ABSTRACT

Trumpet method books have existed almost as long as the trumpet itself. From

Cesare Bendenelli collecting pedagogical information in the late 16th century, to the most

recent publications, thousands of books have been written for the trumpet. Publishers

including Carl Fisher, Belwin, Alfred, Charles Colin Music, M. Baron Company, and

Alphonse Leduc offer over 400 trumpet method books containing studies on intonation,

high-register, rhythm, orchestral excerpts, transpositions, solos, etc. With such a wealth

of material, there is not one book containing trumpet excerpts from the wind band

literature. This project seeks to fill this void by offering a compilation of 586 of the most

popular and difficult trumpet excerpts from the wind band literature. In addition to the

musical excerpts, each excerpt contains insights from some of the premier players in the

wind band field. The aforementioned insights were applied to each excerpt to give the

reader an easy-to-understand approach to learning wind band repertoire. As a result, this

dissertation will serve multiple functions in the trumpet community, including promoting

the wind band genre; teaching students important, yet neglected, works; developing

healthy practice habits; presenting a more pragmatic application of higher musical study;

and, of course, the identifying and organizing of difficult wind band literature for the

trumpet.

TRUMPET EXCERPTS FROM THE WIND BAND LITERATURE

The study of orchestral excerpts is a cornerstone of most conservatory and

university applied music lessons. In contrast, the study of important wind band literature

is not as routinely implemented, if at all. The lack of significant pedagogical resources is

partly to blame for this disparity. This document seeks to address this pedagogical

limitation.

This dissertation includes a collection of 101 carefully chosen works for wind

band. The trumpet parts to each work have been carefully evaluated and select excerpts

have been extracted to isolate the most popular and difficult passages. The result is a

compilation of 586 different trumpet excerpts from the wind band literature with

correlated practice suggestions for each.

The purpose of this dissertation is to provide trumpet players of all ability levels

with a resource to study trumpet excerpts from the wind band literature. Via a study of

the collected excerpts, trumpeters will also have the opportunity to 1) learn new

repertoire, 2) apply feedback from respected wind band players, 3) develop a greater

appreciation for wind band music, and 4) develop a greater understanding and application

of musical concepts such as style, phrasing, intonation, etc.

LIMITATIONS

This dissertation contains the following limitations:

1. The dissertation only contains passages that have been extracted from parts

marked as follows: 1st Bb trumpet, 1st C trumpet, Eb trumpet, 1st cornet,

flugelhorn, solo trumpet, backstage solo, or offstage trumpet. This limitation was
2

put in place to avoid any confusion regarding which trumpet parts would be

included in the dissertation. Section parts or parts other than 1st trumpet parts are

not intended to be included in this dissertation. As a caveat, section parts are

included for three specific passages where the sections parts were deemed

relevant to the 1st trumpet part. Parts labeled off-stage trumpet, solo trumpet, Eb

trumpet, or flugelhorn were included in this dissertation because they often

represented a unique solo moment or timbre.

2. The dissertation only contains trumpet excerpts from the wind band literature

between the years 1910 to 2005. This limitation was imposed to purposely

exclude hundreds of marches from the 19th Century and to narrow the scope of the

music selected. Furthermore, the date of 2005 was chosen to add a definitive end

to what is an ever-changing repertoire.

3. The dissertation excludes any excerpt from a march or from The Complete Sousa

Marches for Trumpet, Volumes I and II by Peter Piacquadio. Because this

extensive collection of march excerpts is already available, it seemed reasonable

to emphasize contemporary works from the wind band literature.

4. The dissertation is limited to only large works for wind band instrumentation and

excludes all chamber works of 15 or fewer parts. The instrumentation number of

15 was decided upon to eliminate hundreds of works for brass choir, double brass

quintet, and orchestral winds – thereby further defining the scope of the project.

5. The dissertation contains no orchestral transcriptions for wind band other than

those transcribed by the original composer. One purpose of this limitation is to


3

further narrow the scope of the project; however, the primary purpose is to ensure

that the dissertation only contains original works for wind band.

6. The dissertation is limited to the excerpts suggested, provided, and discussed by

the individuals who contributed. An important foundation of this project is the

inclusion of only those excerpts suggested by professionals who have extended

experience with the repertoire, thereby providing them with the opportunity to

pass on their knowledge and experience.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

To thoroughly and accurately review all trumpet literature that pertains to this

dissertation, the review of literature has been separated into four different categories;

introductory literature, orchestral literature, jazz literature, and wind band literature.

Because this dissertation only contains works for large ensemble, only large ensemble

literature was reviewed. Therefore, literature for solo and chamber trumpet is not

included.

Introductory Literature

Introductory literature is material that is aimed at beginning trumpeters. For the

purposes of this dissertation, the introductory literature reviewed adheres to the

limitations previously stated. The most important of these limitations is that the literature

be an exact representation of the original manuscript. A large portion of literature for

beginners consists of famous melodies that have been extracted and re-orchestrated, or
4

simplified, so they are more accessible to the reader. Each of the books listed in this

section contain authentic, yet approachable, works for trumpet.

Three standard books for beginners highlight the popular melodic passages by

famous composers such as Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, and Bach: Easy Classics for the

Young Trumpet Player (Spitzer, 1987), Easy Classics for Trumpet (Spitzer, 1983), and

Exceptional Classics for Trumpet (Hal Leonard, 2005). In each book, the passages

included range from a minimum of eight measures long to a maximum of thirty-two

measures long. While these books contain orchestral-based passages, they are not

substantial enough in content to be considered part of the orchestral literature.

Four additional books include longer passages from less well-known works: First

Repertoire for Trumpet (Calland, 2003), First Repertoire Pieces for Trumpet (Wastall,

1991), First Tunes and Studies for the Trumpet (Wiggins, 1993), and Seven Top Trumpet

Tunes (Humell, 1988). In each of these books, the author went to great lengths to find

authentic literature that is much more approachable by inexperienced trumpeters. These

books contain passages by composers such as George Gershwin, Aaron Copland, Anton

Dvorak, Irving Berlin, and Hoagy Carmichael. The length of the excerpts in these books

ranges from a minimum of sixteen measures to a maximum of sixty-four measures.

Hans-André Stamm’s Ten Easy Baroque Pieces (1999) is designed to provide the

young trumpeter with original melodies in their original keys. While Baroque literature is

often times extremely difficult, Stamm found literature that was very approachable.

Stamm carefully chose music from two sources: “Music for the Royal Fireworks” and

“Water Music”. Both of these collections, by George F. Handel, contain trumpet parts
5

that are easy to read, very melodic and constructed primarily of quarter notes and half

notes.

The final collection of instructional literature is made up of play-a-long books;

these books are accompanied by a cassette tape or compact disc. The recording is

typically an orchestra or band playing an accompaniment while the trumpet is featured.

The author found hundreds of play-a-long books in the trumpet repertoire; however, only

five met the criteria listed in the limitations. These books do not feature the trumpet;

rather, they incorporate the trumpet into the original composition. These books include

Baroque Play-a-long (Davies, 1994), Classical Favourites; Play-a-long for Trumpet,

(Skinow, 1996), Classical Greats; Play-a-long for Trumpet (Amsco Publications, 2006),

Classical Play-a-long for Trumpet (Vassiliev, 1992), and Playing with the Band (Hal

Leonard, 2003). These five play-a-long books differ from hundreds of other play-a-long

books because they feature actual trumpet parts. Similar to the book Ten Easy Baroque

Pieces, each of these books features popular Baroque and Classical trumpet melodies in

their original forms. Music for the Royal Fireworks, Water Music and Dances from

Terpsichore were among the popular parts used in each book.

