Levis Dream (LEVI’S DREAM for horn quartet (or ensemble) by Howard J. Buss showcases the agility and rich sonority of the instruments. Multiple players may be used on the parts to expand the ensemble. The title refers to an imagined dream of Levi, the namesake of the Israelite Tribe. The Levites were known for their involvement in priestly duties and music. Although the composition is loosely programmatic, much of the music has a distinctly Middle-eastern quality. The soulful nature of the slower sections is enhanced by the expressive, luscious ambience of the horns. The composition features two sections with original tunes in the style of Jewish folk songs. One is slow and contemplative, the other, jubilant. Levi’s Dream is an audience-friendly work appropriate for the concert hall or a house of worship.)
