Chronicles. Trumpet Feature. Composed by Joseph Turrin. 1947-. For Soloist. with Concert Band. Piccolo, Flute 1. 2, Oboe 1. 2, Bassoon 1. 2, Bb Clarinet 1, 2, 3, Eb Clarinet, Bass Clarinet, Bb Contrabass Clarinet, Alto Saxophone 1. 2, Tenor Saxophone, Baritone Saxophone, Solo Bb Trumpet, Bb Cornet 1, 2, 3, Bb Trumpet 1, 2, F Horn 1, 2, 3, 4, Trombone 1. Grade 6. Score only. Duration 17. 00. Published by C. Alan Publications. CN.06791. This work in many ways could be considered a concerto, if not in a strict sense of form, at least in expansiveness. The Prologue begins with a trumpet fanfare then becomes a mixture of pointillism versus lyricism. Lamentation consists of a haunting chorale as well as a lyrical trumpet melody. Epilogue is a rondo in 3. 4 time with several sections leading to a last high staccato fanfare as the piece whirls to its conclusion. I composed "Chronicles" during the summer of 1998. It is the second large trumpet work I have written for Philip Smith, the first being the Concerto for Trumpet commissioned by the New York Philharmonic in 1988. This work in many ways could also be considered a concerto, if not in a strict sense of form, at least in its expansiveness. The first movement. Prologue. has several thematic ideas that interweave throughout. There is a mixture of pointillism versus lyricism here along with a driving pulse create by running scale passages shared between soloist and ensemble. I also use a fanfare-like motif. as in the opening solo trumpet cadenza. which serves as a unifying force that reappears throughout. There is a quick coda, ending with a seven-bar chorale in which the solo trumpet recaps material from the opening cadenza. The second movement. Lamentation. begins with a chorale and consists of several contrasting sections. Section A, the opening chorale with the soloist entering in the latter half of the section. Following is Section B. a restless agitato. This section builds to a short climax which leads us to Section C. a plaintive melody in the clarinets followed by a building of tension in the brass. Section D follows. a lyrical trumpet melody with a steady ostinato accompaniment. There is a short trumpet cadenza followed by the return of the opening chorale. The movement slowly fades into silence. The last movement. Epilogue. is a rondo in 3. 4 time. There are several sections, all of which lead to a trumpet cadenza. Following the cadenza is a fast coda bringing back material from the first movement. The solo trumpet states one last high staccato fanfare as the piece whirls to its conclusion. - Joseph Turrin.
