Trumpet - Intermediate - Digital Download SKU: M0.WBM19EB Composed by William Bay. Trumpet and Bugle. Style. E-book. Mel Bay Publications - Digital Sheet Music #WBM19EB. Published by Mel Bay Publications - Digital Sheet Music (M0.WBM19EB). ISBN 9781619115835. 8.75x11.75 inches.This is a collection of 20 lyrical, contemplative trumpet solos. They may be played in a variety of settings and will enhance the ability of the trumpeter to play long, lyrical phrases. These solos are also ideal for developing a rich, broad, singing sound. I love playing them in a large room like a church sanctuary. They seem to come alive in those kind of settings. I have always loved the lyrical side of the trumpet and these pieces will appeal to both the classical and jazz trumpeter.

Trumpet - Intermediate - Digital Download SKU: M0.WBM20EB Composed by William Bay. Trumpet and Bugle. Style. E-book. Mel Bay Publications - Digital Sheet Music #WBM20EB. Published by Mel Bay Publications - Digital Sheet Music (M0.WBM20EB). ISBN 9781619116672. 8.75x11.75 inches.This book contains 30 original chants composed for solo trumpet. The pieces are lyrical in nature and may be used in a variety of settings. They work well as a prelude or call to worship or even as recital selections, concert pieces or as encores to performances. These chants require sensitivity in interpretation and phrasing, a full, rich tone and control over breathing and volume. They also serve as good daily practice pieces. I hope you enjoy these solos as much as I have in writing and performing them.

Guitar (fingerpicking) - Intermediate-Advanced - Digital Download SKU: M0.22041EB Seven Contemplative Guitar Solos Written in Free-Form Style. Composed by William Bay. Style. Contemporary. E-book and online audio. Mel Bay Publications - Digital Sheet Music #22041EB. Published by Mel Bay Publications - Digital Sheet Music (M0.22041EB). ISBN 9781619111653. 8.75x11.75 inches.Timeless Solos is a play on words. The solos in this volume contain no time signatures or bar lines. I did this because I wanted the solos to be very expressive in interpretation yet free-form in structure. The companion recording presents my interpretation of these works. You may interpret them differently and that is fine! All solos are in notation and tablature. When writing these solos I first envisioned the form as an extended cadenza. However, from my earlier trumpet playing days I recalled that, especially in the 19th century, a cadenza was a momentary break in a solo which gave the performer a chance to dazzle the audience with his or her virtuosity. These solos are not about that. Rather, they are a vehicle to give the guitarist an opportunity to move the listener with the performer's expressive ability. I also thought of these solos in the form of a chant. However, most chants are monophonic in form and these solos in various parts present a fairly lush harmonic structure. While the solos were written for a 7 string guitar, they may be played successfully on a 6 string guitar. Alternate notes for those found on the 7th string are shown in the tablature part. Also, the solo, Peace, is written in Dropped D tuning and makes little use of the 7th string pedal tones. The solos are contemplative in nature and provide ample opportunity for individual expression and interpretation. I hope you enjoy playing and performing these works.
