B-Flat Trumpet Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1448514 By C.Moran. By C.Moran. 21st Century,Classical,Contemporary. Individual part. 2 pages. BanksiaBrass #1028427. Published by BanksiaBrass (A0.1448514). Isolation, an evocative trumpet solo composed by Australian musician Chris Moran in 2023, captures the profound emotional landscape of the Covid-19 pandemic. This piece reflects themes of solitude, resilience, and hope that marked this unprecedented period. Moran's use of the trumpet's dynamic range, from hauntingly soft passages to powerful, resonant crescendos, mirrors the fluctuating emotional states experienced during lockdown. The solo opens with a somber, almost mournful melody, evoking the sense of isolation and uncertainty that permeated daily life.As Isolation progresses, Moran introduces motifs that symbolize the collective struggle and eventual resilience of the community. Syncopated rhythms and sudden dynamic shifts depict the chaotic nature of the pandemic, while lyrical, sustained notes convey moments of introspection and hope. This solo serves as a powerful musical commentary on a significant historical event and is an ideal piece for Year 12 HSC music students exploring contemporary Australian music.

Juan María Solare: Reverence (Homage to Bach)for solo violoncello, or solo viola, or violin solo, or trumpet solo.Reverence: even if a person hates baroque music, he/she will respect Bach. He is one of the few composers before whom all musicians would spontaneously take off their hats.

It is difficult to determine, by listening, whether this piece is tonal or atonal: one of the riches hidden in this name.Reverence (Homage to Bach) was composed in Bremen (North Germany) on February 14th, 2014 (notice the 14, Bach's number in gematria) in the frame of a call for works made by Maksim Velichkin, to whom the piece is dedicated.Second version: for solo trumpet (Bremen, 16 Feb 2014)Third version: for solo violin (Bremen, 22 Feb 2014)Fourth version: for solo viola (Bremen, 27 Jan 2015)The solo violin version was recorded by Antonio Spiller (former concertmaster in the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra) on a Baroque violin (and bow) built by Eduardo Angel Gorr (Cremona) in 2013.
