Sextet for Piano and Wind Quintet (2017)

A three-movement sextet filled with verve and melodic charm. Huntley Dent writes of this work in Fanfare that “[Horne] writes so gracefully for every instrument that musicians must love to perform these pieces, and listeners are grateful to be embraced by them.” In a separate review, Colin Clarke declares: “I defy you to walk away and not whistle one of the melodies from this finale.” (Fanfare)

You can hear a fine performance of this work by flutist Merryl Neille, oboist Andreas Oeste; clarinetist Joshua Anderson; hornist Mary Garza; and bassoonist Cody Dean, with pianist Mi-Eun Kim.
