A teacher and orchestral trumpeter, Mueller has an intimate acquaintance with orchestral repertoire for the trumpet. In Orchestral Souvenirs, he takes material for the trumpet from excerpts and longer passages, and fashions a second trumpet part from other material in the score or augmented with original writing. The result is a bit of fun, an opportunity to play and perform outside of the studio.
