Description

Contraptions for solo trumpet consists of nine short movements exploring a variety of contemporary trumpet techniques and idioms. The whimsical titles of the movements conjure various mechanical devices, the functions of which range from providing fanciful transportation to ameliorating the human condition. The small collection may be considered a “companion” to Concoctions, also for solo trumpet.

The piece was written in 2008 and commissioned by the trumpet studio of Dr. Keith Benjamin, Professor of Trumpet, at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.
