Caccia is a boisterous chase led by the soloist. As in the March, solo <br /> trumpet and orchestra are frequently in friendly competition, but in the final <br /> section they come together to drive the work to a brilliant conclusion." <br /> Paul Neebe is highly accomplished across classical music genres as a <br /> soloist, orchestral musician and chamber player. The International Trumpet <br /> Guild praises his "crystal clear sound" and "ringing articulation," and the <br /> Slovak music magazine Hudobny zivot sums up his playing in one word: <br /> "virtuosity." <br /> Neebe performs widely as a soloist across the Eastern United States and <br /> throughout Europe, where he has appeared with the Goethe Institute Cultural <br /> Program in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, Germany, as well as in Norway and <br /> Slovakia. He currently serves as principal trumpet of the Roanoke <br /> Symphony Orchestra and the Wintergreen Festival Orchestra and is the <br /> trumpet mentor of the National Music Festival in Chestertown, Maryland. <br /> Neebe has been praised for his commitment to the commissioning and <br /> recording of contemporary American works for the trumpet. Neebe's CD Te <br /> Deum (MDG 2003) includes the first of his commissions from American <br /> Composer Roger Petrich, Prayer and Epilogue, a work for trumpet and <br /> organ, premiered and recorded in Germany. His CD American Trumpet <br /> Concertos (Albany Records 2005) with the Slovak Radio Symphony <br /> Orchestra consists of all world premieres of trumpet with orchestra <br /> compositions. For this new CD, 21" Century American Trumpet Concertos, <br /> Neebe commissioned, recorded and premiered each of the compositions. <br /> Paul Neebe holds both the Bachelor and Master of Music degrees from <br /> the Juilliard School as well as a Doctor of Musical Arts degree from the <br /> Catholic University of America.
