Weather Patterns for Trumpet & Piano Dedicated to Kate DeVoe Duration: 8 Min Instrumentation: Trumpet in Bb (w/ delay, reverb, and loop pedals) Piano Performance Notes: Weather Patterns incorporates sections of both traditional composition where the notes are played as written (Part I: m. 1‐37 & Part III: m. 80‐132) as well as more fluid, improvisational composition where the players are allowed to bend in and out of time with each other and play their interpretation of the score (Part II: m 38‐79). Part II also incorporates the use of electronic FX processing. The gear used by the composer includes an AKG C519 ML clip‐on trumpet microphone. This microphone picks up the sound of the trumpet as well as the piano when indicated by putting the bell of the trumpet in the piano lid; the signal from which is sent through guitar FX pedals. We used a Boss RV‐3 Reverb/Delay set to large reverb and subtle medium‐long delay (this pedal is no longer manufactured, so feel free to use separate reverb and delay pedals if that is what is available to you). We also used a Boss RC‐20XL Loop Station (again, any pedal with loop, overdub, and fade out capabilities should work just fine). We then sent the signal out to a guitar combo amp (acoustic G100FX to be exact). All electronics are muted for sections I & III. Copyright © 2016 Boreal Bard Music (ASCAP). All rights reserved.
