Fanfare For The Isolated Human (world premiere performance) - for trumpet ensemble by Ian Lester published on 2021-04-23T17:45:31Z Performance by the Oakland University Trumpet Studio Written for 6 B-flat trumpets and 1 B-flat bass trumpet, Fanfare for the Isolated Human was commissioned in early December of 2020 by Jennifer Oliverio for the Oakland University trumpet studio and premiered virtually on April 10th, 2021 for the final round showcase of the Trumpeter's Multi-Track Competition. At the time of composing this work, the COVID-19 Pandemic was still raging throughout the world with tragic outcomes such as death, prolonged illness, financial hardship, and much more. For musicians and other artists, live performances were limited, and at times, even non-existent. This work is in a basic ABCA rondo form, each section defined by a certain pandemic-related scenario or thought (i.e. the grocery store frenzy of part I or the persistent question of when will things go back to normal in part III).With melodies and rhythmic motives constantly trading off within the ensemble, and solo passages in the bass trumpet and the top three trumpets, each of the seven parts have vital roles in bringing this work to life.
