Description
Joseph Turrin’s compositions for trumpet are frequently performed, and have
become a large part of the trumpet repertoire. His trumpet works are played at events
such as International Trumpet Guild conferences, have been featured with many well-known
orchestras and bands, and are standard recital works. Many of Turrin’s trumpet
works have been performed and recorded by well-established musicians, which include
Philip Smith, Joseph Alessi, David Hickman, Robert Sullivan, Brian Shaw, Thomas
Hooten, Terry Everson, Wynton Marsalis, and Alison Balsom.
This study examines in detail each of Joseph Turrin’s twenty-four published
works for trumpet. Turrin’s pieces include Elegy, Caprice, Concerto for Trumpet, Intrada,
Two Portraits, Someone to Watch Over Me, Chronicles, Two Gershwin Portraits,
Fandango, and Three Episodes, and include pieces written for Philip Smith, Joseph
Alessi, Wynton Marsalis, Harold Lieberman, Lew Soloff, Brian Shaw, Robert Sullivan,
and Thomas Hooten. A complete history of each composition and arrangement, and
information relating to their premieres are presented. Technical elements from the music
are discussed, such as range, articulation, melodic contour, endurance, and difficult
fingerings. Biographical information such as youth, education, and career about Turrin
are incorporated, along with a discussion of his compositional characteristics and
influences. In addition, a list of each work with an assigned difficulty grade, as well as a
current discography, is included.

Description
ABSTRACT:
The research for this paper is intended to introduce the reader to many of the influential trumpet performers and pedagogues in East Asian countries and territories along the Western Pacific Ocean Rim, including China, Hong Kong, Japan, the Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan (R.O.C.), Thailand, and Vietnam.
Shao-Chun Tsai, the author of this research paper, finds it important for musicians to recognize that they are often influenced by other musicians in addition to their own efforts and self-discovery of who they are as artists. The author is a trumpeter and pianist from Taiwan, and would like to acknowledge the many outstanding trumpet players from Asia that have made important contributions to the discipline of trumpet playing. Unfortunately, there are very limited English resources available for the recognition of these pioneers, and as such they are often unknown to the general public and even to aspiring musicians. By gathering a collection of biographies, the author’s goal is to shed greater light on the rich trumpet playing and pedagogy heritage and influence in this region.
The research information contained within was primarily gathered through personal interviews conducted by the author in order to ensure that the most up-to-date and accurate information was collected for the project. This project studies nine regions and includes thirty-seven trumpeters deemed to be influential by the author, who has invested her best efforts to acquire the most in-depth and current facts obtainable. The author hopes that the stories behind each of these successful musicians will stimulate trumpeters of all ages and inspire them to pursue their own development and goals in music.
