Guitar Connection: Trio

Description

Trio for Trumpet, Violin, and Piano was commissioned by Chris Gekker, who first performed it at The Juilliard School in February of 1994. It is a substantial four-movement work of more than twenty minutes duration, of identifiably strong rhythm and harmonic character. The composer has written: Using the Brahms Horn Trio as a model, with its rich combination of a string instrument, a brass instrument and piano, my Trio alternates melodic material between the two solo instruments with the piano providing a resonant accompaniment. Recorded by principal players from the New York Philharmonic on a series entitled New York Legends (Cala Records; CACD0516).
