G90: Sonic Portals
Trio for Oboe, Horn & Piano by
Simon A. Sargon. 2004, SB. Commissioned by the Texas Music Teacher's
Association. In four movements: The first, Molto tranquillo, begins
with an arching horn melody that sets the mood of the piece. The second
movement is light and airy with a pastoral feeling in its central part.
The third movement starts serenely but dissolves into an agitated and
dissonant middle section, then builds to a climax, followed by a quite
reassuring song. Playful and humorous, the last movement ends in a
burst of high spirits. Despite the commissioning source this a college
level work that only the very best high school students could perform.

HR08: Vermeer Portraits
for Horn and Piano by
Simon A. Sargon. 2002, SB, 18 + 7 pages. Dedicated to Marcia Spence,
Professor of Horn at the University of Missouri. This piece was
inspired by the timeless beauty of the paintings of the 17th century
Dutch master Jan Vermeer. In each movement the composer has tried to
utilize the evocative sonorities of the horn to create a musical
counterpart to the feelings generated by the portraits. The paintings
portrayed are "Christ in the House of Mary and Martha," "Allegory of
Faith," " The Guitar Player," " Woman with a Balance," "The
Astronomer," and "The Soldier and the Laughing Girl."

HR09: The Weeping Shofar
for Horn and Piano by
Simon A. Sargon. 1998, SB, 10 + 6 pages. This piece was inspired by the
Holocaust as a result of a trip by the composer to Eastern Europe. The
Shofar is the ram's horn which is part of Jewish ritual and worship.
Throughout this piece the horn conjures up the sound of the Shofar. It
refers to the traditional calls, but beyond that serves as an elegiac
voice of mourning. The horn also uses some extended techniques to evoke
the choked off cries and sobs of the Holocaust's victims.
