Trumpet Solo - Level 3 - Digital Download

SKU: A0.972644

Composed by Scott Joplin. Arranged by James Siddons. Concert,Folk,Holiday,Patriotic,Ragtime. Individual part. 3 pages. James Siddons Music and Writings #3124103. Published by James Siddons Music and Writings (A0.972644).

Although published as a piano solo (1902), A Breeze from Alabama is subtitled March and Two Step and has a dedication on the cover to P. G. Lowery (Perry George Lowery, 1871-1942), World's Challenging Colored Cornetist and Band Master. Thus, A Breeze from Alabama may well have been conceived as a march for military band but published only as a piano solo. No band arrangement by Joplin is known to exist, but Joplin could have done this, as he himself was a cornetist as well as pianist, and had played cornet in bands like Lowery's many times.

        Drawing on this information, the present arrangement by James Siddons (2017) is based on the following assumptions:

1. A Breeze from Alabama originated as a march (in march-trio form) for military band.

2. The 1902 publication for piano solo by Scott Joplin is a piano reduction of that band work. The melodic lines intended for cornet solo are generally discernible in the piano reduction.

3. A setting for piano duet (or ensemble) keeps this work in the tradition of ragtime piano while also emulating the fulsome tone colors of brass instruments to a degree that a solo piano cannot do. Thus this arrangement is not a solo-and-accompaniment setting, but a setting for large ensemble with soloist. It is collaborative music, akin to a concerto.

This is the part for cornet in Bb (or trumpet). A performance also requires the piano duet score (also playable as a piano ensemble), and the full score if a conductor participates. The audio track posted here has the piano music only, and is for rehearsal by the cornet soloist. A cadenza for the cornet, composed by James Siddons, begins at measure 116 in the score and part, and at 2 mins, 44 secs in the audio recording. In the audio track, five seconds of silence begin at 2 mins, 44 secs. To practice the cadenza, press the pause button on your media player. To rehearse without playing the cadenza, simply wait out the brief silence. At 2 mins, 49 secs, the piano music resumes at measure 120 of the score or cornet part.

By Joseph Alessi, Christian Lindberg. By Arthur Willard Pryor. Arranged by Aaron Hettinga. 20th Century,Classical,Contest,Festival,Patriotic,Traditional. Score and parts. 24 pages. Aaron Hettinga #698344. Published by Aaron Hettinga (A0.1094241).

Arthur Pryor’s famous theme and variations on “The Blue Bells of Scotland� has been a showcase for trombonists with strong technique and agility for well over a century. While this work is most commonly performed as accompanied by a wind band or with piano, in this arrangement the soloist is supported by a standard brass quintet. The solo part is unchanged from Pryor’s original, though there are some minor tweaks to suggested slide positions and other notations throughout. While each of the accompanying quintet parts do feature some small technical requirements, they remain at an intermediate level where even less-experienced players should be able to pull them off. Performance suggestion: as an option, it’s recommended to utilize Cornets and Euphonium in place of the Trumpet and Trombone parts in the accompanying quintet to more faithfully emulate the sounds of the conical-bore instruments of the period and to better separate the tonality of the accompaniment from the soloist. This arrangement is a great vehicle to showcase a talented trombonist on this classic piece of standard trombone literature!

Composed by Antonio Vivaldi. Arranged by Niels-Bo Ole Johansen. Baroque,Classical,Renaissance. Score and parts. 95 pages. Gordon Cherry #6638557. Published by Gordon Cherry (A0.792812).

Antonio Vivaldi's Concerto for Two Trumpets in C with Brass Ensemble and Timpani is a rarity for the Baroque era when solos for brass instruments were almost non-existent. The valveless nascent Trumpets were very difficult to play. But as with Bach, there must have been a few brave souls who mastered the instrument and inspired the composer to write his inspired work.

As with most of Vivaldi's concertos, this one begins with a quick and sparkling movement to catch the attention of the audience and to showcase the bright tones of the solo trumpets. This is followed by a contrasting brief and languid second movement. The final movement is back to brilliant mode with quick energy and intricate passages for the soloists. (Encylopedia Britannica).

Niels-Ole Bo Johansen has created a very unique arrangement for the two solo Trumpets with Brass Ensemble and Timpani...unique in that the accompaniment instruments are almost all conical (except for the trombones who can blend nicely into that pool of round sounds). This gives the listener a sharp contrast between the brilliance of the soloists and the plush sound of the accompaniment.

The 6 1/2 minute work is appropriate for advanced performers. The instrumentation is for: 2 solo Trumpets in A, 2 Cornets in B-flat, Flugelhorn, 2 Horns in F, 3 Trombones, Euphonium, 2 Tubas, and Timpani.

These 12 tunes, among which this piece, include all difficulties faced by a trumpet player to control his instrument.

Although published as a piano solo (1902), A Breeze from Alabama is subtitled March and Two Step and has a  dedication on the cover to P. G. Lowery (Perry George Lowery, 1871-1942), World's  Challenging Colored Cornetist and Band Master. Thus, A Breeze from Alabama may well have been conceived as a march for military band  but published only as a piano solo. No band arrangement by Joplin is known to exist, but Joplin could have done this, as he himself was a  cornetist  as well as pianist, and had played cornet in bands like Lowery's many times.

        Drawing on this information, the  present arrangement by James Siddons (2017) is based on the following assumptions:

1. A Breeze from Alabama  originated as a march (in march-trio form) for military band.

2. The 1902 publication is a piano  reduction of that band work. The melodic lines intended for cornet solo are generally discernible in the piano reduction.

This piano duet part may be performed by two pianists at one piano, or two  pianists at two pianos, or four pianists at two pianos, or even six pianists at  three pianos, with or without a conductor. The cornet part may be played on trumpet. There are three score or part versions for sale:

1. The full score is for use by a conductor or instructor. An audio track (mp3, virtual sounds) is posted here.

2. The piano duet (or ensemble) score has the Primo and Secondo parts shown on facing left and right pages as is standard for piano duet music. (No audio recording.)

3. The cornet (or trumpet) part is sold separately and has a rehearsal recording posted, in which only the piano duet music is heard. This arrangement features a cadenza for cornet composed by James Siddons. The cadenza is found in measures 115-119 in the score and cornet part. In the rehearsal recording, there is five seconds of silence beginning 2 mins, 44 secs into the audio track. The music resumes at measure 120. To practice with the cadenza, press pause on your media player; to practice without the cadenza, simply wait the silence out.
