Anyone know of any recent substantial American trumpet literature?
My answer here does not suggest that I'm putting myself forward as the "best" - just for the record!
But I will take a bit of space here to tell you that since 2001 (when I wrote my first trumpet sonata for Richard Stoelzel), I've composed at least 50 works involving trumpet. These range from short unaccompanied works and recital openers, to sonatas (I've done two - the first has been recorded 5 times), to concertos (I've written five solo concertos, and have several duo or triple concertos - most using either orchestra or wind ensemble, or even brass band), and a ton of chamber music.
You can find - and hear most - at ComposerJim.com
I'm a full-time Chicago-based composer/conductor. At first, I didn't want to write for the trumpet, because it is my instrument. Didn't want to get pigeon-holed. I played professionally for 17 years, so I know it pretty well! But then, as I realized that I might be able to contribute to the trumpet repertoire, with music that might even last beyond my lifetime, I found myself really enjoying the opportunity.
Hope you enjoy what you discover, should you decide to check it out!
Thanks,
Jim _________________ James Stephenson
