Snowscapes
double concerto for two trumpets (1 doubling flugelhorn), piano | Christopher Keach and Margaret Hopkins | $35.00
I. Flurries
II. Footprints
III. Festus
Program Note:
"Snowscapes" illustrates three common scenes of a wintry environment: "Flurries" blowing through the wind, heralding an oncoming storm; "Footsteps" left behind by unknown travellers, telling a story in their journey; and "Festus," a raucous celebration of life and love amid such conditions. In this double concerto, the players evoke the many conflicting feelings such a season can bring—though the sun goes down sooner, the moon on the snow will still light the way.
