ENTRADA

for Six Trumpets

Entrada is a bold, architectural work for trumpet sextet — music that announces itself.

Scored for six equal voices, the piece explores clarity of articulation, precision of ensemble, and the power of tightly aligned rhythmic gesture. Rather than leaning into overt lyricism, Entrada emphasizes structural momentum, registral contrast, and the brilliance inherent in the trumpet choir itself.

Originally selected multiple times for performance in academic and conference settings by collegiate trumpet faculty, Entrada has proven effective as:

• A featured trumpet ensemble work

• A conference or studio showcase piece

• Advanced collegiate repertoire

• A strong program opener

The writing demands confident players across the ensemble, with particular attention to:

• Rhythmic unanimity

• Clean articulation

• Controlled upper register playing

• Dynamic shaping across layered textures

The result is music that feels ceremonial without being sentimental — direct, focused, and unapologetically trumpet-driven.

Duration: 3'15"

Difficulty: Advanced collegiate / professional

A compelling addition to serious trumpet ensemble repertoire.
