Georg Phillip Telemann’s only concerto for trumpet, the Concerto in D major for trumpet, violins, and basso continuo (TWV 51:D7), was composed sometime between 1710 and 1720. This is Telemann’s only work for written for trumpet in his vast repertoire. Telemann uses sonata da chiesa, with its four-movement, slow-fast-slow-fast plan, for his concerto. Originally for trumpet, strings and continuo, this work has been transcribed for performance on the soprano saxophone (or clarinet) and piano.

Micah Ahern lived 7 courageous, hard-fought years with Neuroblastoma, a deadly form of cancer that attacks children. I had the privilege of knowing sweet little Micah where he was a student at Ditto Elementary School in Arlington Texas, where I am the school librarian.

He lost his battle July 28, 2016; he spent every day living his life to the fullest and was especially fond of baseball. Micah become an honorary member of the Texas Christian University (TCU) baseball team the last 3 years of his life, and even attended one of their playoff games in the College World Series shortly before he died. Micah's zest for life had a tremendous positive effect on everyone that he knew. He is loved and missed by many.
