Given that the trumpet has a "sacred feeling" in the excerpt, it may suggest that it is part of a more composed and arranged context, possibly intended for spiritual or ceremonial purposes.
If the trumpet is playing a distinct, melodic line that adheres to a written score rather than free-form or spontaneous licks, the best description would likely be:
"soloist of composed music"
However, if the trumpet is primarily contributing to a harmonious backdrop alongside other instruments, you may consider:
"ensemble playing composed music."
Based on your description of a sacred feeling, it might lean more towards the soloist of composed music if the trumpet stands out clearly, but if it's more blended with the ensemble, then the ensemble option would be fitting. Consider the overall context to make the best choice!

Without being able to listen to the audio sample, I can provide general information about concertos. If the concerto is a well-known work, you might consider the following:
- If the music is virtuosic and expressive, it could commonly feature the violin.
- If it's characteristically lively, with a range of dynamics and chords often found in classical or romantic music, it might be the piano.
- A trombone concerto would usually have a distinct sound that features the brass.
- A harp concerto, while less common, will highlight the plucky, delicate sound of the harp.
If you have more context or can describe the sound or style, I could help narrow it down further. Otherwise, you would choose based on what instrument is most prominent in the audio.
