Description:

This is part of a group of compositions for each of the five Meditation Buddhas. Amoghasiddhi has bar lengths of five beats in section one, and nine beats in sections two and three. The use of nine beats corresponds to the symbol of Amoghasiddhi (Buddha of All-Accomplishing Wisdom) sitting on a throne with nine lotus petals, whilst the use of five beats relates to the number of syllables in his name. This piece for solo horn and 8 accompanying horns was written in 1999 to celebrate the great Buddha of All-Accomplishing Wisdom. It uses just intonation, including some nineteenth harmonics.
