Quintet "The Greats" for English horn with horn quartet, Op. 303 was written after I wrote A Walk with Giants for 12 similar micro-tuneable instruments, Op. 300, which will be on CD56.
This is a companion piece to the Quintet by Victor Herbert for the same group.
I used the “rips” from Op. 300 that corresponded to the three I Ching that have the word "great" in the title: IC 20-56 Great Actions - - + + - +, IC 64-34 Great Power + + + + - - , & IC 37-42 Great Growth + - - - ++. I find it very interesting when listening to this work that it seems calm overall when I was going for big and massive and instead got something like the power of a river that slowly erodes the rocks.
