Although the piece is not one of the most difficult it nevertheless places high musical demands on the soloist. Following an impressive orchestral opening the soloist comes to the fore with long phrases followed by more dynamic and rhythmic passages. The second movement gives evidence of extreme sensitivity andoffers the soloist the opportunity to prove that the trumpet (flugel horn) can be a stirring and emotional instrument.

after J.S. Bach's Break Forth O Beauteous Heavenly Light- Lucifer is the name for the devil or more precisely: the devil before his fall. This composition distinguishes itself by means of a grand and fierce introduction with a reflection on and introduction of the main theme which is based on the devilish tritone (three adjacent whole tones). It is a spectacular piece using some impressive effects such as a brass quartet playing off stage. Throughout the work the composers uses several sequences of Bach chorales.

It is an excellent choice for bands that like epic pieces with a broad background story and are into impressive melodic music making.
