Dan-

It's not whether it was written to be double or single tongued--it's what you have to do physically to achieve your musical goal. Ideally, the listener should not be able to tell (or even want to think about) what physically process you employed to produce the sound.

On a side note--this piece was written to be the anti-trumpet-solo trumpet solo. I hear it as almost sentimental and even nostalgic. If you do double tongue it, don't think of it as a fanfare.
