Randy Gardner, WHY?!
For Solo Horn
Struggling to discover answers to unanswerable questions is a universal human experience. WHY?! gives musical voice to the process of grappling with these questions. Quotations from the music of J. S. Bach represent all that is beautiful, peaceful, pure, and rational. Contrasting sections contend with the opposite. Throughout this composition, questioning moves towards inner reconciliation and resolution—beginning with a loud exclamation and closing with only a soft question remaining.
