This sonata helps to fill a void in the scant repertoire for English horn and piano. It is written in the style of the late Romantic composers, even though it does not imitate any one composer in particular. There are several technical challenges in the English horn part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe inspiration for the music is the story of baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist. The first of three movements begins with a descending motive, symbolically representing the “dove descending,” one of the most significant symbols in Christianity today. After a light-hearted scherzo in the second movement, the descending motive returns again to start the slow, third movement. The movement reaches a climactic point wherein a line in the English horn is presented more-or-less in the speech pattern of the phrase, “This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e3 movements; approximately 12 minutes duration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eClick here for more information on \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/david-deboor-canfield\" title=\"David DeBoor Canfield\"\u003eDavid DeBoor Canfield\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jeanne Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48654164033764,"sku":"JP1115","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/6800\/9126\/files\/JP1115-cover.jpg?v=1775333058","url":"https:\/\/jeanne-inc.com\/products\/canfield-sonata-english-horn-piano","provider":"Jeanne-Inc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
