It is a virtuosic solo that requires agility but avoids the high register. Arpeggios are interspersed with time-suspending glissandi. There are two movements: &#8220;Crisp and Cool&#8221; and &#8220;Aria &#8211; Whistling Wind.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The coloristic effects includes hand glissandi, stopped, half-stopped, and muted passages. In the beginning of Whistling Wind, the player can choose between using the hand or the mute to achieve a gentle, distant sound.<\/p>\n<p>The composer writes:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;When I wrote Colored Leaves, I was thinking about all the virtuosic unaccompanied literature that usually ended on a screaming high C, sometimes higher. Since I play the horn, but don&#8217;t really have a strong high C, I wanted to provide for horn players a musically interesting alternative that didn&#8217;t emphasize the high register. Although difficult, Colored Leaves avoids this gesture, making the piece suitable for players who specialize in low horn.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Composed in 1994, Cynthia Carr selected it as a student competition requirement at the Southeast Horn Workshop in Newark, Delaware in 1996.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Listen<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Listen to a recording made by the composer.<\/p>\n<p>1.
