Matthias Pintscher: Shining Forth for trumpet in B-flat or C: Trumpet:

(2008 2012) Playing scoreFor trumpet in B-flat or CThe composer writes about his trumpet piece: Shining Forth is a reference to a work created by Barnett Newman in 1961. It is a very strict graphically inspired picture with economical black lines on untreated canvas. It is a homage an 'obituary' a requiem for Barnett Newman's brother whose Hebrew first name is Zerach which means 'to rise' (of the sun). In recent years the trumpet has taken on a special role and importance for me both in chamber music and in orchestral works or in a double concerto for two trumpets. It was time to create a solo piece for this instrument. The music is very introspective in places almoston the edge of tonelessness and lapsing into silence a shrill (out)cry picks out the theme of the loss of a loved family member.'
