The rhythms are straightforward;  there are some less familiar accidentals and the arrangement covers a wide range. The overall performance time is around two and a half minutes. The short sample audio is from the Clarinet and Alto Saxophone version while the full length video on the youtube link is the arrangement for Clarinet duet. Teachers will enjoy using this arrangement as a fun way to help with ensemble skills and developing expressive playing.

The Trumpet Tune and Air was in fact written for organ, with the melody played on thetrumpet stop.  Written around 1700, for many years this piece was attributed to Henry Purcell. But more recently many have questioned whether the composer was in fact Jeremiah Clarke, organist at St Paul’s Cathedral. What is known is that the piece was written for a semi-opera called The Island Princess, and that both men contributed music to the production. In recent years this piece has become a popular wedding favourite. This full version is arranged as a duet for two Violas and the performance time is around two and a half minutes. Of course, performers, especially at weddings, may wish to abridge and shorten the arrangement. This is easily done as the different sections are self-contained and the repeat may be ignored.
