'Everything Matters' is a contemporary classical composition by Danish composer and trumpeter Palle Mikkelborg. The piece was composed in 2010 and premiered on September 25, 2010, at the Copenhagen Jazz Festival. The composition consists of four movements, each with its own distinct character and mood. The first movement, titled "The Beginning," is a slow and contemplative piece that sets the tone for the rest of the work. It features a solo trumpet accompanied by a string orchestra, creating a sense of intimacy and introspection. The second movement, "The Dance," is a lively and rhythmic piece that features a jazz-inspired trumpet solo accompanied by a full orchestra. The movement is characterized by its energetic and playful nature, with the trumpet and orchestra engaging in a lively call-and-response. The third movement, "The Dream," is a haunting and ethereal piece that features a solo cello accompanied by a string orchestra. The movement is characterized by its dreamlike quality, with the cello and orchestra creating a sense of otherworldliness and mystery. The final movement, "The End," is a somber and reflective piece that brings the composition to a close. It features a solo trumpet accompanied by a full orchestra, with the trumpet playing a mournful melody that gradually fades away into silence. Overall, 'Everything Matters' is a powerful and evocative work that showcases Mikkelborg's skill as both a composer and a performer. The piece combines elements of classical music and jazz, creating a unique and compelling sound that is both accessible and challenging. With its four distinct movements and wide range of emotions, 'Everything Matters' is a testament to the power of music to move and inspire.
