Description
This piece for trumpet and horn was originally composed in 1989 and was greatly recomposed 20 years later. Works for two brass instruments present a specific challenge for the composer. Player fatigue must be definitely factored into the writing. A fanfare-like opening sets the tone for the first movement, followed by a more lyric theme. The second movement has a chant quality about it, and brief cadenza passages for each instrument. The final movement is quite animated, with the two instruments often imitating each other at close time intervals.
