Trumpet in chamber music - trios
CONTRASTS IN BLUE (2001) for trumpet,
trombone, and piano is in 2 movements: Evening Shadows and Summer Sea The music is evocative of
the imagery suggested by the titles of the movements and of the musical
blues as well. The themes of shadows and water also suggest
a kinship with the impressionist style of 120 years earlier. Music available from Cimarron Music Press ENIGMATIC TRIPTYCH for trumpet, horn, and trombone is dedicated to trombonist Dr. Daniel Cherry. The word “Enigma” is derived from the Greek word ainissesthai, meaning "to speak in riddles." This three-movement brass trio was composed in late 2022 and early 2023, an uncertain time when it appeared that the worst of the Covid-19 pandemic could be behind us.The titles of the movements, Sanguine, Mystic, and Eccentric, may offer the listener some clues as to the “riddle” behind the music. Sound samples: Movement 1.mp3, Movement 2.mp3; Movement 3A.mp3, and 3B.mp3 Music available from Cimarron Music Press
