Composer's Note: Quockerwodger is a duo in three movements, each movement features a different member of the trumpet family: 1) C trumpet, 2) flugelhorn, and 3) piccolo trumpet. Hi storically a quockerwodger is a toy that is animated by the pull of a center-mounted string, sometimes also known as a "jumping jack." In today's vernacular, it can also be a political figure that is controlled by others (pull the metaphorical string). The work is dedicated to friend, colleague, and fellow San Diegan, Dr. Randy Lee. Show more
