Duality

for Two Bb Trumpets

Instrumentation:

  • Bb Trumpet 1
  • Bb Trumpet 2

Program Notes:

In my first semester of my senior year of High School, when I was first in
pursuit of people playing and looking at my music, I would constantly ask friends if they would be interested in me writing them a piece and all they need to do in return is to look at it and give their thoughts. This is one of those pieces I wrote and specifically it was written for two trumpet players, Wilson, and Jacob. Both had great range and a solid sense of rhythm so I thought I would write them this piece based on the concept of Duality. It showcases technique and somewhat unstable odd time signatures, while also showcasing beauty and stability.

Dedication/Purpose:

For Wilson and Jacob
