About this arrangement

Solo Trumpet SKU: IG.PDP092 Composed by Verne Reynolds. Score. Imagine Music Publishing #PDP092. Published by Imagine Music Publishing (IG.PDP092). 9 x 12 inches.Solus was commissioned by Mark Ponzo for inclusion on a compact disc devoted to trumpet music by Reynolds. He had been coached by Reynolds in a brass quintet for several years while a graduate student at the Eastman School of Music and has always had tremendous respect for Reynolds as a performer and composer. Ponzo requested that the piece exploit the range of timbres available from various instruments and so the work uses five different horns (trumpets in C, B-flat, and E-flat; flugelhom, and B-flat comet). Ponzo premiered Solus on a recital on 12 March 1995 and subsequently recorded it on The Trumpet Music of Verne Reynolds (Mark 4843-MCD). The composer commented that Solus does not have to be performed in its entirety. N.B. Reynolds stated in the holograph of Solus that all the movements are notated in concert pitch.