Orchestral Literature

The orchestral canon contains numerous books that were written for the study of

orchestral trumpet playing. The books found to be relevant have been separated into three

different categories.
6

Complete Orchestral Trumpet Parts

The first category of the orchestral literature includes collections of complete and

original parts from major orchestral works. The most famous is a collection of 153

original parts that are in PDF format and published in a collection of 12 volumes titled,

The Orchestral Musicians CD-ROM Library (Hal Leonard, 2004). This collection of

works provides the reader with parts from the original Kalmus and Breitkopf & Härtel

editions of orchestral works without any emphasis on specific excerpts or commentary on

how to approach the works. A very similar work, The Trumpet Excerpt Collection on CD

Rom (Cherry, 2005), is almost an identical version of the previous CD-ROM library.

However, this collection by Gordon Cherry is only one volume and contains much fewer

works. The publisher, Musica Rara Editions, offers similar books containing the complete

works of J.S. Bach, George F. Handel, and Henry Purcell: Bach: Complete Trumpet

Repertoire (Guettler, 1971), Handel: Complete Trumpet Repertoire (Minter, 1973), and

Purcell: Complete Trumpet Repertoire (King, 1975). Other books that provide complete

parts for orchestral trumpet include: Bach For Trumpet (Gisondi, 1985), Mozart for

Trumpet (Catherine, 1998), L’histoire du Soldat (Stravinsky, 1959), Wonderful World of

Handel for Trumpet (Wiggins, 1996), and Wonderful World of Haydn for Trumpet

(Wiggins, 1997). These collections are intended to provide a library of orchestral works

for the professional orchestral trumpet player.


7

Non-Instructional Orchestral Excerpt Books

The second category of the orchestral literature consists of method books that

contain isolated excerpts for trumpet from the orchestral literature. Unlike the previous

literature reviewed, these books have isolated difficult passages and targeted specific

problem areas for trumpeters in major orchestral literature. Similar to this dissertation,

these books contain shorter passages, called excerpts, which are universally difficult for

trumpeters. Unlike this dissertation, these resources contain no means of instructing the

reader how to approach and correct difficult excerpts.

Additional orchestral literature focuses on specific composers or genres. For

example, Strauss Trumpet Excerpts for Stage Works Volumes 1 &2 (Dessau, 1987) is a

collection of the most difficult opera excerpts by Richard Strauss. Similarly, Trumpet

Orchestral Excerpts (Rossbach, 1950) contains what the author considered the ten most

popular excerpts for trumpet by Richard Strauss. Other examples include two excerpt

books for bass trumpet from the works of Richard Wagner: Wagner Bass Trumpet

Excerpts Volumes 1 & 2 (Biersack, 1973) and Euphonium and Bass Trumpet Orchestral

Excerpts (Hanlen, 1981).

Vincent Cicowicz, the famous orchestral trumpet player and teacher, is the author

of Orchestral Excerpts with Piano Accompaniment (2001) – a book of orchestral excerpts

that includes piano reductions of each orchestral passage. The publisher, De Haske, offers

a series of composer-specific orchestra excerpt books. Each of these books focuses on a

single composer: Play Bach – Eight Famous Works for Trumpet (De Haske, 1992), Play

Grieg (De Haske, 1992), Play Handel (De Haske, 1992), Play Mozart (De Haske, 1992),

and Play Puccini (De Haske, 1993).


8

Method books for piccolo trumpet could be organized in another category. In the

last 20 years, several books that teach the literature and pedagogy of piccolo trumpet

have been published. However, these books contain important orchestral excerpts from

composers such as J. S. Bach, George F. Handel, Henry Purcell, and Antonio Vivaldi.

These books include: Festive Baroque (Damrow, 1998), Art of Baroque Trumpet Playing

(Tarr, 1983), Method for Piccolo Trumpet (Webster, 1982), The Piccolo Trumpet

(Hickman, 1989), and The Piccolo Trumpet Big Book (Hickman, 2002).

In addition to the excerpt books that focus on specific composers, or instruments

in the trumpet family, there are several other books that contain a wider range of styles

and literature. These books include: Masterworks for the Trumpet (Arnold, 1985), The

Trumpet Players Studio, a Grand Collection of Solo Trumpet Parts of the Best-Known

Standard Overtures and Orchestral Selections (Gore, 1991), Orchestral Trumpeter (Van

der Roost, 1996), Great Orchestral Solos for Trumpet (Wiggins, 1997), Orchestral Test

Pieces (Lohsch, 1968), The Orchestral Trumpeter (Hering, 1977), and perhaps the most

commonly used Orchestral Excerpts for Trumpet Volumes 1 through 18 (Bartold, 1948).

Instructional Orchestral Excerpt Books

The third category of orchestral literature excerpt books is comprised of books

that contain both excerpts and commentary on how to approach this literature. This

category is the most similar to this dissertation.

Mahler Orchestral Excerpts for Trumpet Volumes 1, 2 and 3 (Sachs, 2007) each

include a combination of difficult and popular excerpts by the composer Gustav Mahler.

These three volumes are different from previously cited resources because they also

include performance notes and suggested practice routines from Michael Sachs, Principal
9

Trumpet of the Cleveland Orchestra. Two other books, Top 50 Orchestral Excerpts

(Norris, 1998) and Audition and Performance Preparation for Trumpet Orchestral

Excerpts (McGregor, 1996), share a similar structure with the book by Michael Sachs in

that both include important excerpts followed by professional insight into tempo,

phrasing, transposition, context, and style.

Other popular books in this category include: Art of the Phrase: 26 Etudes for

Trumpet (Ewald, 2001), Method for the Advanced Trumpeter (Thibaud, 1987), and

Orchestral Rhythms for Bb Trumpet (Vacchiano, 1973). Each of these books supplement

specific orchestral excerpts with commentary. The commentary is intended to address

particular aspects of trumpet playing. The book by Vacchiano addresses improper

rhythm, while the book by Ewald focuses on quality phrasing.

Phil Smith, Principal Trumpet of the New York Philharmonic, plays popular

orchestral excerpts and then discusses each one in an informal manner on the audio CD

Orchestral Excerpts for Trumpet (Smith, 1994). Before 1994, the majority of

instructional orchestral excerpt literature either had no commentary or had commentary

from unknown players. There is a significant change in the related literature after 1994.

The Phil Smith CD had such an impact that select publishers began including

commentary from well-known orchestral players. The Sachs and McGregor books are

examples of this trend.

Jazz Literature

The second most popular genre for trumpet literature is the jazz idiom. This genre

includes hundreds of individual books, methods, and articles written for the trumpet;
10

however, very few of these articles apply to this dissertation. As a limitation of research,

all improvisational material was eliminated from the review. This material was

eliminated because the efforts of this dissertation have been to present pre-existing

compositions to the trumpet community. Since improvisation is constantly changing by

definition, it was not considered to be relevant. The decision to eliminate improvisation

materials eliminated hundreds of books containing transcriptions of solos from various

artists such as Louis Armstrong, Chet Baker, Miles Davis, Clifford Brown, Lee Morgan,

and Freddie Hubbard. This limitation left a small amount of material in the jazz genre.

Nevertheless, the amount of remaining material surpasses that of all material found in the

wind band literature.

Lead Trumpet Parts From the Basie Book (Nestico, 1999), How to Play Lead

(Shaw, 2005) and Advanced Jazz Band for Trumpet (Sorenson, 2006) each include

original trumpet parts for some of the most famous original jazz compositions. The Shaw

book also includes commentary and famous shout choruses from standard jazz charts.

Other jazz resources, such as The Realbook Volumes 1, 2, 3 and 4 (Sher Music, 1975) and

The Original Fakebook (Hal Leonard, 1961), contain hundreds of jazz standards.

