Blues Concerto

Karel Husa (b. 1921) is an American composer who was born and raised in Czechoslovakia. His Concerto For Trumpet And Wind Orchestra (1973) was commissioned by two American National Band Fraternities and premiered at their Biennial convention by the National Inter-Collegiate Band. It has been arranged here for Trumpet and Piano. The Concerto consists of three movements: Intrada Intermezzo Fanfare and demands the highest level of technical proficiency from the soloist. It uses a range of mutes with influences from blues jazz and Berlioz and calls for a range of some four and a half octaves.

Full Score-The songs and dances of the Americas born in the mountains jungles rivers and plains under the shadow of pyramids and temples nourished by the winds and the ocean waves of adventur courage suffering and endurance finally grew up in the cities of the New Continent. And ironically they conquered the collective soul of the whole earth. This concerto was inspired by those pianists (Scott Joplin Art Tatum Oscar Peterson Horacio Salgan Luis Eca and many others) who changed the face of popular music in the Americas. Like the great Romantic virtuoso-composers (I think of Chopin with his mazurkas waltzes and impromptus) their ideas and their fingers became one single entity one unique form of musical expression. Movements: I. Blues II. Tango III. Carnival

This volume from the popular 'Cellissimo' series contains 37 popular recital pieces from classical to pop music. It is suitable for lessons, performances and competitions. As there is little literature for the cello in jazz and pop style, this volume has a special focus on modern styles such as blues, jazz, pop, rock, funk, folk, Latin, or tango. The selection motivates and introduces to playing techniques of pop music (slide, hard chop etc). Many pieces can be played in the 1st - 4th position, while some also use harmonics or the 5th - 7th position. Entertaining music has existed at all times, so the volume also contains arrangements of popular classics: 'Eine kleine Nachtmusik' by Mozart, 'An der schönen blauen Donau' by Johann Strauß, 'Pomp and Circumstance' by Edward Elgar, or 'The Entertainer' by Scott Joplin.
