Moderato 2. Adagio 3. Vivace   Born  in Venice, Benedetto Marcello was a member of a noble  family and his compositions are frequently referred to as Patrizio Veneto. Although he was a music  student of Antonio Lotti and Francesco Gasparini, his  father wanted  Benedetto  to  devote  himself  to  law.  Benedetto  managed  to combine a  life  in  law and public service with one  in music. This concerto was originally written for oboe.   ~Brief Pause~   II. Trio for Trumpet, Violin and Piano – Eric Ewazen (b. 1992)  1. Andante  2. Allegro Molto 3. Adagio 4. Allegro Molto   Eric  Ewazen’s  Trio  for  trumpet,  violin  and  piano  was  commissioned  by trumpeter  Chris  Gekker,  who  performed  it  at  the  Juilliard  School  in February of 1994. The composer has written: “Using the Brahms Horn Trio as  a  model,  with  it’s  rich  combination  of  a  string  instrument,  a  brass instrument  and  piano, my  Trio  alternates melodic material  between  the two  solo  instruments  with  the  piano  providing  a  resonant accompaniment.”  ~Intermission~          III. Badinage – Eugene Bozza  (1905 – 1991)  Bozza’s  chamber  music  for  winds  shows  great  familiarity  with  the capabilities of the  instruments, often demanding a great deal of technical skill, without  losing  the  expressive, melodic  style  typical of  20th  century French chamber music.  IV. SOLUS – Stanley Friedman (b.1951)  1. Introduction 2. Furtively  3. Scherzando and Waltz  4. Fanfare   This piece tells the tale of a trumpeter battling with schizophrenia.  In the style  of  the  Sequenzas  from  Luciano  Berio,  a  variety  of  extended techniques  for  trumpet  will  be  exposed.  The  piece  concludes  with  the trumpeter  essentially  losing  this  battle  –  represented  by  a  heated conversation with his own inner conflict.   V. Fantasie, Theme and Variations on the Carnival of Venice – Jean Baptiste Arban (1825 – 1889)   Arban’s Carnival has long been a benchmark in the repertoire for students of  the  trumpet  and  cornet.  The  basic  Carnival  melody  is  present  each variation,  becoming more  frequently  decorated with  rapid  tonguing  and arpeggiation.
