Description Celebrate, and be Mary! For unaccompanied solo trumpet Duration: 3′ To Mary on her 50th birthday, from her loving friends. Co-commissioned by: Carrie Pierce Lisa Nicol Sangmi Lim Lauren Eberhart Scott Hagarty Donny Pinson Angie Varga Linda White Becky Moeller Scott Pool Ksenija Komljenović What a joy to compose a fanfare for Mary Thornton, on the occasion of her 50th birthday! Mary has played several works of mine, and has commissioned music from me as well. More importantly, she is a dear person with a wonderful heart and spirit. (even if a Packers fan…) So when Carrie Pierce contacted me with the idea of a surprise fanfare for Mary’s semicentennial birthday, I was all in! I love wonderful projects for wonderful people. Have a great birthday, Mary! Now go practice… Jim Stephenson; November 29, 2019
