Eventually, the tension dissipates as brass, percussion and strings join together s rringly, propelling the piece to its triumphant conclusion. It seems to say that, even knowing the perils that you’ll face, you have no choice but to move forward. The horn and other brass instruments have a s rring quality. Their use in fanfares and marches a ests to the power to inspire. The father of German composer Richard Strauss was principal horn in the Munich Court Orchestra, and that early exposure to the power of the instrument surely led to its extensive use in many of the younger Strauss’s works, including the anthemic Also sprach Zarathustra and tonight’s selec on, his Horn Concerto No. 1. Born in the mid nineteenth century, Strauss’s career spanned both the late Roman c and early Modern periods in classical music. There is some tension there between the old and the new. Strauss’s father detested the radical new style of Wagner’s operas. As a young man, Strauss followed his lead, staying with the conserva ve mindset of his father’s genera on. Later in life, he would come to regret this ini al rejec on of Wagner and embrace new ways of thinking. His fi rst horn concerto was wri en at the age of 18, when he was s ll very much under his father’s infl uence. This concerto is in the three movements tradi onal to European concertos, with the fi rst two linked. The solo instrument comes in almost immediately: a er just one resonant chord from the orchestra, the horn jumps right in with a heroic fanfare. There is a triumphant quality to the concerto, as the horn solos over swelling strings. In the context of this concert, it carries the confi dence of Dr. King as he pressed forward with the knowledge that America could give up its entrenched ways and embrace the new. This brings us to the centerpiece of the concert and some radical music making of our own. The Dutch composer Jacob Ter Veldhuis goes by the nom de plume JacobTV. He describes himself as an avant-pop composer. His early career lies not in the rarifi ed air of academia, but as a rock musician. However, when he began to seriously compose full- me, he was quickly awarded the Composi on Prize of the Netherlands. His work is o en mul media in nature,
