After nearly eighteen months of adding arrangements to my trumpetensemblemusic.com site, I thought it would be appropriate to answer an often asked question- Which is your favorite arrangement? Just as it would be impossible to name my favorite child, it would also be impossible for me to name my favorite arrangement. To narrow the field down a little from the two hundred and fifty five arrangements that I have listed on my site, I thought I would list the top three (when possible) from each of the fifteen categories. Some have been selected for their creativity; some were included because of their uniqueness and some because of the possible value to the trumpet literature.
