14 Pieces for Trumpet & Piano<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u2018Sett\u2019 is an early 17<\/span>th<\/span>-century English term for a collection or a \u2018suite\u2019 of movements. This <\/span>selection is motivated by a sense that a national obsession with history, literature and the stage <\/span>\u2013 especially in the creative yield between the death of Elizabeth I and the death of Charles II \u2013 <\/span>has unwittingly obscured England\u2019s astonishing musical accomplishments, especially in the <\/span>period between c.1620-1680. After the blossoming of the post-Reformation \u2018golden age\u2019 of Tallis <\/span>and Byrd, it is generally assumed that English musical life went into temporary free-fall until <\/span>the miracle of Purcell in the 1680s. Certainly, there is almost no material until now to <\/span>encourage the modern trumpet player to engage with this exceptionally fine body of work. <\/span>An English Sett for Trumpet is intended as a parody of the good old 17<\/span>th<\/span>-century concept of \u2018mix <\/span>and match\u2019 incorporating the performer\u2019s freedom to devise such groups of pieces as a kind of <\/span>whim or conceit. This programme celebrates many of the colliding features which define the <\/span>period: stylised keyboard dances dovetailing with consort songs, \u2018pop\u2019 madrigals flirting with <\/span>mixed and high-born viol consorts, a lute fantasy of studied melancholy, the unusual <\/span>appearance of the Irish harp at court, an In Nomine \u2018a homage\u2019 to our forefathers, and a <\/span>devilish \u2018battaglia\u2019 as just one example of where variation and division allow a golden thread of <\/span>invention.<\/span><\/p>\n

We hope these works by Byrd, Gibbons, Jenkins, Lawes, Locke and a plethora of madrigalists <\/span>will illuminate concert programmes in their new clothes, skillfully tailored in Timothy Jones\u2019s <\/span>idiomatic arrangements.<\/span><\/p>\n
