Open Road, Movement 3. Composed for Trio 8831, ‘Open Road’ is a three-movement work for trumpet, trombone, and piano that is a musical imagining of driving in a fast car through Europe. The first movement, ‘Shift,’ is about a drive through winding roads in rugged hills and mountains. Movement two, ‘Touring,’ regards blurred images through the window of the quickly-moving vehicle. In the final movement, ‘Velocity,’ jazz influence plays strongly into this rendition of a fast drive in a powerful car.
