Fanfare and Procession

The Fanfare is heralded by a quintuplet motive on a solo trumpet stop, with interjections by crunchy chords coordinating with intense metrical variance to drive the motion forward. The pedal gains more prominence with the Procession, as it marches along with the manuals in a steadier metrical setting than before. Reminders of the opening fanfare appear, followed by a brief return of the opening motive to close the work. A stellar new addition to the recital repertoire.
