JERK for Two Horns(Live) by Matthew Nunes - Composer published on 2015-03-21T18:34:23Z Available from Cimarron Music Press: www.cimarronmusic.com/jerk A fantastic performance by commissioners Emily Judd and Katie Rudzik of JERK! From Emily's senior recital, March 15th, 2015. Composer's Notes: For Emily Judd and Katie Rudzik We all have at least one person in our lives we cannot stand but put up with. When this interaction occurs most people present a calm composure but internally there is a litany of frustration. The energetic horns represent this range of emotion with the extremes of the instrument: large intervals between parts, repetitive and jagged sixteenth note patterns, and gnarly falls that mimic a snarl of the title. Contrary to this inspiration the performers I wrote this for are two of the nicest people I had the pleasure of meeting in Orlando. Their enthusiasm and advice were crucial to the formation of this work. Genre jerk
