Description:
Dramatic and declaratory; The Trumpets at Jericho is a 5 1/2-minute fantasy inspired by the famous biblical story; including captions in the music as the drama unfolds. The Israelites cross the Jordan River in pursuit of the conquest of Canaan; with Jericho as the first city in their path. They circled the city's walls once a day for six days; led by blaring trumpets. The Trumpets at Jericho traces the Israelites' activities on the seventh day; in which they circle the walls seven times; triumphantly bringing down the walls amidst trumpet blasts. The work ends with the trumpets paying tribute to Jericho's dead.
