Draculissimo, Concerto grosso for trumpet, tenor trombone and chamber ensemble, piano reduction with solo parts

Draculissimo, Concerto grosso für Trompete, Tenorposaune und Kammerensemble, Klavierauszug mit Solostimmen

The concerto takes the historical figure of the brutal impaler Vlad Tzepesch (1431-1476) as its starting point and subsequently develops the myth into an overwrought and gruesome piece of work: 1: "Oderint dum metuant" is a raving Allegro with a Baroque ritornello structure and modern "Draculisms". 2: "Luna su Tirgoviste" is a memoriam for the thousands of impaled victims who came to a violent end in today?s Târgoviste. 3: "Il ballo transilvano" confronts a naive waltz rhythm with aggressive polyrhythmic reinterpretations - in the manner of the stick and the carrot. 4: "Bacio di sangue" is Neo-Baroque horror music which has got out of hand, demanding extreme virtuosity from both soloists and ensemble.
