Trumpet and brass music: original compositions of Dr. Daniel Thrower and other performances.
Return with Honor │ Brass Quintet │ Dr. Daniel Thrower
Completed 19 Sep 2024, the day before the return of my son Paul from a two-year mission in Brazil. It bears a double dedication to Paul and to my Air Force colleague, MSgt Chip Cothran who returned within weeks of my son, from a difficult six-month deployment to the Middle East. This piece truly feels like a profound reflection of what just happened after a lengthy mission away from home. Its three-minute duration tells a powerful story with deeply emotional impact. Interplay abounds between parallel and relative major and minor keys, and few other tonal centers. The work symbolically ends in E-flat major, the parallel major to its opening C minor tonality, signifying the warrior’s positi...

Trail of Tears │ Brass Quintet │ Dr. Daniel Thrower
Просмотров 6121 день назад
In commemoration of "Native American Day," here is my homage to the historically downtrodden and mistreated noble American Indian. Rounding out the “American Trails” with the fifth composition in the collection, “Trail of Tears” is in reference to the heart-wrenching dark history of over 60,000 American Indians being expelled from their lands. During the period between 1830 and 1850, natives fr...
Centenarian, Op. 163 │ Brass Quintet │ Dr. Daniel Thrower
Просмотров 171Месяц назад
It's a rare thing that a human lives to be 100 years old! On 9 September 2024, one of my favorite people reached this milestone of longevity, President Russell M. Nelson, of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This composition is my way of celebrating his outstanding century of life and service to humanity. We love you, President Nelson!
Hokkaido │ Brass Quintet │ Dr. Daniel Thrower

Hokkaido, Op. 157, for brass quintet was completed on 3 Jun 2024. This piece was inspired during a United States Air Force jazz band concert throughout Hokkaido in May 2024. The concert program included the theme song from a popular TV show shot in Hokkaido titled “Kita No Kuni Kara” in which I played a verse on the flugelhorn with the passion I developed during my years playing flugel solos in...

"Sendai" 仙台 │ Brass Quintet │ Dr. Daniel Thrower
Просмотров 642 месяца назад
Sendai, Op. 156, for brass quintet was completed 30 May 2024. It was intended to be a short composition to accompany some time lapse footage that I captured in the Sendai region in Japan, north of Tokyo. The compositional process expanded the work well beyond the combined videos’ duration, so I incorporated many photos as well. Despite some of my somber experiences observing the aftermath of th...
Victorian Dollhouse │ Brass Quintet │ Dr. Daniel Thrower

Victorian Dollhouse, Op. 162, for brass quintet was completed on 5 Jul 2024. This short piece, from its inception, simply sounded like the imagination of a precious little girl playing with an elegant Victorian-era dollhouse. The name and imagery stuck. It isn’t difficult to imagine the scene during the brief musical illustration. Sheet music available here: gildedmusicpress.com/GMP-3079-Victor...
Ultimate Sacrifice, Op. 152: Dedicated to Corey Comperatore │ Brass Quintet │ Dr. Daniel Thrower
Просмотров 2252 месяца назад
Everyone needs a hero. My new hero is Corey Comperatore, who gave the ultimate sacrifice by shielding his wife and daughter from gunfire at the 13 July Trump rally in Pennsylvania. This composition is dedicated to him. May the world take courage from this brave hero! "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends" (John 15:13).

Completed for Independence Day 2024, this rousing patriotic composition underscores images of the American Revolution that began in 1776, climaxing at the end by morphing into a modern fireworks celebration. Enjoy this new celebratory brass quintet piece, America!
"Desert Excursion" │ Brass Quintet │ Dr. Daniel Thrower
Просмотров 1214 месяца назад
Before moving to Japan, part of my family spent a glorious day exploring the east desert in Utah, USA. This video with an original brass quintet composition is a good way to reminisce on our lives one year later, and a good musical photo album to share.

Silver │ Brass Quintet │ Dr. Daniel Thrower
Просмотров 1184 месяца назад
The title and dedication tell the necessary story to outsiders. To me and my sweet wife, however, the one-day event being celebrated represents a one-of-a-kind saga through a quarter of a century of two human lives spent together. The epic story includes bearing and raising six wonderful children with the formation of countless memories that span a unique spectrum of the human experience. Days ...
Last Full Measure │ Brass Quintet │ Dr. Daniel Thrower
Просмотров 3554 месяца назад
Memorial Day cannot be better remembered than with this composition, "Last Full Measure." On 29 November 2023, a tragic accident occurred of the shores of an island in Japan. A CV-22 Osprey aircraft from Yokota Air Base in Tokyo crashed, killing all eight crew members. Being stationed at Yokota as an Air Force Bandsman during that trying time, my emotions turned to music as a gift of solidarity...

