Brass Ensemble Horn,Trombone,Trumpet - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.955734 Composed by Henry Purcell. Arranged by Phil Thrift. Baroque,Contemporary. Score and parts. 21 pages. Phil Thrift #5990477. Published by Phil Thrift (A0.955734). H.P. Takes Five is a cheeky take on Henry Purcell's famous trumpet tune. Instead of 4/4 time, it's in 5/4, with a few 7/4 measures thrown in for a bit more fun! Purcell (1659–95) wrote much incidental music for plays and so-called semi-operas performed in London's theaters, and often included a trumpet tune as a signal for the next act. A trumpet was the only instrument that could be heard above the noise of the audience!
