Ensemble Time (Die Musizierstunde) MZ 299
(2 trumpet choirs)
- for the wedding of Andrea & Tobias Zinser (August 2013) -.
Originally written for a wedding, this piece begins with a majestic, festive intrada. It is followed by the chorale on which the piece is based - at first presented as a solo and then as a duet. The two flugelhorns’ interplay resembles the dialog between two people who are close to each other. If you continue this association, the two trumpet choirs also listen to each other in the course of the piece. They are in constant exchange and, despite all their independence, finally find each other in a bright coda.
