Trompeten, Nachts und Untergang
Ørjan Matre’s Trompeten, Nachts und Untergang is a 26-minute work for solo trumpet and choir (SSAATTBB). It is based on texts by the Austrian poet Georg Trakl and describes distant trumpet sounds, decaying castle ruins and icylakes, in the spirit of German Romanticism. Trompeten, Nachts und Untergang (Trumpets, Night and Downfall) was premiered by Norwegian trumpeter Tine Thing Helseth and the Norwegian Soloists' Choir (conductor: Grete Pedersen) atthe Ultima Oslo Contemporary Festival in September 2020. This edition is the choral score (EP 14530) of the work. The trumpet part (EP 14530a) is available separately.
