Abstract

This recital is a creative project exploring the roles of the composer and performer in creating an emotional, musical, human experience through the blending of French horn performance and programmatic composition. When the composer takes part in both the creation and presentation of music, he or she builds a stronger connection with the audience. The diversity of the styles and genres present is also enhanced, creating a new and exciting atmosphere of ever-changing material. Ultimately, the concert becomes an emotional learning experience that relies equally on the composer, performer, and listener to create trust and impart musical wisdom.
