NOTES FROM FARAWAY PLACES

"Notes from Faraway Solos and Duets for Trumpet(s) Like many trumpet players (besides composing, I also play the trumpet), I am always looking for new material to practice and perform. There exists a plethora of challenging and musically satisfying solos and etudes from various musical eras, but when I decided to add to our repertoire, the longer, more substantial concert etude attracted me most. Using extended traditional techniques, these suites are works intended for public performance and require a lyrical, expressive approach throughout. The “Notes from Faraway Places” were written between 1992-99. Each etude is labelled with the city or area in which it was composed. Two exceptions: Suite 3, Etude 2, “The Crow’s Nest”, is the name of my music studio in Morristown, New Jersey; Suite 3, Etude 3, “Solo”, is a piece for solo flugelhorn that appeared in the International Trumpet Guild Journal in 1992. The suites call for Bb and Eb trumpets along with flugelhorn. The duets at the end of each suite use ideas from at least one of the etudes within the suite and as a result, constitute in each case a coda." David Sampson
