Omschrijving
TOURNAMENT for 2 Trumpets was composed for Michael Davison, Professor of Trumpet at the University of Richmond (VA - USA) and John Aley, Professor of Trumpet at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and was premiered by them at the International Trumpet Guild Conference in May 1999.
The work is in 3 movements (performed continuously, with no breaks) and features 3 different types of trumpets - C trumpet, fluegelhorn and piccolo trumpet.
The first movement, “Jousting” is a fanfare-like movement written for 2 C trumpets and may also be performed alone.
The second movement “Wine & Song” employs 2 fluegelhorns for a darker, more singing sound.
The final movement “Revelry” uses 2 piccolo trumpets for a more intense, exciting quality.
TOURNAMENT is intended to loosely portray three elements of a medieval tournament, while showing the variety of style and tonal color inherent in the members of the trumpet family.
The players should stand some distance apart, at least 2-3 meters.
