Nocturne for Horn & Piano op. 1

Wind Dances in Three Vignettes

Le Bouffon Triste, the first installment of Horn Solos under 10 Minutes written by Jason Oelmann, Masters Student at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. 

Le Bouffon Triste, french for "The Sad Clown," Is a minimalistic narrative of a sad clown. It opens with an aleatoric 12 tone row, which replies to itself in modulation, inversions, and retrograde inversions. Shortly after the introduction, the key of F minor presents itself with the opening of the first horn line & piano. This is a fun piece for a intermediate horn player looking for something different to put on their recital, or showing.
