Trumpet Concerto
A trumpet concerto is a concerto for solo trumpet and instrumental ensemble, customarily the orchestra. Such works have been written from the Baroque period, when the solo concerto form was first developed, up through the present day. Although comparatively rare compared to concertos for other instruments, some major composers have contributed to the trumpet concerto repertoire, such as Joseph Haydn in his Trumpet Concerto in E-flat. Traditionally a three-movement work, the modern-day trumpet concerto has occasionally been structured in four or more movements. In some trumpet concertos, especially from the Baroque and modern eras, the trumpet is accompanied by a chamber ensemble rather than an orchestra. Selected list of trumpet concertos The following concertos are presently found near the centre of the mainstream Western repertoire for the trumpet. Baroque era Johann Sebastian Bach * ''Brandenburg Concerto'' No. 2 Joseph Arnold Gross *Trumpet Concerto in D major Johann Fried ...

Trumpet Concerto (Arutiunian)
Alexander Arutunian’s Trumpet Concerto in A major (1950) is the Armenian composer's sixth major composition, a "virtuoso showpiece" composed in 1949-1950. According to J. Sundram, "it is an energetic powerhouse of Eastern European lyricism and harmonic textures". Arutunian's engaging and idiomatic trumpet concerto was "quickly assimilated into the standard trumpet repertoire worldwide, earning highest international praise from audiences, critics and performers". In an interview with Allan Kozinn of ''The New York Times'', Philip Smith, the former principal trumpeter of the New York Philharmonic, observed that Arutunian's Trumpet Concerto was frequently chosen as an audition piece at Juilliard. "One of the reasons this piece has become so popular..." Smith said, "is just that it's a flashy piece. It has a very gypsyish, Russian, Armenian kind of sound, with very soulful, beautiful melodies and plenty of exciting rapid-tonguing kind of things.'" * Professor Anatoly Selyanin rela ...

Trumpet Concerto (Davies)
The Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra is a composition for trumpet solo and orchestra by the British composer Peter Maxwell Davies. The work was commissioned by the Philharmonia Orchestra for its then principal trumpeter John Wallace. It was given its world premiere by Wallace and the Philharmonia Orchestra under the conductor Giuseppe Sinopoli in Hiroshima on 21 September 1988. Composition The Trumpet Concerto has a duration of roughly 28 minutes and is composed in three connected movements: #Adagio – Allegro #Adagio molto #Presto Parts of the music are derived from the medieval plainsong ''Franciscus pauper et humilis'', commonly associated with the Roman Catholic friar Francis of Assisi about whom Davies had intended to compose an unrealized opera. Instrumentation The work is scored for a solo trumpet and a large orchestra comprising two flutes, alto flute, two oboes, cor anglais, two clarinets, bass clarinet, two bassoons, contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets, t ...

Trumpet Concerto (Grime)
Trumpet Concerto, ''night-sky-blue'', is a concerto for trumpet and orchestra written in 2022 by the Scottish composer Helen Grime. The work was commissioned by the Koussevitzky Foundation, Library of Congress, the London Symphony Orchestra, and the Boston Symphony Orchestra. Its world premiere was given by the trumpeter Håkan Hardenberger and the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by François-Xavier Roth at the Barbican Centre, London, on 3 April 2022. Composition The concerto is written in one continuous movement composed of interlinking sections and has a duration of roughly 22 minutes. The subtitle, "''night-sky-blue'', is taken from a poem by Fiona Benson. Instrumentation The concerto is scored for a solo trumpet and an orchestra comprising three flutes (2nd doubling alto flute; 3rd doubling piccolo), two oboes, Cor anglais, three clarinets (2nd doubling alto clarinet; 3rd doubling E-flat clarinet), two bassoons, contrabassoon, four horns, two additional trumpets, two ...

