„Meeting“ is communication.
„Meeting“ of tradition and modernity.
„Meeting“ creates new impetuses.
The alphorn as transmitter of messages.
The alphorn as a fascinating instrument.
There are many aspects that inspired Kurt Gäble to write his composition "Begegnung" (Meeting). This piece fot the uncommon combination of big band and alphorn(s) consists of three parts: andante, allegro and espressivo. You can substitute the solo parts with instruments from the big band.
The different possibilities of the solo parts:
1st part (alphorn in F, horn in F/Eb, tenorhorn in Bb)
2nd part (alphorn in F, horn in F/Eb, tenorhorn in Bb, baritone/trombone
3rd part (alphorn in F, baritone/tuba)
