Peter Tiefenbach's 'Three Poems for soprano, trumpet & piano' is a contemporary classical composition that premiered on May 5, 2007, in Toronto, Canada. The piece consists of three movements, each based on a different poem. The first movement, 'The Lake Isle of Innisfree,' is based on the poem by W.B. Yeats. It is a slow and contemplative piece that features the soprano singing the poem's words while the trumpet and piano provide a gentle accompaniment. The movement is characterized by its use of long, sustained notes and a sense of peacefulness. The second movement, 'The Red Wheelbarrow,' is based on the poem by William Carlos Williams. It is a lively and rhythmic piece that features the soprano singing the poem's words in a playful and syncopated manner. The trumpet and piano provide a jazzy accompaniment that complements the soprano's playful delivery. The movement is characterized by its use of syncopation and its playful, upbeat tone. The third movement, 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,' is based on the poem by T.S. Eliot. It is a haunting and introspective piece that features the soprano singing the poem's words in a melancholic and introspective manner. The trumpet and piano provide a sparse and atmospheric accompaniment that complements the soprano's introspective delivery. The movement is characterized by its use of dissonance and its introspective, melancholic tone. Overall, 'Three Poems for soprano, trumpet & piano' is a beautiful and evocative composition that showcases Tiefenbach's skill as a composer. The piece is characterized by its use of different moods and tones in each movement, as well as its use of different musical techniques to complement the words of each poem.
