dc.description.abstractRoberto L. Milano’s musical output exhibits a diversity of styles and compositional genres. Most of his works are influenced by his passion for early western sacred and secular music. Milano was consistent with the use of modal sonorities and nonfunctional harmonies in combination with structures and melodic elements from the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque periods. His music is appealing to audiences and demonstrates how he combines different influences into a cohesive whole. His unpublished works for trumpet are only known by a small group of Puerto Rican musicians. This document illustrates some of the characteristics of Milano’s Dúo para trompeta y piano, Sinfonietta No. 2 for Flugelhorn and String Orchestra, and Idylls of the King for Three Trumpets. This study includes a brief biography of the composer, an overview of Milano’s music, and a musical description of these three works for trumpet. The purpose of this document is to help Roberto Milano’s music to become better known by trumpeters, other musicians, and audiences.
