    Excited to share this creation with everyone! Nielsen's music has always resonated deeply with me. His ability to blend profound musical themes with humor and beautiful melodies is truly inspiring. This piece, though short, evokes a myriad of emotions for me, especially memories of Denmark and its cozy atmosphere, known as "hygge."
    Nielsen wrote this piece for low-horn auditions at the Royal Danish Orchestra, where he once played. Despite its technical purpose, it's a true work of art. My arrangement embraces Nielsen's style while adding my own touches. Look out for nods to his use of percussion!
    Orchestrating great music is an honor and responsibility. My goal is to share my interpretation while honouring the original's essence. Working with Megan Evans and the ESO has been a joy and an honour. Megan's talent and passion bring this piece to life, and this arrangement is a tribute to our collaboration and friendship.

    I am so delighted to share this recording with you! It’s a special piece for low horn players like me. In the orchestra, the first and third horns play mostly high notes and the second and fourth horns play low. Players usually specialize in either low or high but most solo pieces are written for high Horn players. Canto Serioso, by Nielsen is one of the less common pieces written for the low horn.
    This recording is extra special because the original Canto Serioso is for Horn and piano, not horn and orchestra. My dear friend Alex Prior, who is SO talented, arranged the piano part for a full orchestra! This version doesn’t exist anywhere else in the world, so cool! I’m really happy the Edmonton Symphony has recorded this version and we can share it with all of you.
