20th Century. Completed in 1983, Lied is dedicated to Vincent Cichowics and explores the lyrical rather than the technical/virtuosic potential of the trumpet. Lied is very tonal, romantic in temperament, and is cast in a broad ternary design, with a duration of approximately seven minutes. Performer must have the ability to sustain intensity of tone and expression with both stamina and control. Range for the C trumpet part is from low Ab below the staff to high Db above. Frequent tempo and metricalchanges, dramatic large leaps. A unique work for the virtuoso performer! Duration: 7:00 minutes. Solo parts in Bb & C included.
