FANTASY FANFARE
"Specializing in music for trumpet ensemble, Triplo Press has released another quality selection." "All five parts have excellent pacing, and Bretz has expertly constructed this fanfare by including a great deal of rhythmic, harmonic, dynamic, and textural variety that holds well together as one finely crafted work. Trumpet ensembles of advanced undergraduates through professionals looking for a quality concert opener or closer should consider programming this work."

INTRADA DRAMATICA (2006)
Price, Joseph
Key: Bb Major concert
Number of trumpets: 5
Duration: 3:11
Difficulty: 5
Catalogue no.: TRP-098
A rather striking and very dramatic work for five trumpets (also written for eight trumpets - see Eight Trumpets in the Triplo Catalogue). This piece has a great deal of rhythmic and melodic counterpoint in very dramatic and harmonically fascinating ways. The juxtaposition of some melodic and expressive content add to the intriguing and exciting aspects of this piece. Intrada Dramatic has a decided "wow" factor without being overly difficult. It can be used as an extremely impressive opener or for a very special one-piece occasion. (Recorded by Tromba Mundi)
