This colorful, virtuosic work is a prime example of contemporary music idiomatic for the horn. The three movements include "Pronouncement and Assemblage", alternatively lyrical and florid, the Bartokian "Cadences of a Darkened Wood", and the reflective soliloquies and frenzied horn calls of a "Dawn Foray". Hornists who enjoy performing the Gordon Jacob Concerto will love Venatic Chronicle.
