Written for Joseph Alessi.
Mr. Ferro sucessfully portraits certain periods of the day. He vividly captures Dawn (Daybreak) and sets the music so that we can picture the sun just starting to come up in the morning. Picture birds chirping, and very little sound. The piece progresses towards the sun gaining strength and height for the corona and finally the alba. I great piece for your recital combined with his other composition "Sunset"
Nicola Ferro creates a wonderful arrangement of one of the most famous of arias from Puccini's Tosca. The trombone provides the powerful vocal line of Mario Cavaradossi as he waits for his execution, while the cello and piano expand the somber texture. An aria that all should be familiar with!
A dramatic, dynamic piece for Trombone and Trumpet, and Piano! Strong melodies and intense technical passages make this a great selection for brass players. Composed for Daniele Morandini on trombone Yigal Meltzer on trumpet.
