I'm happy to announce the publication of “Sentinels,” a fanfare for two trumpets commissioned in the wake of September 11. The work's central section pays homage to the mensural advances of the 14th century, gradually accelerating towards a breaking point in the process. In this respect the rhythmic structure can be perceived to collapse on itself. As I composed, the image ever before my mind’s eye was that of two towering, isolated individuals — shadow figures in some tragic sense — no doubt evoked by the events of 9/11. It may be a fitting way to mark the anniversary of that tragic day in American history.
Publication information is listed below. The score is available directly from me, from The Newmatic Press (info@newmaticpress.com), from J.W. Pepper https://www.jwpepper.com/Sentinels/11213304.item#.YON1MxNKiqA or from your favorite music retailer. You can hear the music and see the score at the YouTube link below.

If it's a recently composed work, is it really commissioned in the "wake" of that event? That was 20 years ago. I've always heard that phrase used to describe things that are a little closer together chronologically.
In any case, thanks for posting. _________________ LA Benge 3X Bb Trumpet
