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
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.

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
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

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.

Three standard books for beginners highlight the popular melodic passages by
famous composers such as Mozart, Haydn, Beethoven, and Bach: Easy Classics for the

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

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

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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Vincent Cicowicz, the famous orchestral trumpet player and teacher, is the author
that includes piano reductions of each orchestral passage. The publisher, De Haske, offers
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),
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 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).
that contain both excerpts and commentary on how to approach this literature. This
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,
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

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
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
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
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.
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
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

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.
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

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

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

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
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.

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

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

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

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
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
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.

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,
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
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
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

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
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
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.

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
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

Excerpt 4.1
Suite of Old American Dances: Cake Walk
1st Bb Cornet, measures 38 - 54
Quarter note = 90 Robert Russell Bennett
The composer has created a Cake Walk style using rhythms and articulations. Do not push the tempo or
swing the rhythms; rather, carefully play the style that is dictated on the page.
Excerpt 4.2
Suite of Old American Dances: Cake Walk
1st Bb Cornet, measures 66 - 99
Quarter note = 90 Robert Russell Bennett
Excerpt 4.3
Suite of Old American Dances: Cake Walk
1st Bb Cornet, measures 146 - 162

Observe all articulations Excerpt 4.3. Be sure to play the notes in measures 157, 158, 159, and 160 very
long.
Excerpt 4.4
Suite of Old American Dances: Cake Walk
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.

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

the volume.
54
Excerpt 14.3
Urban Requiem
1st Bb Trumpet, measures 371 - 374

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

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.

Excerpt 18.4
Gazebo Dances: Waltz

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
Excerpt 20.3
Bells for Stokowski
1st Bb trumpet, measures 196 – 204

played much louder.
72
Excerpt 20.4
Bells for Stokowski
1st Bb trumpet, measures 214 – 229
Quarter note = 104 Michael Daugherty
Excerpt 20.5
Bells for Stokowski

extremely loud in this register, do not play too loud.
Excerpt 20.7
Bells for Stokowski
1st Bb trumpet, measures 361 – 368

the hardest part. Concentrate on the "D#" before the "C" so you can hear the octave.

As with a lot of Gillingham, the music is very rhythmical. Make sure to create drive and pulse. Do this by moving
the line forward. Use articulations and volume to help create energy. In bar 21, crescendo down to the B or the line
will not be heard.

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 will create a bit of decay on most notes which is desired.

Observe the composer's intent for this excerpt. Snarly! Use a hard articulations and lots of volume. With all the
accidentals make sure you hear the pitches. Practice singing and buzzing them before you play. Also, make sure
you are subdividing eight note triplets over quarter note and half note triplets. This will give you accurate time.

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.

excerpt on B$ trumpet, however, the conductor may want flugelhorn, cornet, or something else. This excerpt is a
combination of two and three. You will want to consult with the conductor and find out the combinations of twos
and threes in this excerpt. Finally, this excerpt is chamber music, work with other musicians to create music.

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.

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!

This "love song" is a very mysterious and dark melody. Occuring in a minor key, this excerpt is a great solo to show
off sound and musicality. Take big breaths to avoid breathing over a bar line and play with a full beautiful sound. The
conductor may let you use rubato or may demand you follow. Either way, find ways to explore tempo and dynamics.

In this excerpt, it is very critical that the dotted eighth sixteenths and the triplets do not sound the same. The

This is a solo line that is played in two other sections prior. This is the melody so make sure you play it musically.
Practice by making all of the note durations longer. Hear the melody! This part is muted so use a good quality
mute. Play the low register louder to balance the high register. Also, make sure the secondary player blends with
your sound.

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

Use lots of rubato and a little bit of vibrato. Strive to create a "line" at all times. Thick horzontally at all times, never

This piece by Persichetti contains bitonality and serialism. Throughout the piece it will be difficult to hear intervals and
relationships.
Excerpt 71.2 Work on hearing the intervals in this passage. Accuracy will improve and the piece will function better.
Masquerade
1st trumpet in Bb, measures 138 - 143
As with before, continue working on hearing the pitches and the intervals.

" # $ $ # $ $ %$ $ $ $!

Although this is atonal, play this solo as if it were diatonic. Connect the notes, use vibrato and play the line.

As with the solo, this must be a well-played beautiful line. Also, like all atonal music, it is very important that you play
each note written accurately and at the right time. Failure to do so might affect the 12 tone row being used.

Parable IX (72)
Excerpt 72.1
Parable IX
1st trumpet in Bb, measures 15 - 17
Quarter note = 69 Vincent Persichetti
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.

Practice this excerpt without any ties. Be sure to play all the correct dynamics and articulations. You may need to
spend some time on mm. 7 and 8 to learn the intervals. Use a piano to help learn and internalize each interval. When

Practice this excerpt much like the previous two. However, there are a few more challenges with this section. First,
notice the dimenuendo in bars 36 and 37. This is difficult in the upper register so you may want to start a bit louder.
Next, notice the crescendo in measures 42 and 43. This is a bit odd in a descending line so be sure not to play measure
41 too loud.

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.

All parts are included in every trumpet part. Be aware of when you are unison.
Don't just guess at rhythms, they need to be accurate and solid. Pick one pitch
and practice rhythms with a metronome. After this, double note durations and
practice pitches slowly. Good luck!

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.

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.

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.

The opening, at measure 132, is a tutti section so there is no need to play very loud. A lot of this piece is about energy
or effect. From bars 132 through 137 work on creating the three note crescendos. At bar 138 work on accenting
each beat. At measure 144, let the line build each time.

In measures 129 through 140, Welcher wants a "ghostly" solo. Create this effect by using nothing to shape, warn or
energize the melody. Do not use dynamics, articulations or vibrato. In measure 141 use all of the devices to play the

Measures 232 through 251 are basically dictated swing. Place the accent where it is written and there will not be

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.

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.

Simplify this excerpt. Play only the 8th notes in all the 16th note runs. As you play the simplified line find the phrasing.
When you add all the 16ths back in be sure and retain the phrasing.

Machu unison with the first horn.
Composer: Satoshi Yagisawa
Part: 1st Trumpet in B!
Measures: 61-63
Tempo: " = 168
Really emphasize the accents. This will help add to the displaced feeling of pulse.
Excerpt 101.4
Machu Picchu
1st cornet in Bb, measures 107 - 113
Quarter note = 168 Satoshi Yagisawa
Work on measure 112. At a quarter note equals 168 it will be very tough. Triple tongue the lick at very slow tempos
so that it is comfortable when it is up to tempo.
