Solo for Trumpet and Concert Band-From the dynamic driving introduction to the expressively lyric Andante cantabile Concertpiece for Trumpet was created to showcase both the technical and lyrical qualities of the trumpet. Whether cascading down difficult runs negotiating its way through exciting double-tonguing passages or soaring above the ensemble during the most expressive moments the trumpet soloist is challenged to perform at an extremely high standard of excellence.After the expressive middle section the recapitulation of the opening Allegro once again re-establishes the brilliant energetic qualities of the trumpet while the following Coda focuses on the interplay between the soloist and theensemble. A dramatic flourish of ascending runs brings this work to a fitting conclusion.

Work for Chamber dating from 1988.The composer writes:MINNEWATER means ‘love water’/‘love lake’ but when I began to compose the work this direct meaning of the title was not very important to me. Rather the word itself had a magical sound. Later on however it occurred to me that the piece was full of mumbling swells and swarming cascades and the sensation of water is perhaps most perceptible towards the end where lots of falling water movements are felt behind the emphasized rhythmic surface. Falls that moreover quite literally at the end sinks into the water. MINNEWATER has a subtitle: THOUSANDS OF CANONS which directly refers to a compostion techniquewhere all layers and elements in the music constantly are imitated; possibly waves imitating each other? The mudded and impalpable beginning of the work takes its starting point in one of my earlier pieces the sextett LES TUCHINS (in fact the first 5 or 6 pages of the two pieces are quite identical but in MINNEWATER it is all ‘blown up’ to a larger ensemble). Quite soon however the thread to LES TUCHINS is cut off and it goes its own way; From the mumbling in the start - through swarming trills and pointilistic staccato movements - to a long section where the trumpet appears as a soloist and in a way conducts the movements of the remaining ensemble right to the rhythmic final section of the piece. MINNEWATER was commissioned by the Danish Radio for the German Ensemble Modern

Shortcut Home is a rousing fanfare that features each selection of the ensemble. With an exciting drive and jazz-based interludes the piece cascades towards its 'home' of C-major. Under three minutes long Shortcut Home is a perfect attention-grabber for the beginningor end of a concert.

Opening with a stately rhythm in the low brass the main theme moves into a slightly slower and more lyrical section with cascading triplets moving throughout the woodwinds. Moving into a faster section the piece echoes motives from earlier in the work while introducing a few new ideas. An excellent choice for contest and festival.

The title First Light refers to the arrival of dawn – specifically the composer's experience of dawn in the mountains surrounding Lake Garda in northern Italy. There the light of the sun arrives in distinct stages:the night sky begins to brighten quite early though the sun remains hidden behind the mountains for several hours. Abruptly the first direct ray of sunlight crests the mountaintop bringing with it intense palpable heat. Thetown below nestled in the narrow space between the water's edge and the steep mountain slope remains in darkness for a while longer until the sun ultimately sends light cascading down the mountainside illuminating everything.(Grade 5) Dur: 8:30

Originally a composition for chorus by Kevin A. Memley this adaptation by Preston Hazzard makes expert use of the various tone colors available for band. Cascading waterfall effects are represented in the mallet percussion andwoodwinds while an underlying rhythmic texture provides a flowing background for the lyric melody. The piece builds nicely to a full band climax before returning to a quiet and delicate mood for the close. Dur: 4:10
