Gary Mortenson covered this year’s Festival
of Trumpets: “The Pennsylvania State Capitol
Rotunda was a wonderful setting for the 2009
Festival of Trumpets extravaganza. Space does
not allow this report to include all of the
personnel (there were over 50 participants on
the program). So we’ll proceed with the titles
and composers for each selection and comment
from there.
“Military Fanfare by David Buhl brought forth
regal sounds to open this year’s concert.
Featuring a large group of performers, one
could imagine we were in a European court
announcing the arrival of royalty. Concerto a VII
Clarini con Tympani by Johann Ernst Altenburg
was next and featured the Kentucky Baroque
Trumpets, an outstanding group of players on
natural instruments. The performers struck just
the right mix of balance, control, and dynamic
contrast to give us a really fine reading of this
historically important work. Of special note was
the uniform attention to attacks and releases
from the entire ensemble. The second
movement, requiring tremendous control and
endurance came off with great sensitivity. The
final movement had a great lilt (in one) and
brought this great piece to a triumphant
conclusion. Duet from Modena Italy (anonymus)
rounded out the initial (historically traditional)
part of the festival program. This effective work
evoking the sounds of renaissance Italy was a
truly glorious postcard from the trumpet’s distant
past!
