Solstice Sonata
(2013) for trumpet and
organ was commissioned by
the American Guild of
Organists for its 2014
Biennial National
Convention in Boston,
Massachusetts. It was
premiered on June 24,
2014 at the Memorial
Church, Harvard
University, by trumpeter
Chris Gekker and organist
Christian Lane. At the
solstice (summer in the
Northern Hemisphere and
winter in the Southern),
the sun is directly
aligned with the tropical
latitude lines, and the
longest day of the year
occurs (marking the start
of summer). This sonata
is music of celebration
and contemplation, taking
the inspiration of the
longest day as a starting
place for both meditation
both thoughtful and
joyous. Take Flight soars
and leaps with
vigor-perhaps the image
of a hang-glider's
journey over a dramatic
landscape under the late
evening sun. The Dream of
Peace is lyrical and
passionate; it is perhaps
night music of reflection
and intensity.
Glittering, Aglow begins
with quiet, mystical
music: a gradual
awakening. A vibrant,
syncopated dance breaks
out, is interrupted by
the quiet music again,
and returns to push
forward to a vibrant
conclusion. The new
season has
begun.Instrumentation:
Trumpet and Organ.
