Canadian composer and trumpeter Alan Matheson's Evening Fanfare for Four Trumpets is bold and reflective. It is appropriate for moderately advanced performers, not having any difficult range, endurance or technical challenges.

Here is what composer Alan Matheson says about his work:

?Evening Fanfare? was composed in 2006 for a performance I did with trumpeter/pianist Walter Martella at the Texada Island Jazz Festival. The organizers of the festival asked me and Walter to perform an opening fanfare for the evening performances up above the former quarry where the jazz festival concerts were to take place. The quarry had a remarkable echo and the piece was designed to take advantage of this feature.

I revised the fanfare in 2010 for four trumpets on the occasion of the dedication and reopening of the newly refurbished Ray Barnett Recital Hall at the University of British Columbia?s School of Music. In the four trumpet version the echo effect of the Texada Island quarry is simulated by the added trumpet parts as well as providing a richer harmonic texture. This fanfare is meant to make use of the bold colour of the trumpets in a reflective melodic setting.

These works of medium difficulty come from the estate of the trumpeter Edward Tarr, probably planned for an edition, and are now published again for the first time since the end of the 19th century, thus filling in the gap of romantic chamber music for trumpet. With works by Oskar Boehme, Anton Rubinstein, Anton Doerfeldt and others. The editor Kristin Thielemann has recorded all the pieces together with trumpeter Reinhold Friedrich and pianist Eriko Takezawa-Friedrich as demo versions. Suitable for lessons, auditions and concerts.

This unabridged arrangement of the familiar Pachelbel Canon is a showpiece for ambitious trumpet ensembles challenging performers and impressing audiences with its demands for precise rhythmic execution and careful attention to balance. Three pairs of trumpeters perform the original three violin parts and a fourth pair repeats the basso continuo. An alternate set of C trumpet parts is included for parts one to six as an option to the B-flat parts. The sound file is an actual trumpet ensemble performance and not a computer playback of the score.

A progressive course of study for the advancing jazz trumpet player. For trumpet and treble clef brasses.

Description
This purpose of The Modern Jazz Trumpet Method is to offer a well-rounded, systematic approach to practice for the aspiring jazz trumpeter. This comprehensive method is intended to supplement and enhance the great methods that solidify our fundamentals while opening our minds to the concepts of jazz trumpet playing.

The Modern Jazz Trumpet Method is a book for the woodshed, so grab your horn and head on out there!

The exercises presented in this book are intended as a stepping stone for the jazz trumpeter so that you may be able to create your own practice ideas. Many of the exercises in this book are derived from the improvised solos of Clifford Brown, Freddie Hubbard, Miles Davis, Blue Mitchell and other jazz legends. I recommend that you spend one or two weeks on each set of exercises. It is also recommended that you memorize the exercises as soon as you feel comfortable with them.

First Technical Studies for Trumpet presents 127 short exercises organized into seven study patterns that train young trumpeters to develop consistency and confidence in coordinating valve movements while maintaining tone control. The studies establish a foundation of control enabling students to master more advanced technical study materials such as Clarke's Technical Studies for Trumpet with much greater success. Only major keys up to four sharps and flats are presented and the range peaks at the sixth harmonic.

The Concone vocalise studies have been used by brass performers for many years now as a way to perfect a beautiful legato, lyrical technique and sound. The 15 Lyrical Duets for Trumpet, beautifully arranged by Matthew Mitchell are easy to easy/intermediate level and are also valuable to more experienced performers to build a singing lyrical sound.

Here is what Mr. Mitchell writes about his arrangement:

The source material for this collection are Concone?s original studies for high voice. The melodies are presented in the first trumpet part for each duet. The harmonic integrity for these duets has been preserved by using Concone?s original accompaniments as a basis for the second trumpet parts. The second trumpet parts have many similarities to Concone?s original accompaniments in regards to rhythm, melodic ideas and style.

The keys, articulations, markings and dynamics for this series of duets mirror those unutilized by J.F. Sawyer in the Brass Press Edition of Concone?s Lyrical Studies for Trumpet. The user is encouraged to experiment with their own articulations, markings and dynamics. The player may also want to take liberties with note lengths at the ends of phrases, often playing notes longer than their printed values, creating a more satisfying musical experience.

