Re: Trumpet and Soprano works

What kind of soprano? Lyric or coloratura can do the Baroque stuff pretty easily, but not so easy for a dramatic.

For Baroque stuff beyond Handel and Scarlatti:
Bach Cantata 51
G.B. Bassani Aria con Tromba "Quel che dice il tuo bel core"
Telemann "Göttlichs Kind, Lass mit Entzücken"
Zelenka - Laudate Pueri (originally for tenor, but works with soprano also)

Beyond the Baroque:
Eric Ewazen - To cast a shadow again....
Stanley Friedman - She Walks in Beauty
Bernhard Krol - Gloria breve (w/organ)
Robert Starer - The Mystic Trumpeter - (for Mezzo or dramatic soprano)
Peter Tiefenbach - Three Poems
Friedrich Wildgans - Der mystiche Trompeter, op. 52

There are lots of other contemporary pieces for chamber group (Schoenberg Nachtwandler, Webern, etc.).

I've done a couple of commissions as well, but those are multi-movement works that are a bear to put together. If you're interested, let me know.....
