Majestic Trumpet Solos, Vol. 1

This solo with piano is structured in a quasi-rondo form. Thus making a great deal of variety in texture, style, and dynamic. It will make the young performer sound more advanced.

This solo with piano is straight forward in design, giving the young player the opportunity to display dynamic and stylistic variety.

This solo is plaintive throughout as it begins with a simple melodic motive. The first verse is simply stated in the solo while supported with broken chords in the piano. The second verse is much like the first but the piano not supports the tune with gentle punctuations. The third verse is in the piano while the solo line produces a ebb and repose obbligato- the two line join together in a dramatic cadence and then settles down to a quite repose where the piano continues in a solemn flavor. The final statement in the solo is much like the first where it is joined with moving scale patterns in the piano. The two players sweep upward one last time to then settle down into solemnity.

This bubbly rendition of “Come Thou Fount” is effervescent from beginning to end. It is filled with movement and excitement expressing intense joy throughout.

This solo with piano begins with a simple statement of the tune with a middle section that uses motivic design, only to return to the opening statement.