Great piece! Blessings from Omaha, NE!
Dan tells a story... and lets us know at 1:20 that someone in the family is not so sure Paul's return is as welcome as it furst seemed. The question is Who ? 😅😅
The musical story telling is up to the listener… glad you got a kick out of it!
Stunning family and piece of music! Congratulations Danieel and Eden on your 25 yes, wishing you many more!!! 🤗🎺🏵
Thank you so much!
Congratulations on 25 years!!!!!!!!that is Soooo Awesome. My favorite picture was everyone holding a Brass Horn of some kind...very cool. Has any of the children learned to play trumpet or is Dad the Lone trumpet Player...still?
@@markanderson3852 All the kids went through their trumpet phase. None of the big kids continued, but most of them enjoyed it. Our youngest will start soon.
That is Awesome to see how the Family started . Astonishing how all grown up they all are. So....hopefully we can have you all come back to San Antonio and Daniel can play in the Messiah again!!!!
what music software is this?
Finale, with the sound library “Note Performer.”
Awesome!!! Japan is always a blast. The smiles you guys have says it all. Thank you for sharing this and yet another very catchy tune. 😀
very aptly named. This has the feeling for me of Christmas music. I like the tuba work in this. Charming and bright.
Exciting piece that does not stop moving. Never a dull moment. Sounds like it would be a joy to play.
Thank you! It certainly was a joy to compose!
What a stunning tribute to a true hero. Beautiful work Mr. Thrower. I hope that by some miracle this makes it's way to his family. 🌹
Thank you. I have tried contacting Mrs. Comperatore. It will take time.
@@TrumpetThrower Yes, agreed. 🙏
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Very nice!!
Thank you very much!
Thanks for the comments! I can’t wait to make a video with the actual fire spinner act we are planning!
Utilizes the ENTIRE Quintet together as an integrated unit... bringing the STRENGTH of all the voices together... as it SHOULD be. The rhythmic patterns from "K" to the end "make" the composition. Thrower is coming into his own...
Bright, crisp and well developed. A joy to listen to.
Thank you so much!
Gorgeous!!! Happy Independence Day America! 🤗
I've never seen anything like that! Wonderful beyond imagining!!! I am so humbled and delighted to be a forebear of it all. How I love ALL of my familly.❤
A very emotionally complex piece...beautifully composed...emphasizing a living memory. Stirring and dignified Music of great strength and character as is fitting. Well done. I used a snare as well in my Cortege and Litany for Brass Quintet.
Thank you so much. That means a lot coming from a fellow composer!
Very nice! I love the Taps motif at the end.
Thank you. It had to be there!
Did you get approval from the Ministry of Cherry Blossoms before you posted this recording ?? Like what you did at about 2:45 onward.
😜
Better watch out... this thing COULD become catchy. You know, the kind of thing people MIGHT groove on and want to listen to more than once. Who knows ??? It COULD happen !! Has a CANON-like quality about it, IF you catch my drift.
It was definitely influenced by Pachelbel. No hiding it…
Really enjoyed this wild ride...lots of interesting interplay and rhythmic variety. A very colorful piece.
Thank you very much! That means a lot coming from you!
How are things in Japan? What time is it there? Are there dragons there? They certainly do beautifully!
I'll send you a private message.
What absolutely beautiful trumpet music to start the day with! Beautiful riding, beautiful playing, thousands of awesome notes floating through the air! Thank you for sharing!❤😊
Feel free to share it with your friends! ☺
Hi Dan, I believe we went to ASU at the same time. I was a freshman when you were completing your doctorate. Randomly stumbled on your YT page, awesome stuff! I miss those days with Hickman group lessons and having Pilafian right down the hall! Glad to see all your success!
Hey, thanks for reaching out! And thanks for the compliment on my music. It’s a rewarding passion! Find me on Facebook-let’s keep in touch.
Most people hearing this will think they're listening to echoes... when they are NOT !! INTRIGUING to say the least... and if you can't count, you're sunk. 7/8 followed by 9/8... talk about being sadist.
I like your sass!
@@TrumpetThrower ... being a sadist... DIMENSIONALLY speaking, of course.
Very nice. My last orchestra concert 12 years ago before retiring as a professional musician featured Handel's Messiah, and I said goodbye to my career as a professional with this piece on my beloved Selmer Paris piccolo trumpet, the only instrument I kept. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for sharing! That is such a sweet memory!
A Hopeful little tarantella, a nice light & fun trio, Dan! Well written!
Thanks! It’s great to hear from you. Glad you like this little trio!
Beautyfull ! Congratulations !

Got to perform this movement at Humboldt Brass Chamber Workshop last summer. I love this movement! So bought the whole set...and introducing my quintets to this. Thanks!
Thank you for the kind words! It is always gratifying to know when my music gets performed!
Great to see J again. He hasn't changed much 🥰
Yeah, he’s a cutie! This footage was taken in 2020 while we were still in Bellevue. He indeed was very much the same boy you knew! 😊
Beautifully performed. Thank you for sharing!
Definitely like the migration and voicing from C... onward... plus the modulation going into the ending.
How beautifully composed and played. It is SO joyous~ I LOVE it! Thank you very much for sharing this!
Splendid music… Awesome trumpeters thank you for continuing your writing and playing and sharing it with us. Hope you are enjoying your tour in Japan. Miss you love your family! Keep in touch.❤
FANTASTICO ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
WOW... Construct and Deconstruct... all in one piece. Haven't seen that before.
Neat idea! I had a lot of fun listening to this
Glad you enjoyed it!
Humoresque
So much fun, that was very fitting for the jellyfish!

Great piece. The music went well with the action.
This is so beautiful ❤❤❤
Thank you so much!
Cool picture Mr. Thrower.
Brilliant!
So good to hear from you and love to hear about the "Land of the Rising Sun". Your composition is absolutely fabulously beautiful. Thank you for sharing it. You sound wonderful. Am happy you are enjoying your time there. Miss you, especially at this time of the Christmas Concert. Do you know who is left here that I know? Tell your awesome family how much I love and miss you all.
Wonderful music. Impressive musicianship. Thank you.
Thank you for making my day!
