Several years ago, I commissioned a work from my father Bruce Thompson, professor of composition at Winthrop University, for our trio to perform alongside the Poulenc. The resulting work, Three Anachronisms, has become somewhat standard repertoire for that combination. Like most of his works, it is written in a reasonably conservative style, perhaps somewhere between Britten and Tippett, with the last movement maybe somewhere closer to John Adams. You can find a bit more information at: http://www.thompsonedition.com/brasstri.htm This topic has actually come up on the Elmhurst/Memphis hornlist before. See for example: http://www.hornplayer.net/archive/a92.html >p.s. we are playing the poulenc for my recital. Do be careful how you position that work on a recital. I had occasion to perform it again only last week, and was once again reminded that, due to striking lack of rest, it is, for such a short work, surprisingly taxing for the horn, and perhaps even more so for the trumpet. The work is well worth performing, but you might not want to use it to close a long program. >I also was wondering if anybody knew where i could find: >Niels Viggo Bentzon (out of print), Donald Miller sonatine >en trio, or Mark Wolfram (commissioned by the horn society). Well, we have had a look around, and kind find any extant copies of the Bentzon or Miller works, but would be glad to supply you with a copy of the Wolfram if you like.
