Flugelhorn solo with Piano accompaniment

About the piece

By a Calming River (2016) was written in Côte-D'Azur Valdeblore, France, in the French application mountains and inspired by (as the title suggests) a river. The trumpet offers such a rich and round sound that is generically calming; the piano presents a soothing but rapid succession of notes that mimic the rushing water.
