The piece has three canonic movements and is impregnated throughout by a certain popular and playful register: despite the fact that Benejam makes no musical allusion to traditional themes at any point, the rhythmic features employed from the very first to the very last beat give it a very down-to-earth, direct and likeable feel. The typical arpeggios written for brass instruments (so common in fanfares and military salutes) are used to charming effect. The majority of the solo part is developed within the instrument’s main tessitura, seeking out the higher notes only at the peaks of intensity. Despite the solo trumpet part not seeming all that difficult technically on the page, it in fact requires great control over the sound produced and precise phrasing.
