about

This piece was composed in 2020 which in the Persian calendar coincides with the year 1399. This title 1399 is meant to suggests a collapsing and intertwining of time and space. In this piece, I explored many extended techniques to show the versatility of the trumpet and create unusual textures, such as air sound, key clicks, harmonic gliss, mute open and close, and singing through the instrument.

Wenxin Li is a native of Chongqing, China, and is currently pursuing her PhD degree in composition at the University of Iowa, studying with David Gompper, Jean-Francois Charles and Sivan Cohen Elias. Li’s music has been featured in a variety of festivals, including Aspen Music Festival, Composers Conference, RED NOTE New Music Festival, SCI National Conference, FSC New Music Festival, National Student Electronic Music Event, and Midwest Composers Symposium. Her music has also been performed by the JACK Quartet, Ensemble Dal Niente, H2 Quartet and Accroche Note. Li received her master’s degree in composition from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and bachelor’s degree from Sichuan Conservatory of Music.
