Fantasia for Seven Trumpets (1991) by !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , as performed by Ray Mase, David Krauss, Peter Bond, Robert Sullivan, Mark Gould, Kevin Finamore, and Chris Gekker. Give it a listen. Ewazen’s music is eminently approachable, and this is some of the finest trumpet playing you’ll hear.
For Sweden

Don’t bring this elitist ivory tower classical music razamataz into my Oppo!
Bring back the music from when Western Culture was ascendant!

Let’s at least have some music from that period that was actually written for trumpet.

I think my most favorite modern trumpet piece -or at least what comes immediately to mind - is Introductory Fanfare from Emerson Lake & Palmer in Concert... which of course is fake trumpet via mellotron.
(first 45 seconds before Peter Gunn)
I honestly don’t know if that makes me a Phillistine or not. I mean, I’ve got a favorite flautist (James Galway), surely that counts for something?

Some people like chocolate ice cream, others prefer strawberry. Or vanilla. Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

I do like Fanfare for the Common Man, which coincidentally also has an ELP version.

I have that on CD, actually. The Fanfare comes from the final movement of Copland’s Third Symphony, where it makes a rather startling change of key, unlike the stand-alone fanfare. It’s also interesting to hear Copland orchestrate the fanfare for woodwinds at the beginning of the final movement. The whole symphony is remarkable.

If you are going for fanfare, it’s hard to beat the 1984 Olympics. We did a fantastic job of butchering this in high school.
Either way, I still love it.

That fanfare is a blow. I’ve played it a few times. It’s a chop buster.

I’m a fan of Ewazen’s Tuba concerto. Something fun about tubas playing fast.
trumpet playing you’ll hear.
I can already hear you; stop playing so loud all the time!

“When you know your principal trumpeter is always going to be Tim Morrison, you pretty much write whatever the hell you want, and tell the rest of the orchestra to keep up.”
—John Williams.

Well, it’s no Bugler’s Holiday , but it’s certainly listenable. *grin*

I have never heard that quote, but I certainly believe it. Morrison is an amazing player. Dat sound. At the end of the lyrical solo in the middle, he buries the orchestra playing a low A. Incredible.

I played French horn in school and the horn part in Fanfare is one of my favorites.

The fanfare hurts my face, but I never tire of playing it.

Yeeeeeeah, you never heard that quote because I made it up. But you just gotta believe that’s exactly what Williams is thinking at least half the time he’s writing , no? ^_^