The 15 Lyrical Duets for Trumpets are great tools for teachers to use in the studio as well.

10 Latin Duets is an exciting collection of original compositions by David McKeown, arranged as duets for two Trumpets.

Each piece explores a different style and flavour of Latin music, from the Rumbas, Salsas and Mambos of Cuba, to the Sambas and Bossas of Brazil, and on to the Calypsos and Merengues of the Caribbean. Mexico is represented by the Huapango, Venezuela and Colombia by the Joropo, and Argentina and Uruguay by the Tango.

Most of these duets are ideal for players of an Intermediate standard, with two or three more suitable for Advanced Intermediate. The YouTube link above shows samples of each of these pieces played on clarinet. You can also find full performances of each of these duets elsewhere on my YouTube channel.

Petros Shoujounian, an Armenian/Canadian composer has written Twelve Duos for Trumpets based on the folksong collection of the Armenian priest Komitas, known as the founder of the Armenian national school of music and one of the pioneers of ethnomusicology. Below are comments from the composer about his inspiration in writing these Twelve Duos for Trumpets.

My interest in the collected works of Komitas's ethnographical songs was aroused when I was introduced to Bela Bartok's similar works followed by Alan Hovhaness's huge creative world. Bartok completed his project having at his disposal a large collection of ethnographic music, while Hovhannes studied the wealth of Komitas's music with great interest. It is difficult to say to what extent the Armenian underpinning of Hovhannes's works is nurtured by Komitas's musical world, but his classical interpretation of the Armenian ethnographical music created a huge interest in the listener. Needless to say, there is also Aram Katchaturian's legacy, which at its core has the ardent presence of the Armenian spirit, nurtured by Komitas's very existence.

Komitas has left a collection of about 3,000 cleaned versions of the ethnographic song and dance pieces, of which 1,700 has reaches us, about 400 of which have been activated. I believe that in those beautiful musical fragments reside the power to be revived, once we enrich them with colorful musical instruments and unbounded polyphonic imagination.

This is the motivation behind my own work and these Twelve Duos for Trumpets: to make the essence of our ethnographic music accessible through Komitas.

These Twelve Duos are appropriate for advanced performers and are written for C Trumpets, B-flat Trumpets, Cornets, B-flat Piccolo Trumpets, and Flugelhorns.

Skyfall is the dramatic theme from theJames Bond film of the same name, aswritten and sung by Adele. Thisversion is arranged as a duet for two Trumpets.

Musicians at an intermediate standard and abovewill find this ideal for formal and informal concert performances, with plentyof interest and variety in both parts. The overall performance time is around fourand a half minutes. The short audio sample is from the Clarinet and Alto Saxophone version while the full-length youtube performance is the Clarinet Duet.

Many have loved the duet arrangements found in the original collection of 12 Christmas Duets for Trumpets arranged by Kenneth Baird. Volume 2 is now available! As in the original collection, this is a delightful collection of intermediate to advanced-intermediate level duets based on traditional Christmas carols. They are challenging at times (not for beginners) without being overwhelming; at times joyful, at times uplifting, at times serene. There's even a very jazzy version of Go Tell It on the Mountain! In addition to being a joy for friends to play together, they are a great resource for teachers to play at lessons with their students, they are are suitable for informal Christmas performances, and many are appropriate for church services. Note: the duets in this collection have NOT been arranged to be fully compatible with Mr. Baird's duet collections for other instruments. Instead, these have been arranged specifically for trumpets. This collection does include the duets found in previously released Five More Christmas Duets for Trumpets by Mr. Baird. Included in Christmas Duets, Volume 2, are: Carol of the Bells, Ding Dong! Merrily on High, the First Noel, Go Tell It on the Mountain, It Came Upon a Midnight Clear, Jingle Bells, Joy to the World (a more traditional version than found in the original duet collection), We Three Kings, Angels We Have Heard on High, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, and In Dulci Jubilo (Good Christian Men Rejoice). If you are looking for simple harmonizations of Christmas Carols, this collection is not for you. If you are looking for something more, you've come to the right place.
