Nine Movements for Trumpet and Flugelhorn

Composer: Jason Dovel

16'15"

Overview

I have always had a fascination with space and for a long time have wanted to write a trumpet

piece about our solar system. This programmatic work utilizes piccolo trumpet, B-flat trumpet,

and flugelhorn to capture the unique characters of the nine planets in the Milky Way. Harmon

mute is required for one movement. Below are movement-by-movement program notes:

Mercury

Named after the Roman god of the same name, Mercury is the smallest planet, and also the

planet closest to the Sun. It's orbit around the sun only takes 87.97 days, the fastest of all the

planets in the Solar System. Mercury means "messenger of the gods."

This movement utilizes the piccolo trumpet and fast-running 16th note passages to covey the

speedy transit of the planet around the sun.

Venus

Venus is the second planet from the Sun, and is named after the Roman goddess of love and

beauty. Its bright and frequent appearance in our night sky causes it to often be confused by

observers as a star. Second only to earth's moon, Venus is the second-brightest object in the

night sky. Musically, this movement should be played with freedom and rubato, as if admiring

the beauty of the Roman goddess Venus.

Earth

Earth is the third planet from the Sun. The only planet that bears life, this movement uses the

flugelhorn in singing lyricism to capture the beauty of life that is teeming throughout the planet.

Mars

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun. Mars was the roman god of war. While we now know

there is no life on Mars, fantasies about "little green men" and space aliens inhabiting the planet

Mars has made for great literature, movies, and comics. In contrast to Gustav Holst's musical

setting of this planet which focuses on the "Bringer of War," this setting for solo trumpet instead

focuses more on those peculiar "little green men." The performer should remove the 2nd valve

slide and insert a Harmon mute to create the "alien" sound necessary for producing this musical

effect. When a notehead is an X, The player should utilize the traditional fingering expected for

that pitch and accept the corresponding result!

Jupiter

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun. A gas giant, it is the largest planet in the Solar System,

and its diameter is more than 11 times larger than Earth's. Jupiter is typically the third-brightest

natural object in the night sky (following the Moon and Venus). It has a slow orbit, taking 11.86

(earth) years to complete a full orbit around the Sun.

Musically, to capture the sound of a giant planet slowly moving around the sun, this movement

utilizes a trumpet's loud, slow moving low notes. Optional pedal notes in this movement

enhance the impressive size of this gas giant.

Saturn

Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun. Behind Jupiter, it is the second-largest planet of the

Solar System. Like Jupiter, it is a gas giant, about nine times the size of Earth. Saturn is named

after the Roman god of wealth.

This movement should be played on flugelhorn. Musically, it uses a slow tempo and the dark,

low tones of the flugelhorn to represent the ominous presence of this large planet, and perhaps

also the portentous power of a god of wealth.

Uranus

Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun.

It is similar in composition to Neptune, and is often regarded as an "ice giant." Its atmosphere is

mostly made of hydrogen and helium. Uranus is named after the Greek god of the sky.

In some ways, Uranus seems to be an overlooked planet. In contrast to other planets of the Solar

System, very few movies, books, comics take place on planet Uranus! Musically, this piece is

inquisitive. The setting is fast (Vivace) and articulate. While most of this piece is quick and

curious, the arrival at measure 15 is a bit of a reminder that we have arrived a giant and alien

world.

Neptune

Neptune is the eighth planet from the Sun. It is the fourth largest planet by diameter. Neptune is

the god of the Sea. It was initially identified by astronomers not by visual observation but by

mathematical prediction, as peculiarities in Uranus's orbit seemed to indicate another planet

was exhibiting a gravitational influence.

Since Neptune is the god of the Sea, this musical setting seeks to create the sound of violent

waves; at the beginning, this is achieved through quasi-chromatic lines with crescendo-

diminuendo effects in 3/4 time. At m. 21, when the music is more settled into 4/4, the waves

have calmed but still elicit the fear of an unknown world.

Pluto

The status of Pluto as a planet has changed, but the present composer has decided to include

this movement as an optional conclusion to this set. Currently considered a "drawf planet,"

Pluto was first discovered and declared the ninth planet from our Sun in 1930. It is smaller than

Earth's moon, and approximately half the size of the continent Australia.

The composer selected piccolo trumpet to create a distant, tiny sound for Pluto. Interspersed

blowing/wind effects represent Pluto's strong winds, which produce Pluto's topography of

transverse dunes.

Mercury means "messenger of the gods."

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun. A gas giant, it is the largest planet in the Solar System, and itsdiameter is more than 11 times larger than Earth's. Jupiter is typically the third-brightest natural object inthe night sky (following the Moon and Venus). It has a slow orbit, taking 11.86 yearsto complete a full orbit around the Sun. Musically, to capture the sound of a giant planet slowly movingaround the sun, this movement utilizes a trumpet's loud, slow moving low notes.
