Composer: Bretz, Michael
Number of trumpets: 5
Key: Bb concert
Duration: 3:30
Difficulty: 7
Catalogue no.: TRP-095
An extended fanfare with several interwoven sections, themes, and transitions for five B-flat trumpets. Lots of contrasts in dynamics. Some tricky counting, hence the "7" rating, but worth it. Makes a great opener.
ITG Journal, June 2010, page 90:
"Specializing in music for trumpet ensemble, Triplo Press has released another quality selection." "All five parts have excellent pacing, and Bretz has expertly constructed this fanfare by including a great deal of rhythmic, harmonic, dynamic, and textural variety that holds well together as one finely crafted work. Trumpet ensembles of advanced undergraduates through professionals looking for a quality concert opener or closer should consider programming this work."
