Difficulty: 5

Price: $19.00
The second prize winner of the 2004 ITG Composition Contest (solo trumpet w/trumpet ensemble accompaniment) and premiered at the 2004 ITG Conference in Denver, this three-movement work is written for trumpet solo and trumpet ensemble accompaniment. All six parts are for C trumpets (which means that they could all be played on B-flats). All parts have lots of action and independence. Very idiomatic for trumpets but with fresh approaches to interplay, color, and accompaniment. Fanfares, warm melodies, playful rhythms. Movements' names: Crossing the Cuyahoga, The Skyline at Night, and The Emerald Necklace. Click here to see what the composer has to say about this piece.
- CONCERT FANFARE
Ewazen, Eric (b. 1954)
- Key: B-flat
Duration: 2 minutes, 30 seconds
Difficulty: 4
Catalogue No.: TRP-064
Price: $15.00
A very strong and colorful work with the harmonic, melodic, and dynamic color for which Eric Ewazen is so well known; uses interplay between the various players and pairings to excellent effect. Contrasts between fanfaresque and legato playing and loud and soft abound throughout. The tessitura of the first trumpet is at the top of the staff, with high C being the top note. Fun to rehearse because of the smart writing, and the product is very satisfying for both player and audience. An excellent contribution to the genre.
