About

Nobody knows de trouble I see is a trumpet concerto by German composer Bernd Alois Zimmermann, written in 1954. It draws on the African-American spiritual of the same name and carries a sharp critique of racism and the ideologies behind World War II. The orchestra is expanded with a jazz band and Hammond organ, reflecting Zimmermann's lifelong interest in fusing free improvisation with orchestral writing.