Wind Band Literature

To date, minimal resources are available that focus on trumpet excerpts from the

wind band literature. Hundreds of books have been authored pertaining to the history,

development, and future of wind band literature; however, none of these books provide

actual excerpts from wind band literature. Several of these books are listed in the

bibliography of this dissertation because they provide helpful background information.


11

After searching every article published by the International Trumpet Guild since

its formation in 1979, no articles that contained the words “wind band” and “excerpts”

were found. Furthermore, a search on other wind instruments produced only a project for

wind band excerpts for bassoon that was never completed. The majority of relevant

research that has been done in this field lies in three dissertations. An Annotated

Collection of Twentieth Century Wind Band Excerpts for Trumpet, by Carly Jo Lynn

Johnson (2005), is summarized via the following excerpt from her abstract:

The study emphasizes the analysis and preparation of selected excerpts by

trumpet players for both audition and performance purposes. The study

provides background information, musical analysis, practical performance

suggestions, and a select discography on excerpts taken from twenty-two

significant compositions from the wind band repertoire. … The scope of the

selected repertoire has been narrowed to works written specifically for the large

wind band medium and that have demonstrated a significant relevance to the

continued development of the wind band medium in the United States. The

excerpts included in this study were selected primarily from solo and first cornet

and trumpet parts taken from advanced repertoire. This project employs a

historical background, with an emphasis on works from the second half of the

Twentieth Century. (p.4)

The Johnson dissertation shares many limitations with this dissertation. Both dissertations

exclude chamber works, emphasize the preparation of selected excerpts, and include solo

and first cornet trumpet parts taken from the wind band repertoire. However, the Johnson

dissertation is unlike this dissertation in several key areas: 1) it only includes works from
12

the second half of the 20th century, 2) it only includes advanced literature, and 3) it

focuses primarily on historical information and musical analysis.

Anthony Kirkland’s (1997) dissertation, An Annotated Guide to Excerpts for

Trumpet and Cornet from the Wind Band Repertoire, is summarized via the following

abstract excerpt:

By surveying prominent performers and teachers, the author compiled a list of

twenty-five compositions that can be considered fundamental repertoire for the

performer preparing for symphonic band performances and auditions. All pieces

included in this study were composed for a wind ensemble or band of at least ten

players using brass, woodwinds, and percussion (or brass and woodwinds). No

compositions for brass choir or brass and percussion were considered. … The

author discusses the most challenging solos and sectional excerpts from these

compositions according to their technical and musical challenges such as

phrasing, rhythm, articulation, dynamics, intonation, and acceptable tempos. The

differences between various editions of the same composition and variances in

interpretation encountered thereby are also presented to give the student an

orientation toward what to expect in real-life situations. (p.12)

The Kirkland dissertation is the model for this dissertation. Kirkland’s dissertation

contains twenty-five of the greatest works composed for band. For each work, Kirkland is

careful to consistently use measure numbers when identifying excerpts, and he provides

great detail concerning phrasing, rhythm, articulation, intonation, and tempi.

Wind Ensemble Music for the Trumpet: An Excerpt Guide (2000), a dissertation

by William Richardson, does not contain as much theoretical information as the Johnson
13

dissertation. Rather, Richardson’s dissertation focuses on composer content and historical

information. Unlike the Kirkland dissertation, the Richardson dissertation contains little

musical terminology and only occasionally mentions measure numbers as it pertains to

trumpet passages. Richardson’s purpose is clearly stated in the dissertation abstract:

The purposes of this treatise are (1) to isolate important trumpet excerpts from

wind ensemble literature; (2) to provide a brief history and analysis of each

composer and composition in the study; (3) to offer practical advice regarding

fundamental musical elements within the passage including, but not limited to,

tempo, articulation, dynamics, and phrasing; and (4) to discuss specific

performance problems and practice techniques for each excerpt. (p.5)

As with the Johnson and Kirkland dissertations, the Richardson dissertation does not

contain any musical notation. Each of the three valuable dissertations discussed above

identify the need for trumpet excerpt books from the wind band repertoire.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROBLEM

The problem that this dissertation is meant to address is the lack of trumpet

literature related to the wind band repertoire. As stated in the Review of Literature,

significant trumpet resources are available for both the orchestral and jazz idioms. This

literature helps to 1) educate young musicians, 2) promote the genre which it represents,

3) help advanced musicians prepare for their future careers, and 4) expose all musicians

to great literature that would otherwise go unnoticed. Unfortunately, the wind band idiom

has no such representation. Though there are thousands of public schools and universities

that have wind band programs, the young musicians in those programs are provided few
14

avenues to further pursue wind band literature. In addition, music educators in those

school systems do not have any literature to use as a resource to help teach the wind band

repertoire.

Due to the lack of pedagogical literature in the wind band genre, wind bands are

at a severe disadvantage when competing with orchestral and jazz idioms for the interest

of young musicians. With pedagogical tools, such as this dissertation, young musicians

can learn and develop an appreciation for the wind band repertoire.

The lack of pedagogical literature to help prepare musicians for a career in the

wind band field is a significant problem. Many advanced musicians seek employment in

the United States Military because the United States government subsidizes wind bands

in each of the five branches of its services. The ability to win and sustain a job in a wind

band depends on many skills. Preparation and experience are among those skills;

however, the advanced musician must have a familiarity with the literature. This

dissertation will provide the advanced musician with tools necessary to win and sustain

such a job. In addition, this dissertation will help remedy each of the previously discussed

deficiencies.

METHODOLOGY

The concept of this dissertation is to provide a pedagogical tool to the wind band

and trumpet community. To address the lack of literature in the wind band repertoire, this

dissertation includes trumpet excerpts from the wind band literature in musical notation.

To provide pedagogical information, this dissertation contains instructional insights by

well-respected wind band players. To construct this pedagogical tool the following steps
15

were taken: 1) determine which music will be used, how it will be used, and why it will

be used; 2) determine who is considered a well-respected wind-player, why they are

considered a well-respected wind band player, and how they will contribute; 3) determine

the best way to research, compile, and organize the information; and 4) determine the

best way to format and present the information so that it is practical and applicable.

Identification of Music

Determining which music to use was the most challenging task. The limitations

established that no music before 1910 or after 2005 would be included and that no

chamber music or orchestral transcriptions would be considered. To select a

representative number of works from the wind band literature, the author worked closely

with several collegiate wind band conductors, including Dr. Thomas Caneva, who is also

the co-chair of this dissertation and Director of Bands at Ball State University; Dr. Steve

Davis, Director of Bands at the University of Missouri Kansas City Conservatory of

Music; Dr. Joseph Parisi, Assistant Director of Bands at the University of Missouri

Kansas City Conservatory of Music; Dr. Frank Tracz, Director of Bands at Kansas State

University; Dr. Scott Weiss, Director of Bands at the University of Kansas; and Dr.

Robert Meunier, Director of Bands at Drake University.

Each individual contributed ideas and provided a list of pieces that they

considered major works in the genre. Each work that was suggested was added to a

master-list and assigned a number on the master-list that represented how many times

that work had appeared. If a particular piece had a number of three or higher, meaning

that piece had appeared on at least three lists, that piece was chosen. At the completion of
16

this process, the list included 105 works. Two composers chose not to participate in this

project, so the final Averett Trumpet Excerpts from Wind Band Literature List

(ATEWBLL) includes 101 works for wind band.