Trumpet Concerto (Michael Haydn)
Michael Haydn's Trumpet Concerto in C major, MH 60, was completed in 1763, and "is one of the most difficult in the entire repertory."Edward H. Tarr, booklet for Naxos 8.554375, ''The Art of the Baroque Trumpet'', Vol. 4 The work is in two movements: *I. Adagio *II. Allegro molto Confusingly, this concerto is sometimes listed as Trumpet Concerto No. 2 in C major, but the Trumpet Concerto No. 1 in D major, MH 104, is technically two excerpts from a divertimento and not a concerto proper. Besides the solo trumpet in C, the concerto is scored for 2 flutes, strings, and continuo. Part of the difficulty of the concerto is because of the very high notes for the trumpet, which is written even higher than the flutes (indeed, the solo trumpet part is much higher than would be advisable for the modern trumpet, while the flute parts are too low for modern flutes to be heard clearly against a full string section). Both movements provide room for a cadenza; Edward H. Tarr's edition for Musica ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Trumpet Concerto (Hummel)
Johann Nepomuk Hummel wrote his Concerto a Trombe Principale (''Trumpet Concerto in E Major'') for Viennese trumpet virtuoso and inventor of the keyed trumpet, Anton Weidinger (as had Joseph Haydn). It was written in December 1803 and performed on New Year's Day 1804 to mark Hummel's entrance into the court orchestra of Nikolaus II, Prince Esterházy as Haydn's successor. There are places, primarily in the second movement, where Weidinger is believed to have changed the music because of the execution of the instrument. It is unknown whether this was in agreement with Hummel. Originally this piece was written in E major. The piece is often performed in E-flat major, which makes the fingering less difficult on modern E-flat and B-flat trumpets. A typical performance lasts around 17 minutes. Form The work is composed in three movements (typical of a concerto) and they are marked as follows: * I. Allegro con spirito * II. Andante * III. Rondo Instrumentation The work is scored ...

Trumpet Concerto (Leopold Mozart)
Leopold Mozart's Trumpet Concerto in D major was completed in 1762, and is now "popular with trumpeters." The work is in two movements: # Largo # Allegro moderato Besides the solo trumpet in D, the concerto is scored for two horns in D and strings. Only the first movement provides room for a cadenza; the Gábor Darvas edition published by Editio Musica gives an 8-measure cadenza which requires no ledger lines but consistently involves small note values. In fact, in regards to range, the concerto is "cautious."E. H. Tarr, preface to Michael Haydn's Trumpet Concerto in C major, which by contrast is "dangerous" in its use of high notes. Discography Nikolaus Harnoncourt with Vienna Concentus Musicus chooses this Trumpet Concerto to cap off a disc of music by the composer's son, which includes the Bassoon Concerto K. 191. It can also be found on several CDs with trumpet concertos by other composers, such as: * George Vosburgh's recording with the Seattle Symphony and Gerard Schw ...

Trumpet Concerto (Mozart)
The Trumpet Concerto, K. 47c, is a putative concerto for trumpet by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, that is now lost (if it ever existed). It would be Mozart's only concerto written for a brass instrument other than his four horn concertos. History and evidence for existence The only evidence for the existence of the concerto is a letter written on 12 November 1768 by Mozart's father, Leopold, in Vienna to Lorenz Hagenauer back in Salzburg, the Mozarts' home. In the letter, Leopold wrote that "the new church of Father Parhammer's orphanage will be consecrated on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. For this feast, Wolfgang has composed a solemn mass, an offertorium and a trumpet concerto for a boy...". The church involved was the church on the Rennweg in the Vienna district of Landstraße Landstraße (; Central Bavarian: ''Laundstrossn'') is the 3rd municipal district of Vienna, Austria (german: 3. Bezirk). It is near the center of Vienna and was established in the 19th century ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Trumpet Concerto (Musgrave)
Thea Musgrave's Trumpet Concerto was written in 2019 for the trumpeter Alison Balsom (to whom it is dedicated) on a commission from the Cheltenham Music Festival, the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Its world premiere was given by Balsom and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra conducted by Edward Gardner (conductor), Edward Gardner at the Cheltenham Music Festival on 6 July 2019. The piece later won the 2020 South Bank Sky Arts Award for Classical Music. Composition Background Musgrave's inspiration for the concerto came from two main sources. The first was during her first meeting with Balsom, who mentioned that she loved to "sing" with her instrument. In the score program note, Musgrave wrote, "This idea of using the trumpet as a 'singing' instrument immediately captured my imagination." The second source of inspiration came when the composer attended an exhibition called "A Certain Light" featuring still life paintings of trees by ...
