Piece of Eight (8Trp) (Dedicated to Marc Reed and the University of Alabama at Birmingham Trumpet Ensemble, Pieces of Eight begins with a lush, contrapuntal chorale, which returns as a varied refrain in the faster, rhythmically playful second section. Featuring numerous changes of mood, timbre, and texture, this challenging and exciting work builds to a rousing climax and will be a great way to end any concert. )
