Pieces for 7 Trumpets

 
Cat # Title Grade Composer (arr.)
TRP-190 Celestial [4] Fregoso, E.

Composer: Fregoso, Eric
Number of Trumpets: 7
Key: Bb concert
Duration: 6 minutes
Difficulty: 4
Lots of exciting melodic and rhythmic interplay is showcased in this Ewazen-esque septet by an up-can-coming young composer. Less difficult then most "heavy" pieces, with the range only extending to B-flat easy-to-understand rhythms and styles. Great for teaching listening and playing together. Exciting for the audience as well.
ITG Journal, March 2020, page 70:
"...a valuable addition to the trumpet ensemble repertoire and an exciting work that can function well on an undergraduate trumpet ensemble recital or as a contest piece for an advanced high school trumpet ensemble. 'Celestial' introduces such advanced artistic and ensemble characteristics as rhythmic and melodic interplay, contrasting styles, mutes, and blending mixed instrumentation in an approachable manner."

TRP-129 Christmas Oratorio - Chorale fr. Part VI [7] Bach, J. (Millsap)

Composer: Bach, Johann Sebastian
Transcriber: Millsap, Kyle
Number of Trumpets: 7
Key: D Major concert
Duration: 3 minutes
Difficulty: 7
A beautiful transcription of of this standard Baroque show stopper. The original trumpet part is preserved with the intertwining lines beautifully juxtaposed. Sounds great. The difficulty grade of 7 is only because of the piccolo trumpet part. Otherwise it would be a grade 5. Highly recommended. The recording is by Niklaus Egg of Berne, Switzerland.
ITG Journal, October 2014, page 101:
"...this well-crafted adaptation works brilliantly...works wonderfully for teaching Baroque style to a university trumpet studio that might not normally have the opportunity to perform this work."

An excellent, rather subdued minimalistic piece for six B-flat trumpets, flugelhorn, percussion and narrator.

Accompaniment: Piano, bass, drums
Key: Eb Major concert
Duration: 3 minutes and 30 seconds
Difficulty: 5
The classic in a beautiful rendition for seven trumpets and rhythm section with solo chores going to the flugelhorn (the seventh trumpet). The parts say 'trumpet' but flugels can be used to great effect anywhere within the piece, especially at the beginning. Lead trumpet goes to e'''. Great musical shape, with beautiful lines and backgrounds.

TRP-183 Tempestas [7] Hobbs, J.

Composer: Hobbs, Joshua
Number of Trumpets: 7
Key: Eb Minor concert
Duration: 6 minutes
Difficulty: 7
A solo for B-flat trumpet (double on flugelhorn) with a six-part trumpet ensemble as accompaniment. Tempestas is the Roman goddess of storms. Hobbs was inspired by Hurricane Irma and says that this piece has the intensity to depict the storm's ferocity yet elicits as well the awe of the massive power of nature. The solo parts requires a range up to E-natural, but is otherwise not terrifically difficult. Accompaniment parts are rated 4's and 5's in difficulty. Some very interesting Harmon mute effects are employed in this piece. A really cool piece to show off your strongest player with fellow trumpeters creating the backup.
ITG Journal, June 2020, page 80:
"...a unique addition to the trumpet ensemble repertoire...well suited for a strong soloist and trumpet ensemble in collegiate or professional trumpet ensembles. The use of cup, Harmon, and plunger mutes, as well the flugelhorn in the solo part, help create a variety of colors that aid in the storytelling."

TRP-073 The Moffett-Klein Phenomenon [8] Galib, M.

Composer: Galib, Michael
Number of Trumpets: 7
Key: C Major concert
Duration: 8 minutes and 20 seconds
Difficulty: 8
The first prize winner of the 2004 ITG Composition Contest (solo trumpet w/trumpet ensemble accompaniment) and premiered at the 2004 ITG Conference in Denver, this work is written for trumpet solo and trumpet ensemble accompaniment. Very intense, even jarring 20th-century harmonies and incessant rhythms that are somehow wonderfully accessible to an audience; the piece holds everyone's almost breathless attention. Lots of fresh ideas for interplay between parts and groups, and challenging and really fun to play. Written for C trumpets, it can also be played on B-flat instruments. This recording is by the trumpet ensemble at the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music in Cincinnati, Oho (USA).

TRP-061 The Rakes of Mallow [6] Anderson, L. (Ford)

Composer: Anderson, Leroy
Arranger: Ford, Barry
Number of Trumpets: 7
Key: F Major concert
Duration: 3 minutes
Difficulty: 6
A really fun piece to rehearse and perform. An uptempo work on the light side and a great closer. Lots of scale passages and repeated melodies that transfer from part to part. Beautifully and idiomatically arranged. One of the "happiest" pieces going. Highly recommended. (No need to play the ending quite as fast as I've done on the recording).

TRP-110 Woolloomooloo Overserved [6] Haskell, J.

Composer: Haskell, Jeffrey
Number of Trumpets: 7
Accompaniment: Piano, bass, drums
Key: various
Duration: 9 minutes
Difficulty: 6
Commissioned by Ed Reid for the University of Arizona's performance at the ITG conference in Australia in 2010 (the recording is of that performance), this piece is in three movements: Getting In, Whilst There, and Recovery and Out. The first movement is reminiscent of Paris in the 30's, the second is a slow dirty blues, the third a medium up tempo swing duet. Each movement can be played separately, but it is fun to play the piece as a set. Of the work, the composer writes, "Woolloomooloo is an eastern suburb of Sydney, Australia, and the name may derive from the Aboriginal pronunciation of windmill or even place of plenty. The town, having recently gone through extensive gentrification, doesn't look like it did in the past. When it was first nicknamed "The Loo," it was a rough-and-tumble working class district of New South Wales. Filled with bars, it was often a destination of those who sought to drink on the cheap. This work describes the trip from Sydney to inside "The Loo," party time, and leaving the scene in a good mood."
