Timpani optional. Three movements: Maestoso; Largo; Allegro. Very colorful with lots of interplay, interests and challenges for all. Carefully edited to help with proper style and interpretation. Great for teaching the art of ensemble playing. Idiomatic and fun to play. Good program material. Note: This arrangement can be played on Bb or C trumpets. If on Bb's (do not transpose), the timpani must change the written notes from D to C and from A to G. The performance of this piece down a whole step from the original key (D major) will allow for greater accessibility for less experienced performers. The recording here is done on Bb trumpet and reflects the lower key. FURTHER NOTE: to view the video full screen to better see the music, click on the lower right hand corner of the video.
