This new composition for solo trumpet by renowned composer Philip Sparke explores many aspects of trumpet playing and in particular its lyrical and technical possibilities. It is a two movement piece but either movement can be played separately if a shorter solo is required. The ‘theme’ of the piece is a weekend in New York with the opening bluesy movement, Saturday Serenade, describing the city on a Saturday night, perhaps in a smoke-filled jazz bar. While composing the second movement, Sunday Scherzo, the composer pictured an early morning jog in Central Park. A must for all trumpet players. This work is also available for trumpet and concert band.
