Thomas
Stevens is retired from his position as principal trumpet player with the Los Angeles
Philharmonic Orchestra, a position he held for 27 years. He was described by a European
publication, ÒBrass Bulletin,Ó as being Òundeniably one of the most important
voices in the development of the trumpet in the latter part of the 20th
century,Ó primarily for his efforts in promoting, through performance and
premiere recordings, new works for solo trumpet, as well as the publication of
many of his educational materials on the same subject. He is also a published/recorded
composer and was an active educator throughout the world including being a
faculty member at the University of Southern California, CalArts, and Music
Academy of the West.

Music of the
16th century lends itself very well to brass ensembles. This recording,
originally released on LP in 1978, features some of the best brass players
around at that time. Most of these players, including Thomas Stevens, Malcolm
McNab, Miles Anderson, Jeffrey Reynolds, and Roger Bobo have become icons of
excellence in the brass world.