Identification of Contributors

It was imperative to the integrity of this dissertation that performance insights

were added from well-respected wind band trumpet players. This required determining

who is considered a well-respected wind band player, why they are considered a well-

respected wind band player, and how they will contribute. United States Military bands

comprise the largest population of professional trumpet players in the country who play

wind band literature. Selecting the most respected wind band players meant going to the

most respected wind bands in this country. The following bands were chosen: The United

States Navy Band, the “President’s Own” Marine Band, “Pershing’s Own” Army Band

and The Army Field Band.

The specific wind band trumpet players who assisted were Robert Couto, Trumpet

Section leader, United States Navy Band; Ginger Turner, Trumpet Section leader, United

States Army (Field) Band; Matthew Harding, Solo Cornet, United States “President’s

Own” Marine Band; Kurt Dupuis, Trumpet Section, United States “President’s Own”

Marine Band; and Terry Bingham, Principal Trumpet, United States “Pershing’s Own”

Army Band.
17

Identification of Research Methodology and Organization

The third portion of the methodology was how to best research, compile, and

organize the results. The ATEWBLL is the primary tool in which all data is organized.

The ATEWBLL contains each musical piece selected, the composer of the piece, and the

number of excerpts selected from the piece. The selection of the excerpts was done in a

manner similar to the selection of the literature. Each trumpet player contacted was sent

music PDF files via email and was asked to present what he/she thought was a difficult or

important passage. If three or more players agreed, then that particular passage was added

to the ATEWBLL. In total, 586 excerpts were extracted from the 101 selected works. The

ATEWBLL is presented on pages 21 and 22. The number to the far right on the

ATEWBLL represents how many excerpts were used per selected work.

Each excerpt was re-notated using Sibelius 6 software. The ATEWBLL was

organized in alphabetical order by the composer’s last name. Each excerpt created was

designed to resemble the original part as closely as possible. As mentioned in the

limitations, three examples contain 2nd and 3rd trumpet parts in addition to the 1st trumpet

part. These excerpts were notated to preserve the original notation and offer important

information to the reader.

During the process of re-notating every excerpt, the author had to physically

obtain each of the 101 works for wind band. Sixty-five of the works were gathered from

the following schools: Washburn University, Ball State University, Kansas State

University, Drake University, The University of Kansas, and The University of Missouri

Kansas City. Of the remaining 36 pieces, many were modern works that are either

privately owned by publishers or designated as rental only. Twenty-two of these works


18

were gathered by contacting the composer directly. Composers, including Carter Pann,

Suzanne Grantham, Dan Welcher, Cindy McTee, Adam Gorb, and Michael Daugherty,

sent the author PDF files of the trumpet parts or a PDF file of the score. The remaining

fourteen works on the ATEWBLL were the most difficult to obtain. Each of these works

is designated rental-only from Presser Music Rentals. After some negotiation, perusal

scores were granted from Presser Music Rentals.

The final portion of the project was to make sure that there was reliable

commentary below each of the 586 excerpts. Because of the instructional and

pedagogical intentions of this dissertation, the text was essential. The text, or

commentary, was constructed using insights from well-respected trumpet players who

had already participated in the selection of the excerpts on the ATEWBLL. Each trumpet

player added insights on various aspects of excerpt preparation. Some players commented

on the musical aspects of each excerpt while others commented on required performance

skills. Moreover, some players’ commentaries were conversational, even humorous at

times, and others’ were more formal. All of the insights on each excerpt were edited to

present a more cohesive and consistent dialogue with the reader. As few edits as possible

were made to preserve the authentic insights added by each individual while also

presenting the comments in a consistent format. Ultimately, it was decided that each

excerpt should be as concise as possible and only contain a sentence or two of the most

important concepts.
19

Identification of Presentation and Format

The formatting and presentation of this dissertation is designed to be as accessible

as possible. There are never more than three excerpts per page so that the reader can

easily see each excerpt. Above the excerpt, the reader will find the name of the work,

movement number, measure numbers, tempo markings, and whatever descriptive

marking the composer may have notated. The template for the excerpts in this

dissertation is derived from combining the formatting of the Norris book and the content

of the McGregor and Sachs books discussed in the Review of Literature. The layout of

the Norris book displays the title of the piece, movement number, tempo, musical

marking, and measure numbers above each excerpt. This format is adopted to effectively

organize the information in each excerpt. In contrast, the Sachs and McGregor books

feature instructional commentary below each excerpt. This feature is adopted to keep the

commentary separated from the information listed above the excerpt.

All pieces are organized in alphabetical order by their composer’s last name. A

list of every work and coinciding page number can be found in the table of contents at the

beginning of this dissertation. In addition, there is an appendix on page 322 that lists each

piece in alphabetical order by title of work. The appendix is provided to assist readers

who may not know the composer of a specific work.

Furthermore, each work is assigned a “work number” and each excerpt is

assigned an “excerpt number”. The “work numbers” and the “excerpt numbers” are in

chronological order. These numbers are provided to help the reader reference individual

excerpts. For example, the first excerpt of the seventh piece is listed as Excerpt 7.1. In
20

addition, the excerpt numbers are used to reference commentary throughout the

dissertation.

CONCLUSION

This dissertation supplies the trumpet and wind band communities an invaluable

resource. This compilation of 586 excerpts from the wind band repertoire is by far the

most comprehensive collection of music from the wind band genre to date. The added

commentary offers rare insight into preparation and performance aspects of frequently

rehearsed literature in this country. The opportunity for musicians of all ages to emulate

the teachings of top professionals in the wind band field is an innovative development.

In addition to this dissertation, further research and material are needed in the

wind band genre. As compositions continue to be premiered, comparable pedagogical

methods should accompany this literature. Wind band music is an exciting and growing

field. Hopefully, in the future, more wind band promotional and pedagogical literature

will be developed in the trumpet community.

Excerpt 1.1
Symphony Number 3 Op. 89: Mvt. 1
1st Cornet in Bb, measures 82-97.
Lento James Barnes

Approach this excerpt with a very large and dark sound. Be prepared for the conductor to increase or
decrease the tempo.
24

Excerpt 1.2
Symphony Number 3 Op. 89: Mvt. 1
1st Cornet in Bb, measures 316-344.
Lento James Barnes

Notice the tempo stringendo at the top of the excerpt. Practice the excerpt faster than necessary to
accommodate any acceleration you may encounter. Exaggerate all articulations so that the musical line is
not lost.

Excerpt 1.3
Symphony Number 3 Op. 89: Mvt. 4
1st Cornet in Bb, measures 316-344.
Allegro James Barnes

See Excerpt 1.2 for performance instructions.


25

Designs, Images, and Textures (2)

Excerpt 2.1
Designs, Images, and Textures: 1. Oil Painting
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 32-37
Quarter note = 134 Leslie Bassett

Excerpt 2.1 is a solo. Follow the dynamics indicated to help create a musical phrase. In context, each note
change will create dissonance. Emphasize each note change to accentuate the dissonance.

Excerpt 2.2
Designs, Images, and Textures: 2. Water Color
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 7-12
Half note = 52 Leslie Bassett

The soft entrance in measure 7 of excerpt 2.2 is in unison. Practice breath attacks to achieve a subtle
entrance. If needed, pull the main tuning slide out a small amount to compensate for the use of the straight
mute.

Excerpt 2.3
Designs, Images, and Textures: 3. Pen and Ink Drawing
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 19 - 22
Quarter note = 48 Leslie Bassett

This is a solo passage. Because the solo is only a small portion of a larger melody, practice subtle entrances
and releases. This will aid in appearing into the melodic texture and disappearing into the melodic texture.
26

Excerpt 2.4
Designs, Images, and Textures: 5. Bronze Sculpture
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 12-21
Quarter note = 132 Leslie Bassett

Practice both lines of this part. Record yourself playing each line and practice playing the opposite line
along with the recording. The performers sense of voice-leading is crucial at this moment.

