City Rush, River Flow from the Photographs Suite
This piece, a duet for trumpet and flugelhorn, is inspired by a picture taken from the top of a cathedral in Ulm, Germany. The village is seen below, with a river gently running through it. The trumpet represents the village. It is much busier and more rhythmic, reflecting the architecture as well as the bustle of people. The flugelhorn plays lines that move slower and are much more smooth, lyrical, and gentle, representing the flowing river. At the start of the piece, the two parts are quite separate from one another; existing together but very contrasting. In the middle, the trumpet line begins to be influenced by the gentle, flowing flugelhorn line. They play the same melody, but the trumpet moves twice as fast. At the end of the piece, the two exist in complete harmony, playing an ambient and expressive soundscape.
