A quintet for for horns and piano
The Fantasy Variations are founded (says the composer) on a group of ten chords written as an example of 20th Century harmony, discovered in an old theory notebook. Henry’s work is a set of unusual variations exploring the rich harmonies of a French horn quartet and a sparkling piano complete with its own solo passages. Not your usual academic theme-and-variations, this is a colorful work with surprising variety and excitement. Medium difficulty. Duration: ca. 9 minutes
