Berceuse for B♭Trumpet and Piano

Berceuse for B♭Trumpet and Piano

This little Berceuse was written for my friend, Cathy Sheridan. I have spent many a happy evenings on stages and in orchestra pits with this phenomenal musician. For many years Cathy served as principle trumpet of the Capital Region Wind Ensemble, a group I am lucky enough to lead as Music Director. The original version of this piece, generously commissioned by Cathy, was for solo trumpet and wind ensemble and premiered in 2013 by Cathy and the Capital Region Wind Ensemble.

In the summer of 2013, as I was coming up with ideas for Cathy, I could hear the happy sounds of my neighbors’ children playing next door. On a beautiful summer evening, as the kids were winding down, it occurred to me to write a lullaby, a Berceuse.
