David Halls (b.1963) is director if music at Salisbury Cathedral in the United Kingdom, where he has served since 2005. A composer of many choral works (also published by Paraclete Press), including anthems and carols, hymns, canticles, and other service music, he has written for organ solo and other combinations of instruments. Sound the Trumpet is an engaging work for organ solo. Fresh harmonies and unexpected rhythmic patterns make this accessible A-B-A piece interesting for both the organist and the listener. The piece begins in B-flat major and modulates to D major for the B section, where the registration changes to a quieter one and legato passages ensue. A return to the opening material is then combined with the B material and the piece concludes with some “crunchy” cross-harmony chords.
