Even without music theory, anyone can arrange music with the help of a simple yet powerful program available at no cost. Our…
In our ever-continuing struggle to gain prominence in the world of instrumental performances, I have now posted the 5th in our series entitled “The Great American Shoot Out” which compares music written for various ensembles and solo instruments to the technical ability of the Trumpet. Vivaldi composed this number (La Follia) originally for a String trio. My transcription was done for two Trumpets and a Euphonium. As you will hear, the violins were much more used to the difficult skips and the outrageous tempi. An additional problem would be the constant playing. Today we continue with our challenge as we…
One of my all-time favorite Dixieland groups was Kenny Ball And His Jazzmen. A list of their successes in the early 1960s would include the following- Midnight in Moscow, The Green Leaves of Summer, Sukiyaki, Hello Dolly and When I’m Sixty- Four.

To an average listener, the extended Clarinet solo which lasts through seven full choruses might seem excessive but to a fellow musician it has the effect of sheer amazement. The traditional Clarinet solo was recorded by Alphonse Picou and…

To illustrate the flexibility of these pieces, we have included our first offering below, recorded with several applications. Marimba Trio Sample Trombone Trio Sample Clarinet Trio Sample Full length…
