Product Description
The
"CKZD" is based on a
source from Lübeck, dated 1598; a book of principale
Sonatas upon which a group of trumpeters and timpanists would improvise
together. This piece was reconstructed
following sources such as Bendenelli and the Toccata
from Monteverdi's L'Orfeo. "CKZD" is most probably a
dedication to "Christian, König zu Dänemark" (Christian, King of
Denmark). This version was commissioned
by Trummet, a historical
natural-trumpet group led by Julian Zimmermann.
The
ideal sound picture is of a pyramid,
with the weight at the bottom and a light top, dancing in the resonance of the
overtones. The lower parts should be
played with a full, vibrant sound and rhythmical, clear attack, giving welcome
support to those above.
Trumpets
5 and 6 must take care that their drone of a 5th is always pure,
like a "power-chord" on a rock guitar.
Further
ornamentation in all parts, especially the clarini, is to be encouraged within
the written structure.
