Assurace is an inspirational piece for trumpet sextet. It interposes fanfares and lyrical passages throughout and is a showcase for the trumpet’s brilliance and beauty. After an energetic and extended introduction, a solo trumpet states the poignant 4-bar main theme in measure 48. This theme is subsequently visited in a variety of musical settings - fast, slow, major, minor, simple and compound meter. 

After weaving through these diverse emotive settings, the piece finishes as it began - with “assurance”. That word can have several meanings, including “a positive declaration intended to inspire confidence” and “being certain in the mind.” This composition engenders such feelings and should be performed with certitude and boldness.

In the summer of 1893 Antonín Dvořák vacationed in the small city of Spillville, Iowa, as a respite from his busy conducting post in hectic New York City. Dvořák said of his family’s time in Spillville, “we like it very much here”. It was then that he composed his String Quartet No.12, reflecting the peace and beauty of the Midwestern countryside. 

This trumpet quartet arrangement is the fourth and final movement, inspired by the Czech composer’s train rides through rural America. The chugging of the train can be heard in the movement’s rhythmic energy.
