Prince of Denmark’s March Fantasy

Based on Jeremiah Clarke’s well-known Prince of Denmark’s March, Joel Treybig’s “‘Prince of Denmark’s March’ Fantasy “for two trumpets and organ was composed for the 2015 International Trumpet Guild Conference. Since Clarke’s piece was so well-known to the audience, Treybig’s piece starts with only a brief quote of Clarke’s original setting before quickly moving into newly composed material that features a variety of textures, timbres, and styles, several complete re-harmonizations of the tune, a cadenza for trumpets, and a grand coda that brings this exciting and effective piece to a robust and colorful close.
