Description

Common Man's Pursuit’ takes inspiration from Aaron Copland’s 'Fanfare for the Common Man'. The work develops from the simple motives of the original fanfare. Techniques like fragmented melodies, interval development and textural themes are used to transform the large orchestral fanfare into an unaccompanied solo trumpet piece. However, the piece does not resemble a uniting character like its source material. The atmosphere is more isolated to show one person trying to completely multiple different roles. This shows the differences from when 'Fanfare of the Common Man' was written to our modern era.
