For three trumpets and piano the piece starts out in a fanfare fashion and quickly settles down into an expressive mode with the piano creating a flowing pattern. Two trumpets at a time play in unison, switching off between parts. The first then adds a obbligato fanfare, then adding all three parts in harmony. The next section alternates between easy flowing sections and vigorous additions. The piece quickly concludes in a stately fashion. The piece would serve well as a fanfare in various venues.

For trumpet trio and piano, the trio begins with a majestic statement and soars to a high point where it then settles down to a more solemn style. The three solo parts now exercise smooth contrapuntal interaction and then abruptly becomes more agitated. After coming to a strong climax the three parts, unaccompanied, become very expressive and tentative only to be followed with the piano joining in a strong sense of resolve.
