Elements for solo trumpet is a piece inspired by the music of Claude Debussy. I think that Debussy and other impressionist artists like Monet and Manet had the extraordinary ability to be expressive through finding and sharing the elements they believed to be the most essential. The elements of nature and the elements of our perception, inspired the impressionists and this piece of music. This piece for unaccompanied solo trumpet was designed to utilize the idiomatic nature of the trumpet and to fit well with a solo trumpet recital, or other program.
