Music by Mark OConnor

Brave Wolfe for trumpet and violin is a piece by Mark OConnor based on an old traditional ballad. It was recorded by OConnor and Wynton Marsalis for the album "Liberty!". The recording was also used throughout the film documentary produced for PBS, "Liberty! The American Revolution". This may very well be the first duet ever written for trumpet and violin. Summarized as a "triumph" by album notes writer Thomas Fleming, he goes on to characterize the duet by saying "Marsalis sound echoes the noble sadness of this celebration of the heroic death of British General James Wolfe before Quebec in 1759. The piece turns into a musical gallop, evoking the surging seesaw battle Wolfes army fought outside the walls of the fortress city. We have a collaboration between the trumpet wizardry of Wynton Marsalis and Mark OConnors extraordinary virtuosity on the fiddle." The music is suited for advanced levels.
Original music printed from the composers manuscripts.
