Description

16 repertoire pieces from the golden age for trumpet in D (or standard Bb or Piccolo) and keyboard.

The sonorous, majestic and expressive qualities of baroque brass music have rarely been surpassed. This colourful collection for trumpet with simple keyboard accompaniments presents some of the finest music ever written for the instrument. The Baroque Trumpet progresses gently, the range and difficulty of the music increasing as the developing embouchure gets stronger. From pieces by Purcell, Clarke and Telemann to Fantini, Banchieri and Delalande this fresh and rewarding selection of concert repertoire is ideal for concerts and weddings.   **Trinity College London selected pieces (Trumpet, Cornet, Flugel Horn 2010): Air (Telemann) Canzona 5 (Banchieri) Sonata detta del Niccolini (Fantini)
