About Sojourn
To sojourn is to stay only temporarily, or to visit-the lifestyle of the traveler or wayfarer. While that spirit captures
much of the essence of the Palisade Trumpet Collective, coming together from around the country for only a few
short weeks each year to share music with audiences and students, the true essence of this album lies deeper in the
roots of a sojourning traveler. Just as great explorers are always seeking new discoveries, answers, and knowledge
to better experience and understand the world around them, Palisade seeks to trailblaze new musical paradigms
through this album with never before heard works, showcasing the vibrant colors and styles that trumpet ensemble
can generate. This album is a culmination of commissions, consortiums, and arrangements meant to propel the
genre of trumpet ensemble into the future, exploring styles and composers previously foreign to trumpet ensemble
literature, and giving new voices to the repertoire.
About the Ensemble
The Palisade Trumpet Collective was founded in 2021 to engage audiences through the exploration and evolution
of music for trumpet ensemble. Each member of the ensemble is a distinguished performer and professor from
universities across the United States. Education is a staple of Palisades creative vocation, and it is our goal to reach
new audiences with the power and beauty of the trumpet.
Fluent across multiple genres and periods, and comfortable in many performance platforms, Palisade prioritizes
commissioning new works for trumpet ensemble from diverse voices and enjoys bringing various styles and genres
of music to our repertoire through arrangements and transcriptions.
Members of the ensemble include: Zach Buie, Jesse Cook, Eric Millard, Christopher Scanlon, Kevin Whalen, and
Lance Witty.