Excerpt 2.5
Designs, Images, and Textures: 5. Bronze Sculpture
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 54 – 75
Quarter note = 132 Leslie Bassett

Practice excerpt 2.5 with a metronome. Write in the part of the beat the sixteenth notes occur on and keep
the sixteenth-note subdivision in your head.

Excerpt 3.1
Designs, Sounds, Shapes, and Symbols: Mvt. I.
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 21 - 25
Largo Leslie Bassett

Excerpt 3.1 uses scaler lines to build intensity. The chords are often complex and dissonant. Security in
pitch is a necessity in this excerpt. To help pitch, practice buzzing and singing the pitches. Play the excerpt
on the piano to ensure that the singing and buzzing are correct.

Excerpt 3.2
Designs, Sounds, Shapes, and Symbols: Mvt. III.
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 50 - 66
Allegro Leslie Bassett

See excerpt 3.1.


28

1st Bb Cornet, measures 169 – 182
Quarter note = 90 Robert Russell Bennett

Play the “A’s” in measures 173, 174, and 175 with the third valve. This should make the tremolos easier to
play.
30

Excerpt 4.5
Suite of Old American Dances: Cake Walk
1st Bb Cornet, measures 193 - 234
Quarter note = 90 Robert Russell Bennett

Timbre, style, and volume should all be consistent in the call-and-response measures of 109 through 114.

Excerpt 4.6
Suite of Old American Dances: Schottische
1st Bb Cornet, measures 23 – 30
Quarter note = 115 Robert Russell Bennett

In a Schottische, the dotted 8th sixteenth note can be played more like double dotted 8th sixteenth note.
31

Excerpt 4.7
Suite of Old American Dances: Western One-Step
1st Bb Cornet, measures 52 - 63
Quarter note = 120 Robert Russell Bennett

In Excerpt 4.7, emphasize the articulations to create the style.

Use short note lengths and strong articulations on the off beats to emphasize the syncopated “feel”.
33

Excerpt 4.11
Suite of Old American Dances: Rag
1st Bb Cornet, measures 75 - 112
Half note = 100 Robert Russell Bennett

See Excerpt 4.10.


34

The Leaves are Falling (5)

Excerpt 5.1
The Leaves are Falling
1st Bb Cornet, measures 147 - 178
Largo Warren Benson

Control your breathing on Excerpt 5.1. Use breath attacks to make soft entrances. Do not break the melody
by breathing over the bar lines. Instead, breathe with the rest of the ensemble to ensure cohesive attacks.
35

The Passing Bell (6)

Excerpt 6.1
The Passing Bell
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 16 - 32
Quarter note = 48 - 52 Warren Benson

note you are not playing.

Excerpt 6.2
The Passing Bell
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 78 - 87
Quarter note = 60 Warren Benson

In Excerpt 6.2, use a soft mute that blends well and has reasonably accurate pitch.
36

Excerpt 6.3
The Passing Bell
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 118 - 138
Quarter note = 40 Warren Benson

Be accurate with the sixteenth notes. Do not play them as slow as eighth notes or crunch them together like

trumpet is also advised.
38

Radiant Joy (8)

Excerpt 8.1
Radiant Joy
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 30 - 35
Quarter note = 126 Steve Bryant

Excerpt 8.1 is in unison with the first alto saxophone. Listen to the first alto saxophone to unify style,
articulation, and intonation.

Excerpt 8.2
Radiant Joy
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 54 - 56
Quarter note = 126 Steve Bryant

Excerpt 8.2 is rarely ever played loud enough. Play a true fortissimo.

Quarter note = 126 Steve Bryant

See Excerpt 8.1.

Excerpt 8.4
Radiant Joy
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 144 - 156
Quarter note = 126 Steve Bryant

In measures 144 and 148, the trumpet section has different individual rhythms that build a larger composite
rhythm. Work on these measures in a sectional and be prepared.
40

Whatsoever Things (9)

Excerpt 9.1
Whatsoever Things
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 30 - 50
Quarter note = 78 Mark Camphouse

Excerpt 9.1 contains multiple intervals that are difficult to hear. Practice singing the pitches and buzzing
the pitches on the mouthpiece.

Excerpt 9.2
Whatsoever Things
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 51 - 59
Quarter note = 78 Mark Camphouse

Practice the rhythm of Excerpt 9.2 by playing the excerpt on one pitch. When the rhythm is mastered, add
in the written pitches.
41

Excerpt 9.3
Whatsoever Things
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 78 - 87
Quarter note = 105 Mark Camphouse

Due to the high register demands of Excerpt 9.3, practice this excerpt down an octave.
42

Variations on a Korean Folk Song (10)

Excerpt 10.1
Variations on a Korean Folk Song
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 48 - 52
Quarter note = 132 John Barnes Chance

The “C” natural in measure 52 should be played with the 2nd and 3rd valves depressed. This will create an
easy pattern to execute.

Excerpt 10.2
Variations on a Korean Folk Song
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 58 - 66
Quarter note = 132 John Barnes Chance

See Excerpt 10.1.

1st Bb Trumpet, measures 124 - 140
Quarter note = 144 John Barnes Chance

Play Excerpt 10.5 as two eight-bar phrases. Play across the bar lines and breathe only in measure 131.

Symphonic Suite (11)

Excerpt 11.1
Symphonic Suite: March
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 49 - 64
Allegro Vivo William Clifton

The dynamic in Excerpt 11.1 should be played louder than piano because it is a solo.
45

Excerpt 11.2
Symphonic Suite: March
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 98 - 99
Allegro Vivo William Clifton

The term Ossia means optional. If Excerpt 11.2 is too difficult to play well, do not play it.

Excerpt 11.3
Symphonic Suite: March
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 105 - 115
Allegro Vivo William Clifton

See Excerpt 11.2

Excerpt 11.4

47

Arctic Dreams (12)

Excerpt 12.1
Arctic Dreams: Mvt. 2
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 97 - 111
Allegro Michael Colgrass

On the forte-pianos, do not try and decrescendo. Instead, play harder attacks. A “Bb” piccolo trumpet is
recommended.

Excerpt 12.2
Arctic Dreams: Mvt. 3
1st Bb Trumpet, measure 130
Andante Michael Colgrass

Emphasize each note of the groupings. This will create the desired effect.
48

Excerpt 12.3
Arctic Dreams: Mvt. 3
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 137 - 141
Largo Michael Colgrass

Begin subdividing the beat into triplets on beat one of measure 137. In measure 141, play the notes in the
order they are written until the conductor cues the next measure.

Excerpt 12.4
Arctic Dreams: Mvt. 3
1st Bb Trumpet, measure 158
Free time Michael Colgrass

Excerpt 12.4 consists of three separate ideas. Put space between each idea.
49

Create the hemiola effect by replacing the forte-pianos with hard accents.

Excerpt 12.8
Arctic Dreams: Mvt. 7
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 514 – 519
Allegro Michael Colgrass

Do not play this section. It is doubled in all the other trumpet parts. Resting in measures 514 through 519
will add endurance later in the work.

Excerpt 12.9
Arctic Dreams: Mvt. 7
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 547 – 561
Allegro Michael Colgrass

Practice Excerpt 12.9 without the grace notes and without the ties. Add the grace notes and ties when the

Allegro Michael Colgrass

Use a “Bb” piccolo trumpet in Excerpt 12.10.

Déjà vu (13)

Excerpt 13.1
Déjà vu
1st Bb Trumpet, measure 68
Lento Michael Colgrass

Practice Excerpt 13.1 by substituting one eighth note for every two sixteenth notes. When the intervals are
learned, add the sixteenth notes.

