"This is largely lyric music, both lovely and poetic, ... The open and soaring melodies remind this reviewer of Copland and Hovhaness." - John Falskow, ITG Journal, March 2013
"Beautiful and pensive Summer Suite occupies a unique expressive and emotional space in the trumpet repertoire. The great modern works are inaccessible to anyone with regular skills on the instrument. Summer Suite offers us intriguing lines to play through with rare opportunities to be intimate and thoughtful." Matt Burke
Summer Suite was composed for trumpeters Brian Chin (Seattle, Washington), Nathaniel Mayfield (Austin, Texas), Bryan Appleby-Wineberg (Glassboro, New Jersey), Adrian Kelly (Perth, Australia), Marco Esperti (Italy), and Matt Burke (Manchester, U.K.).
