Our chamber orchestra will be performing a collection of movements that were commissioned by our orchestra which are meant to "embody" the diversity of our community and showcase local composer/arrangers. One composer is asking for a "timbre trill" at one point in his composition. This is a rip up to a g sharp with trill written over it. Parenthetically he has placed a g sharp beside it. Can someone advise me as to exactly how this should be played?
In addition, another movement has a very slow (eighth note = 63) horn solo over the string section. It begins with a low g sharp below the staff and meanders its way up melodically, in a five bar stretch, up to a high C sharp above the staff. I'm panicking!!!!! Any (kind) advise regarding this? (Other than shoot the composer) Is this a reasonable request? The composer is an organist I understand and I think played trumpet at some time in his musical career.
