for
two trumpets and piano

"It's like evil robots taking over the world or something."

- Danny Schumacher
...

Performance Notes:
There are instances in the trumpet parts where the composer has placed quarter notes instead
of eighth-notes, to aid in counting. However, it should be noted that all such staccato quarter
notes are only there to make the rhythms easier to count; they should still be played short like
the eighth-notes around them (except, of course in the short "Drammatico" section, where the notes
are all slurred anyway.)

Premiered August 6th, 2009
