Hey all,

I've been asked to write some program notes and am having trouble finding information on the following:

Malcolm Arnold-A Hoffnung Fanfare
Thomas Stevens-The Moudon Fanfares for Twelve Trumpets
Vaclav Nelhybel-Ludus for for three tubas

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much!

Jimi,

I would recommend asking Tom Stevens himself:

Thomas Stevens - Official website

I've never tried to get into contact with him so I don't know how often he checks his mail on that site, but it's definitely worth a shot.

Malcolm Arnold - Hoffnung Fanfare

For 36 Trumpets!!

Written for the memorial service of Gerard Hoffnung (1960). Performed by the Trumpeters of the Royal Military School of Music and then presented to Mr Hoffnung's widow afterwards. It was rediscovered by James Olcott in 1987 and is now published by Triplo Press.

Jimi,

Hello from LA

We performed and recorded Moudon Fanfares (with Tom conducting) last summer at Chosen Vale. What do you need to know about it?

Best,
EC

Hey Ed,

I'm trying to write program notes, so the basics of when and under what circumstances it was composed, basic style of music, etc. It doesn't look like the piece is even listed on his website...

Thanks,
Jimi

Jimi,

Tom wrote Moudon Fanfares for one of the original James Stamp classes that Jean-Pierre Mathez (Editions BIM/Brass Bulletin) organized in Switzerland (take a look at your Stamp book -- the photos inside are all from those classes). It's scored for double trumpet 5tet and 2 "soloists" who stand between the 2 bands. Hakan Hardenberger, by the way, was one of the original soloists (he must have been a teenager)

Have you tried Google (keywords title and composer)?

PM me your address and I'll send you a recording. Sorry that I can't help with detailed notes other than the titles of the movements: Fanfare Deux a Dix, Fanfare BIM, Fanfare Tranquille, Fanfare Clifford, Fanfare Epilogue Deux a Dix.

Best,
EC