Excerpt 13.2
Déjà vu
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 73 -74
Lento Michael Colgrass

See Excerpt 13.1.


52

Excerpt 13.3
Déjà vu
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 144 – 162
Andante Michael Colgrass

Play Excerpt 13.3 using a Harmon mute with the stem extended. For better pitch, use a quality Harmon
mute such as a Jo Ral.

Excerpt 13.4
Déjà vu
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 171i – 171w
Andante Michael Colgrass

Practice Excerpt 13.4 down an octave. An “Eb”, “C”, or piccolo trumpet may be better suited for this
excerpt. Try each horn and decide which is best suited for the excerpt.
53

Excerpt 13.5
Déjà vu
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 180 - 181
Andante Michael Colgrass

Simplify measure 181 by playing a rushed set of sixteenth notes.

Urban Requiem (14)

Excerpt 14.1
Urban Requiem
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 153 – 154
Allegro Michael Colgrass

Start the trill of excerpt 14.1 on the written pitch. Use short trills. Do not trill through the note.

Excerpt 14.2
Urban Requiem
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 201 – 211
Allegro Michael Colgrass

Use a “Bb” piccolo trumpet for Excerpt 14.2. Only play a forte dynamic. The register will produce most of
the volume.
54

Excerpt 14.3
Urban Requiem
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 371 - 374
Allegro Michael Colgrass

Use plenty of time in the timed measure. Do not rush. Rushing will make the excerpt sound sloppy.

Excerpt 14.4
Urban Requiem
1st Bb Trumpet, measure 386
Free time Michael Colgrass

Play Excerpt 14.4 very slowly. Do not rush.

Excerpt 14.5
Urban Requiem
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 519 – 520
Allegro Michael Colgrass

Depress the valves halfway to create the slide effect between notes.
55

Excerpt 14.6
Urban Requiem

Keep a very focused and centered sound below the staff. Do not play too loud.

Excerpt 15.2
Winds of Nagual: The Desert
1st Bb Cornet, measures 117 – 125
Largo Michael Colgrass

Focus on rhythm and subdivide. Counting in three-four time will help the hemiola “feel”.

Excerpt 15.3
Winds of Nagual: The Gait of Power
1st and 2nd Bb Trumpets, measures 288 - 296
Andante Michael Colgrass

Excerpt 15.3 is an agogic acceleration. Practice with a metronome to ensure that only the rhythm
accelerates and not the tempo.
57

Excerpt 15.4
Winds of Nagual: Asking Twilight for Calmness and Power
Solo 1st Bb Trumpet, measures 313 – 317
Largo Michael Colgrass

Practice Excerpt 15.4 by playing the rhythms on one note. When the rhythms are comfortable, play the

Emblems (16)

Excerpt 16.1
Emblems
1st Bb Cornets, measures 13 – 15
Quarter note = 72 Aaron Copland

Practice Excerpt 16.1 with a light articulation. The light articulation will keep the music from dragging and
falling behind.

Excerpt 16.2
Emblems
1st Bb Cornets, measures 45 - 56
Quarter note = 72 Aaron Copland

Excerpt 16.2 contains two short solos. Do not neglect the brief solo.

Excerpt 16.10
Emblems
1st Bb Cornets, measures 305 - 315

Although the dynamic marking is fortissimo, play Excerpt 16.10 very light and lyrical.
62

Excerpt 16.11
Emblems
1st Bb Cornets, measures 316 - 321
Quarter note = 72 Aaron Copland

Use a very soft fiber mute for Excerpt 16.11.

Excerpt 16.12
Emblems
1st Bb Cornets, measures 323 - 335
Quarter note = 72 Aaron Copland

See Excerpt 16.5.

Excerpt 16.13
Emblems
1st Bb Cornets, measures 363 - 366
Quarter note = 60 Aaron Copland

Subdivide using the eighth note pulse. This is the only way to accurately place the thirty-second notes.
63

Outdoor Overture (17)

Excerpt 17.1
Outdoor Overture
1st Bb trumpet, measures 16 -34
Quarter note = 76 Aaron Copland

Practice singing and conducting Excerpt 17.1. Play accurate quarter note triplet subdivisions in measure 27,
28 and 29. A “C” trumpet is often used to perform this excerpt.
64

Gazebo Dances (18)

Excerpt 18.1
Gazebo Dances: Overture
1st Bb trumpet, measures 30 -36
Quarter note = 138 John Corigliano

Trill the “A” natural in measure 30 of Excerpt 18.1 up to a “B” natural. In measure 32, place the “A” grace
note on the downbeat.

Excerpt 18.2
Gazebo Dances: Overture
1st Bb trumpet, measures 115 -122
Quarter note = 138 John Corigliano

Trill the “G” natural in measure 116 of Excerpt 18.2 up to an “A” natural. In measure 118, place the “A”
grace note on the downbeat.

Excerpt 18.3
Gazebo Dances: Waltz
1st Bb trumpet, measures 1 -8
Dotted half note = 66 John Corigliano

Like most waltzes, Excerpt 18.3 should be practiced and performed in one.
65

Excerpt 18.4
Gazebo Dances: Waltz
1st Bb trumpet, measures 43 - 55
Dotted half note = 66 John Corigliano

Excerpt 18.4 is an uneven waltz in five-four. The downbeats should be emphasized to highlight the five-
four time.

Excerpt 18.5
Gazebo Dances: Adagio
1st Bb trumpet, measures 15 - 24
Quarter note = 60 John Corigliano

Unlike Excerpt 18.4, do not highlight the meter in Excerpt 18.5.


66

Excerpt 18.6
Gazebo Dances: Tarantella
1st Bb trumpet, measures 43 - 55
Dotted Quarter note = 138-144 John Corigliano

As with Excerpt 18.4, use accents on one and two to emphasize the meter.
67

Sinfonietta (19)

Excerpt 19.1
Sinfonietta: Introduction and Rondo
Backstage trumpets, measures 8 – 40
Allegro Ingolf Dahl
68

Excerpt 19.1 is an offstage trumpet part. The volume will need to be louder than written and the pitch will
need to be adjusted to accommodate for the distance.

Excerpt 19.2
Sinfonietta: Nocturno Pastorale
1st Bb trumpet, measures 92 – 97
Lento Ingolf Dahl

Subdivide the beat into eighth notes beginning with the first beat of measure 92.
69

Excerpt 19.3
Sinfonietta: Dance Variations

Bells for Stokowski (20)

Excerpt 20.1
Bells for Stokowski
1st Bb trumpet, measures 20 – 52
Quarter note = 82 Michael Daugherty

Written “A’s” and “D’s”, in Excerpt 20.1, are in unison in the trumpet section. The fortissimos occur at
different times and are meant to create an effect. Do not overplay the fortissimos. A “C” trumpet is a very
good option for this work.
71

Excerpt 20.2
Bells for Stokowski
1st Bb trumpet, measures 163 – 179
Quarter note = 120 Michael Daugherty

Practice Excerpt 20.2 both single-tongued and double-tongued.

Excerpt 20.3
Bells for Stokowski
1st Bb trumpet, measures 196 – 204
Quarter note = 160 Michael Daugherty

Letter “O” is the beginning of a quick tempo change. Because an organ enters, the forte at letter “O” can be
played much louder.
72

Excerpt 20.4
Bells for Stokowski
1st Bb trumpet, measures 214 – 229
Quarter note = 104 Michael Daugherty

Do not compress the thirty-second notes in Excerpt 20.4.

