Product Overview
For Horn and Piano
By A. Dvorak
Arranged by Jeffrey Powers.
Mr. Powers selected five of the ten "Biblical Songs", Op.99 (1894) by Antonin Dvorak that he felt would be complemented through performance on the horn. He worked from the lower pitched settings of these songs for baritone voice retaining the original keys of that setting. Given that the music was conceived with the Czech translation of the Psalms in mind, Mr. Powers endeavored to retain the original rhythms of that setting wherever possible. The English translations of the texts from the Psalms are provided to help the performer better understand the meaning of the music and thereby be better equipped to portray its character. A broad, cantabile style of playing is recommended throughout.
