An exceptionally beautiful and masterful performance of my work for solo trumpet ‎Transformation by the virtuoso trumpet player Dr. Matthew Swihart, Professor at Nicholls State University. It is truly my honor to have the opportunity to collaborate with such an outstanding ‎musician! I cannot wait for future projects and collaborations. ‎
Transformation, for Solo Trumpet, was commissioned by Hollyn Slykhuis at Louisiana State ‎University. It presents a variety of motives in three sections of Passionate, Dramatic, and ‎Lyrical. The first two sections highlight center tones of D, G, and Ab and the octatonic ‎collection. The octatonic collection features various transposition properties and is ‎intentionally used to illustrate transformation as a psychological concept. In psychology, ‎transformation refers to a major change in an individual's thoughts or behavior patterns. The ‎third section is inspired by the Transformation section in the third movement of the ‎composer’s orchestral work Phoenix which reflects the rebirth of the legendary bird Phoenix ‎after it burns itself to come to a new life. The work was premiered by the virtuoso trumpet player ‎Dr. Matthew Swihart, Professor at Nicholls State University, in Thibodaux, LA.
