Lamento for Don Quixote for Trumpet in C and Strings (piano reduction) by Terry Mizesko was commissioned by Michelle Hudson for her husband, Tim, on his fortieth birthday.

Here is a description of this beautiful work by the composer, Terry Mizesko.

The Lamento is a set of 12 variations on a ground bass in a quasi neo-baroque style with Spanish and Italian highlights. Each variation sets a particular mood with an interplay of trumpet and piano. It is virtuosic and demanding. The piano plays three variations on their own while the trumpet rests. A tour de force in terms of expression for the trumpet. The solo trumpet part is in C. This is an excellent recital piece.

This work of about 10 minutes in length, is a major work for Trumpet and Piano and is suitable for advanced performers.
