The instrumentation for the 2004 ITG Composition Contest was Solo Trumpet with Trumpet Ensemble. The Arizona State University Trumpet Ensemble, directed by David Hickman, had the honor of performing the top two pieces from this year’s composition contest. The second place winner, Cleveland Sketches, by Clint Needham featured Edward Sandor on solo trumpet and flugelhorn. This three-movement work was a virtual cornucopia of brilliant fanfare figures, shifting muted harmonies serving as the underpinning of delicate melodic lines, and heroic statements of strength from the entire ensemble. The movements were titled as follows: I. Crossing the Cuyahoga, II. Skyline at Night, III. The Emerald Necklace.
