Abstract

This report is an analysis and exploration of the following works: Eug??ne Bozza???s Caprice, Vincent Persichetti???s The Hollow Men, Halsey Stevens???s Sonata for Trumpet and Piano, Alexander Arutunian???s Concerto for Trumpet, Ernest Bloch???s Proclamation, and Eric Ewazen???s Grand Valley Fanfare. The purpose of this report is to aid performance preparation of these pieces by providing thematic and formal analysis as well as identifying general unifying elements for each piece. Once identified, these patterns will help the performer communicate the broad musical ideas to the audience by finding a balance between the technical aspects and musical statements in each work.
