There are two known manuscript sources for the present edition of this sinfonia avanti l'opera. In the Dean and Chapter Library of Durham Cathedral it appears as the twelfth, and last, piece in a collection of late seventeenth-century Italian instrumental music. No composer is given and identification was only possible following the discovery, in 1993, of a concordant source in the Biblioteca Estense, Modena, where the work appears as the sinfonia to Perti's opera L'Inganno scoperto per Vendetta, first performed in Venice as part of the 1690/1 season.It is sometimes hard to ascertain the original functional purpose behind many of the trumpet works written by composers of the Bolognese school as it would appear that some were used as sonate da chiesa, to celebrate mass in the basilica of San Petronio, Bologna, whilst also serving as operatic sinfonie. To confuse the issue further, there are several instances of composers 'borrowing' each other's works: for example, it has recently been discovered that the Torelli trumpet sinfonia a 4 catalogued as G4 in Giegling was used as the overture to Perti's opera Nerone fatto Cesare (1693). So far as the present edition is concerned, however, stylistic considerations would appear to confirm that the work is indeed by Perti and that it was originally conceived as the overture to L'Inganno scoperto per Vendetta. A couple of clues hint at a secular raison d'etre: the Durham source is marked Serenatto (presumably a corruption of serenata, a term often used in lieu of sinfonia) and the last movement of the Modena source is marked Menuet, a term more often associated with sonate da camera than with works of ecclesiastical provenance.Both the Modena and Durham sources for the present edition are virtually note-perfect and occasional inaccuracies were easily corrected by comparing the sources with each other and with the part-books in Durham. Whilst the Modena source lacks the second violin part in the outer movements it contains fuller dynamic markings and tempi indications than the Durham source and these have been followed in the present edition with no editorial additions. Notation has been modernised and, in the piano reduction edition, right-hand arpeggio-figurations rendered more pianistic. Parts are provided for trumpet in D and B flat. I am grateful to the Dean and Chapter of Durham and to the Biblioteca Estense, Modena, for providing microfilm of the manuscripts. I should also record my thanks to Keith Wright for realising the figured-bass which appears in the full-score edition.Mark Latham, Brancepeth Castle, June 1997.

The music of the Austrian Imperial-Royal court composer Fux takes us back to a time in which Vienna's musical life overwhelmingly followed Italian models. The Overture to Pulcheria also clearly reflects this influence. The trumpet is only used in the rapid sections which bracket the two Adagio sections for strings. The final movement is a fugue which concludes with a short, coda-like Adagio. This first edition is based on the manuscript from the Austrian National Library in Vienna.The music of the Austrian Imperial-Royal court composer Fux takes us back to a time in which Vienna's musical life overwhelmingly followed Italian models.

The Bruce Broughton Solo Series features solos by one of the country's most outstanding composers of concert and film music. This new series by seven-time Emmy award winning composer features music that is notable for its wonderfully rich harmonies, flowing melodies and rhythmic vitality. These pieces are ideal for recitals and contests and are great teaching pieces that are appealing to performers and audiences alike. The demanding trumpet work EXCURSIONS, originally written with band accompaniment on a commission by the United States Air Force Band (and recorded by that band on the album, Excursions) is here offered for solo trumpet with piano accompaniment. In the aptly named work, Mr. Broughton explores the diverse technical and expressive capabilities of the trumpet, with the angular melodies and driving rhythms that characterize the piece used by the solo trumpet to lead the accompaniment.
