Hestia Climbs Down Off Her Pedestal, for trumpet ensemble, SCORE

4:30

Hestia Climbs Down Off Her Pedestal was commissioned by Trompettes Soniques in 2022. In Greek mythology Hestia was the goddess of the hearth, domesticity, sacrifice, and hospitality. In this modern-day retelling, we see Hestia on her pedestal, she climbs down from the pedestal and has several adventures, then she pauses to reflect on the pedestal from afar. Finally, she returns to the pedestal but on somewhat different terms. Hestia was one of the awarded compositions in 2022 in a collaborative call for scores by Diversify the Stand ( ‪@diversifythestand‬ ) and the Trumpeter's Multi-Track Competition (‪@TrumpetMTC‬).
