Thanks for your list and for starting this topic. I'm normally not in favor of repeating topics from other trumpet sites, but this one runs in parallel with our gender discussions on this thread.

Don't forget Dlugoszewski's Tender Theater Flight Nageire for brass 5tet and percussion. It's recorded by a pretty good group on CRI (859). Also, since you mention Judith Bingham, check out her The Snows Descend (brass ensemble) sometime. I did it at the Royal Academy of Music in London once upon a time.

Ellen Taaffe Zwilich is an interesting composer. Do you know that Ellen was the producer of Gerry Schwarz' first recordings on Delos (Haydn/Hummel and The Sound of Trumpets with the something called the New York Trumpet Ensemble)?

I'm a big fan of the work of Betsy Jolas, Libby Larson, and Roxanna Panufnik, and even more so of Augusta Reed Thomas and Joan Tower. Sofia Gubaidulina, of course, has become an iconic composer in today's world. Don't forget her Trio (3 trumpets). It's included in a program of contemporary music that some of my students at McGill are touring in January. Germaine Tailleferre was a member of Les Six and should require no introduction here.

As for the others. . . yikes. . . I don't know any of them. Perhaps this is part of the problem discussed here. Comments, anyone?
