With the 80's, Trythall, who had continued his activities as a concert pianist specialized in contemporary music throughout the 70's, embarked on a series of solo recitals featuring his own piano compositions. The music which he composed for these concerts, however, once again departed radically from the style of his earlier music. While retaining many of the formal ideas developed in these works, this music utilized a triadic harmonic vocabulary which, at the time, was labeled variously as "New Romantic", "Folk" or as "New Age" music. (Excerpt: Insieme, for piano, from Recital (1980)
In 1982, Trythall composed a work for piano and orchestra, Ballad, at the request of the Knoxville World's Fair.