Excerpt 20.5
Bells for Stokowski
1st Bb trumpet, measures 257 – 264
Quarter note = 104 Michael Daugherty

Observe the slurs and accents in Excerpt 20.5. This will create a “jazzy” style.
73

Excerpt 20.6
Bells for Stokowski
1st Bb trumpet, measures 342 – 345
Quarter note = 132 Michael Daugherty

In Excerpt 20.6, the trumpet part only represents one color of the ensemble. Although it is easy to play
extremely loud in this register, do not play too loud.

Excerpt 20.7
Bells for Stokowski
1st Bb trumpet, measures 361 – 368
Quarter note = 120 Michael Daugherty

Practice Excerpt 20.7 with a slow double-tongue. Clarity and rhythmic accuracy are more important than
volume.
74

Excerpt 20.8
Bells for Stokowski
1st Bb trumpet, measures 361 – 368
Quarter note = 120 Michael Daugherty

A “C” trumpet is a very good option for Excerpt 20.8

Niagara Falls (21)

Excerpt 21.1
Niagara Falls
1st C trumpet, measures 28 – 30
Quarter note = 96 Michael Daugherty

Practice Excerpt 21.1 with a metronome. Use the eighth note as the beat. Excerpt 21.2 is the same passage
written for “Bb” trumpet.

Excerpt 21.2
Niagara Falls
1st Bb trumpet, measures 28 – 30
Quarter note = 96 Michael Daugherty

See Excerpt 21.1.


75

Excerpt 21.3
Niagara Falls
1st C trumpet, measures 46 – 55
Quarter note = 96 Michael Daugherty

Excerpt 21.3 requires a plunger. When using a plunger, focus on the release. Place the releasing “waah”
sound directly on the "and" of the beat.

Excerpt 21.4
Niagara Falls
1st Bb trumpet, measures 46 – 55
Quarter note = 96 Michael Daugherty

See Excerpt 21.3.


76

Excerpt 21.5
Niagara Falls
1st C trumpet, measures 72 – 77
Quarter note = 96 Michael Daugherty

Create the appropriate effect in Excerpt 21.5 by putting space in beat four of measure 72 and 76.

Excerpt 21.6
Niagara Falls
1st Bb trumpet, measures 72 – 77
Quarter note = 96 Michael Daugherty

See Excerpt 21.5.

Excerpt 21.7
Niagara Falls
1st C trumpet, measures 121 - 125
Quarter note = 84 Michael Daugherty

Do not be late off of beat two in measure 121.


77

Excerpt 21.8
Niagara Falls
1st Bb trumpet, measures 121 - 125
Quarter note = 84 Michael Daugherty

See Excerpt 21.7.

Excerpt 21.9
Niagara Falls
1st C trumpet, measures 129 - 130
Quarter note = 84 Michael Daugherty

At the beginning of measure 129, set the embouchure for the “C” above the staff.

Excerpt 21.10
Niagara Falls
1st Bb trumpet, measures 129 - 130
Quarter note = 84 Michael Daugherty

See Excerpt 21.9.


78

Excerpt 21.11
Niagara Falls
1st C trumpet, measures 193 - 200

Exaggerate the fp’s in Excerpt 21.11.

Excerpt 21.12
Niagara Falls
1st Bb trumpet, measures 193 - 200

See Excerpt 21.11.


79

Excerpt 21.13
Niagara Falls
1st C trumpet, measures 252 - 265
Quarter note = 80 Michael Daugherty

Practice Excerpt 21.13 by playing it through several times in a row. If this exercise is too tiring, take a
break when needed.

Excerpt 21.14
Niagara Falls
1st Bb trumpet, measures 252 – 265
Quarter note = 80 Michael Daugherty

See Excerpt 21.13.

Raise the Roof (22)

Excerpt 22.1
Raise the Roof
1st C trumpet, measures 97 – 129
Quarter note = 120 Michael Daugherty

Play Excerpt 22.1 extremely loud so that the Harmon mute will be heard. Intonation will be quite different
using a Harmon mute with the stem half-out. Use a tuner to fine-tune each note of excerpt 22.1.

Excerpt 22.2
Raise the Roof
1st C trumpet, measures 137 – 141
Quarter note = 120 Michael Daugherty

Like Excerpt 22.1, use a tuner to fine-tune the straight mute.


81

Excerpt 22.3
Raise the Roof
1st C trumpet, measures 221 – 225
Quarter note = 176 Michael Daugherty

In Excerpt 22.3, the embouchure should be set for the “A” above the staff. Do not change this setting for
the duration of Excerpt 22.3.

Excerpt 22.4
Raise the Roof
1st C trumpet, measures 226 – 240
Quarter note = 88 Michael Daugherty

A “lead” trumpet sound is very appropriate for Excerpt 22.4.


82

Excerpt 22.5
Raise the Roof
1st C trumpet, measures 256 – 262
Quarter note = 88 Michael Daugherty

Accent the “Bb’s” in Excerpt 22.5. Play the eighth notes in measures 261 and 262 very long.

Excerpt 22.6
Raise the Roof
1st C trumpet, measures 420 – 429
Quarter note = 132 Michael Daugherty

Practice Excerpt 22.6 very slowly with a metronome.


83

Excerpt 22.7
Raise the Roof
1st C trumpet, measures 435 – 442
Quarter note = 132 Michael Daugherty

See Excerpt 22.6.

The hardest part of this excerpt is the section at bar 17. I use a C trumpet to help make this easier. If you still struggle,
you may want to use a B$ piccolo trumpet. It creates a very compact and icy sound which is very fitting.

Part: Bb Trumpet 1
Measures: 120-132

Bars 120 through 123 are very percussive and should be played as such. Keep the notes very short and tongue with lots
of front to the note. In measures 124 through 132, play the melody in a sustained way but keep lots of front on the note.

This is the first of many prominent trumpet solos in Lincolnshire Posy. This is the melody and it should be played
short and detached. Although the notes are short, don't rush. Play the dotted quarter notes full value. This will
help keep from rushing. Use a darker more cornet-type sound. Don't play heavy and use a faster, more British,
vibrato.

This is one of the most beautiful trumpet solos in all of the wind band literature. Interpret the dynamics loosely.
Be musical and follow the conductor. He will give you direction with tempo and volume. Take a big breath before
you enter and don't breathe between bars 21 and 22. Also, try and not take a breath between bars 24 and 25. This
is very difficult, especially if you are asked to crescendo quite a bit. However, the affect is very lovely.

Composer: Donald Grantham
Part: Trumpet in Bb 1

Tempo: Very driving and rhythmic ($ = 104)

This excerpt is very difficult due to a large amount of wide interval leaps. Practice the intervals at a slow tempo and
keep the air moving. Practice flutter-tonguing to make sure the air is constantly moving. As for the shake, either do a
real shake, where you shake the horn, or a lip trill. You may find that 3rd valve makes the shake easier.

Part: Trumpet 1 in C
Measures: 398-407
Tempo: Meno mosso (& = 96)

This excerpt looks very hard!! However, this is not as hard as it looks. The style is a blues/burlesque. Grantham has
notated the style with triplets. Each sixteenth note is just a late(?) and in the jazz style. Practice this excerpt with the
eighth note getting the beat on a metronome then just swing. It is not as hard as it looks. Finally, in measure 404 do
not sound bad trying to be a hero.

PracticePart:
Excerpt 44.1
1st Cornet with a variety of different sounds,
in Bb dynamics, and articulations.
Measures: 25-40
Tempo: n/a

This is a very famous excerpt containing the primary melody of Holst's First Suite in a very disjunct and seperated way.
measures 25 through the downbeat of 30 should be played very lightly and with lilt. Measure 30 through 32 should all
lead into the melody in bar 33. Use a crescendo and/or countinuous air to help build energy into this climax. At 33,
focus on keeping a warm, round cornet-type sound while playing louder and heavier.
Note: While the suggestions are fairly standard, practice the excerpt with a variety of different sounds and articulations.
Different conductors may ask for different things so be prepared!

