SUMMARY;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Musical presentation on the “History of the Trumpet in=0D=0AMecklenburg”
DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:Historian Christoph Wunnicke tells this story by tracing major=0D=0Ahistorical trends and recounting vivid anecdotes. Between the=0D=0Aindividual stories, musical pieces for trumpet, organ, and flute are=0D=0Aperformed by organist Reinhard Kotitschke, trumpeter Ulf Rust, and=0D=0Aflutist Cordula Rust.=0D=0A=0D=0AHardly any other instrument can sound as festive, solemn, and at the=0D=0Asame time piercing as the trumpet.=0D=0AThe history of the trumpet in Mecklenburg goes back a long way. Among=0D=0Athe oldest wind instruments ever found are the approximately=0D=0A3,400-year-old “Wismar Horn” and the Bronze Age lurs discovered=0D=0Anear Daberkow in 1911. Since the Middle Ages, trumpets have served as=0D=0Aa symbol of noble power. At the courts in Schwerin, Güstrow,=0D=0ALudwigslust, and Neustrelitz, trumpeters summoned the court to the=0D=0Atable, accompanied weddings and funeral processions, and lent splendor=0D=0Ato the dukes’ appearances. In Güstrow and Schwerin, there were even=0D=0Adedicated trumpeter’s chairs.=0D=0ABut the trumpet was not heard only at court. Town pipers and=0D=0Awatchtower keepers used it to signal the hours, issue warnings, and=0D=0Areport fires. Town musicians played at civilian weddings, postilions=0D=0Aannounced the arrival of the stagecoach, and military trumpeters=0D=0Aaccompanied soldiers during drills and into battle. In churches,=0D=0Atrumpets resounded alongside organs and choirs. Later, trombone=0D=0Achoirs, brass bands, and large factory orchestras shaped the musical=0D=0Alife of Mecklenburg.=0D=0AHistorian Christoph Wunnicke recounts this history through major=0D=0Ahistorical trends and vivid anecdotes. Between the individual stories,=0D=0Amusical pieces for trumpet, organ, and flute are performed by organist=0D=0AReinhard Kotitschke, trumpeter Ulf Rust, and flutist Cordula Rust.=0D=0AAfter the final note, one realizes: The trumpet was never just a=0D=0Amusical instrument. It was a signal, a symbol of authority, a=0D=0Acompanion in war and peace—a voice of Mecklenburg that could be=0D=0Aheard from afar.=0D=0A=0D=0AAdmission is free; donations are welcome.=0D=0A
