I thought some of you may want to see and hear what the Branson Trumpet Ensemble is doing lately. In preparation for a concert this Sunday, we decided to video tape one of our numbers and share it. When I arranged this number, I wanted to combine “Flight of the Bumble Bee” with “Saber Dance” and this is what I came up with. We hope you like it.
How many times have we all enjoyed George Frideric Handel’s Oratory, The Messiah and wondered if he had written it incorrectly? I would venture a guess that I may be the only one on the planet. The reason I have even pondered this possibility stems from my preparation for a solo this week at a church. Sunday is Easter Sunday and I decided to perform the aria “Rejoice Greatly, O Daughter of Zion”. After searching the internet for a suitable copy, I finally found what I was after and began practicing my part. After three attempts to get the feel…

My most recent arrangement was a wonderful composition from Mexico and I am very pleased at how it turned out.

Upon first listening to this “shortest and oldest anthem in the world” I was very disappointed. My first opinion was that it was too short, the beginning…
Sometimes you just have to stretch the boundaries.
Many times we would like to practice famous solos or duets which we knew at one time or would like to learn but because of limited strength and upper range, they are beyond our current ability. If you have the desire to play some of these beautiful solos/duets, you are in luck. I will be adding to this series as time passes and I’m sure you will find some materials which will suit your current ability. Most of these solos/duets will be lowered a third and in some cases a fourth to place the range within everyone’s ability. If you…
