The Lullaby & Vivace for Ben was composed to commemorate the birth of my grandson, Ben Andrew Michael Baxter, on the 28th May 2017. The piece starts with a gentle unaccompanied lullaby played on the trumpet. When the lullaby is repeated the piano enters with a delicate accompaniment in the high register giving the impression of a child’s music box. The Vivace in 7/8 is based on the notes of the lullaby. There follows a muted section with the trumpet playing soft staccato octave leaps before a recapitulation of the Vivace theme leads to a short coda which brings the piece to a close.

A Mastrick Farewell for trumpet in Bb and piano is a piece about loss. Not only the loss of a sibling but also the loss of innocence.
After a short piano introduction the trumpet enters playing a lament with a simple drone accompaniment on the piano. A bridge passage leads to a recapitulation of the lament but this time accompanied by chords. The piano then repeats the lament in the high octave which sounds like a child’s musical toy. The trumpet returns with a dramatic new theme with accompanying accented octaves on the piano and this style continues during the recapitulation of the original theme. The piece draws to a close with the muted trumpet playing a slower version of the lament with simple but effective arpeggios on the piano.

Major Joy Webb’s contributions to The Salvation Army’s vocal repertoire have blessed and inspired both performers and listeners alike. Bandmaster Ivor Bosanko of the USA Western Territory has written this transcription of one of Major Webb’s most poignant compositions.
The melodic line lies comfortably for Cornet, and provides scope for much expression. Soloists not familiar with the lyrics would do well to refer to the original song, which can be found in The Musical Salvationist, July 1987.
