"Daisy" is a toy poodle, and a "Diva" !

Andante & Vivo for Daisy Dog was composed for my daughter Marie’s dog, Daisy, who is a toy poodle and a diva. The first three notes the trumpet plays in the Andante, C, Ab and Bb, form the basis for the whole piece. The Vivace, influenced by the French composer Bozza, is a fast version of what we heard in the Andante. The middle section which has the trumpeter playing four groups of triplets, each group higher and louder, is a sort of badinage between the trumpet and piano. A recapitulation of the earlier Vivace theme is followed by ascending and descending passages in the whole tone scale which is shared between the trumpet and piano and which ultimately brings the piece to an exciting end.
