Music by Daniel Dorff
MUSIC FOR BRASS
Fanfare for
Two Trumpets (April 1992) 40 sec.
Commissioned by Haddonfield
(NJ) Symphony to commemorate Music Director Arthur Cohn’s
retirement, and the installation of Music Director Alan Gilbert.
“Dorff's
dynamic and articulation intentions are very clearly marked. The
piece is easily accessible to players at the college level, and
is effective, festive, and interesting. It is a good-of-kind
composition, with a few tricky rhythms and a practical
range.”
