Based on an 1865 Walt Whitman extended metaphor poem about the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, O Captain! My Captain! for Solo Trumpet and Audio Track captures the sounds of the high seas and the lament of the crew as they return from their voyage, having traded their captain's life for the treasure they sought. The soundscape sets the stage for haunting quotes from Whitman's poem as well as many dazzling and heart-wretching phrases from the soloist. This work is perfect for high school or college trumpet players looking to include electronic accompaniment in their performance!
