Call to Arms is in the style of a fanfare and is to be played in a very free style. There
are a number of contemporary trumpet techniques included within this short work.
Although the theme is primarily heraldic in nature, it is also tinged with sadness,
insecurity and fear... Many emotions that are evoked for the sake of war. Although this
piece is only 60 seconds, it tells the story of being called up to war, love, fear and
death in just a small number of bars. This evocative work ends with a nostalgic soft
bugle call, reminiscent of 'The Last Post' and conveys the trumpeter playing over a
misty graveyard where many soldiers have fallen.

“I feel certain most agree with me about the excellence of UK composer Darren
Fellows. Darren and I had been hoping to perform his music for several years. His
brass composition is exquisite, to say the least. Darren and I had hoped to collaborate
for several years. Fortuitously, he was one of the winners in the international
competition for composers, Say it in 60 Seconds, organised by the renowned Oxford
Festival of the Arts and brilliantly curated by Michelle Castelletti. Darren has
surpassed himself in this wonderful addition to the mainstream solo trumpet
repertoire…”