Listening is key! This excerpt is a unison passage with the oboe. Often times, the trumpet is far away from the oboe

Watch for this passage to be conducted in two. Thinking in two help to give the player a better idea of prasing and helps
to avoid "choppy" playing. This is indeed a solo so don't be shy. Play with a very open, beautiful cornet-style sound.

Subdivide Excerpt
Composer: 53.7
Gordon Jacobusing the eighth note as the pulse.
Part: 1st Bb Cornet
Measures: 21-36
Tempo: Con moto

The hardest part of this excerpt is playing measure 24 clearly and playing measures 29 and 30 in time. For the latter,
don't be late! The tendency is to wait too long. Subdivide into eighth notes and play each entrance on the "ands" of
the eighth notes.

Part: 1st Bb Cornet
Measures: 4-15
Tempo: Tempo moderato

Watch intonation! I use a breath attack to sneak in very softly. I also keep the 3rd valve slide out before I begin so
there is not an abrupt movement. This does neet to be very quiet, however, keep a beautiful, focused sound.

This passage is at the end of a very demanding movement. Be sure to play the melody with a nice big sound at

Measures: 1-11
Tempo: Allegro guisto

This is the opening of the 3rd movement of William Latham's "Three Chorale Preludes". This opening needs to be an
exciting, upbeat, and heroic fanfar. the movement is in two making for a very tricky excerpt. Begin by practing this
excerpt very slowly. When you feel confident with the pitches and rhythn, start to speed up the excerpt. I recommend
double-tonguing all eighth notes at a very slow tempo to develop accuracy. On a side note, many trumpeters prefer

This is a lightly played melody with a lot of bounce. Milhaud explores a lot of jazz harmonies so do not be afraid to
let the 6 swing a little bit. Like always, this will be subject to the conductor.

This is a tricky excerpt! Practice it, once again, like the first excerpt. Use a metronome and keep the quarter note,
or eighth note, as the pulse. Also, practice the grace notes both before the beat and on the beat. The conductor may
ask for either so be prepared.

Part: Trumpet
Measures: 1-35
Tempo: Slowly

This is a beautiful solo in the middle of a multimovement work for band. Play this solo in a Dolce, or sweet, way.
Use lots of rubato and a little bit of vibrato. Strive to create a "line" at all times. Thick horzontally at all times, never
vertically. Also, use a piano and buzz your mouthpiece to ensure that you hear every pitch properly. This will help
you play the solo very sweetly.

Persichetti

Measures: 15-17

This is a very difficult passage. Persichetti's Parable is a series of twelve-tone rows passed around the band.
This is the trumpet's turn to play the row. It is crucial that the correct notes are played to retain the intgrity of
the row. Slow the excerpt down and work out the pitches in time. Use flutter-tonguing on beat one at number 16.
Some players advise using dashes to identify larger beats.

In Excerpt
Part: 77.3, use a very loud metal mute. Play
1st Cornet each marcato very short and with a strong attack.
Measures: 43-59
Tempo: Allegro Molto

As with the previous two excerpts, this excerpt must have near perfect pitch. Since Schoenberg was a serialist, his
music is built upon 12-tone rows. Failure to accurately play your pitch at the right time will damage the overall
aesthetic. Also, observe the very aggressive articulation markings. Expressionists, such as Schoenberg, often wanted
to move or offend their audience. Such markings are to be taken literally and played in a viceral manner.

Play the selected pitches at "D" in that order. Each pitch is a little more than a second each. Use good judgement.
At "E", you must whistle. Be enthusiastic and positive, contribute to the ensemble by whistling the same as you

Joseph Schwantner
Part: Trumpet 1 (in C)
Measures: 69-80
Tempo: # = 132

Practice this excerpt by playing each group of four sixteenth notes as a group of two eighth notes. If you are doing this
correctly, then the notes change with the pitches. Be sure to ephasize the accents that occur every third group of
sixteenths. This will bring out the hemiola which is the desired effect.

Once again, scale-line balance is very important. Higher notes are usually more audible so make sure you play the lower
notes a bit louder so the musical line sounds even. This is especially important when playing the octave B"'s.

Do not underestimate this excerpt because it consists primarily of half notes. Spend time buzzing the mouthpiece
and playing the pitches on a piano. This will help with pitch and phrasing. Also, make sure you watch the
conductor for time. There will likely be a great deal of rubato. Finally, pay close attention to the dynamics.
Always strive to blend with the ensemble and never over balance.

Take note of the composer's direction "With Energy". Do not drag and do not lose time. Practice the excerpt faster
than you think you may go just to be safe. Also, pay close attention to the articulations. This will help create the

To ensure that the low “A’s” are heard, play them at a fortissimo volume.
Composer: Frank Ticheli
Part: Bb Trumpet 1
Measures: 140-147
Tempo: With energy ($ = 160-168)

Again, this excerpt is fast. Be sure to start with a nice full volume on the low A's so they are not lost. The hardest
measure is bar 167. This is a hemiola. Although it looks tricky, it is the same rhythm four time in a row. Practice this
and lead the section.

Composer: it is important
Ticheli to emphasize the hemiola created by the dotted quarter note.
Part: Bb Trumpet 1
Measures: 392-431
Tempo: ($ = 160-168)

The first four bars of this excerpt is another hemiola. First, a half not hemiola over two bars then a dotted quarter note
hemiola over the next two bars. Make sure the audience can hear both hemiolas. At 402, play with a very large and
full sound. Practice placing the grace note both on the beat and off the beat. At 417, bring out the 6 hemiola.

louder as the line descends. This will make the line sound more even.

Bb Trumpet 1 part should be played if the written part is too difficult.
Measures: 58-84
Tempo: Lively ("# = 120)

Be aware of the meter at bar 59. Play the solo at 59 with a nice, full sound. I recommend using a metal st. mute,
preferably a trumcor. At measure 70, spend time learning the pitches. I recommend solfeg or mouthpiece buzzing.
Finally, at bar 79, don't be afraid to play the ossia part. Remember, sound and musicality are always the first priority.

This excerpt is tricky due to the meter changes. In bars 173 and 174, be sure and ask the conductor how he is going to
"group" the beats. More than likely the grouping will be 3+2+2 but always double-check with the conductor. At 175,

Dan Welcher 94.7 is a notated form of swing.
Part: Bb Trumpet 1
Measures: 231-256
Tempo: #$ = 89

Measures 232 through 251 are basically dictated swing. Place the accent where it is written and there will not be
any problems. Pay close attention to the rhythmic change in bar 252 and be sure to get out of the swing feel. Also,
pay close attention to dynamics throughout.

Although the composer notates "pealing" do not go overboard. Play with a symphonic sound and a little bit of edge.
Also, I leave out bar 274 so I can keep my embouchure set for the "D" above the staff. 274 is double so it is not a
problem.

simply accelerate your multiple tonguing into bar 76. Do not go too fast, rather, create a nice even accelerando.

This excerpt is not as difficult as it seems. Measure 64 is simply an E% major scale. The bend between measures 66
and 67 can be created different ways. The note can be lipped down, however, if you are afraid of falling off the note
you can use a half-valve to bend the note down. Another option would be to play the C with the 2nd and 3rd valves and
to use the 3rd valve slide to bend the pitch.

For Ralph Vaughan Williams' English Folk Song Suite, rhythm and style are crucial. Practice singing and conducting
the excerpt with a metronome. Pay special attention not to rush the staccato eighth notes in the tutti section. A
little emphasis on beat one, as well as leaning on the first of every sixteenth note grouping, will help plant the time.
