whitebark pine — for trumpet and fixed media (2025)

Commissioned by Christopher Scanlon, duration 5’

This work is part of my “color etude” series for trumpet, specifically color etude 09:02. The title, whitebark pine, refers to a particular tree found in North America, and the fade of color between the trees and the cloudline in the morning.
