André
Jolivet (1905-1974)
established his love for
composition from a young
age. This remained
throughout his life, and
he held the post of
Professor of Composition
from 1966-1970 at Paris
Conservatoire. Concerto
No. 2 for Trumpetwas
composed in 1955, and
remains highly regarded.
Jolivet, himself a
cellist, wished to
explore composition for
all instruments and
therefore has a
considerable number of
works in all fields. The
composer's style is also
knownfor its
spirituality, and the
desire to associate the
everyday with the
magical, and the human
with the universal.
Jolivet draws on
acoustics and atonality,
as heard in Concerto No.
2 for Trumpet. The piece
requires high,virtuosic
skills due to its
expansive use of extended
techniques. For all
advanced trumpeters,
Jolivet provides an
exciting, different piece
for the instrument's
repertoire.
