Hello everyone!

I was wondering what everyone thought the "standard" rep for Trumpet Ensemble is. When speaking of Brass Quintet pretty much everyone can agree on a hand full of standards. Ewald. Die Bangel. Cheetham. Etc etc.

What do you think is standard for Trumpet Ensemble? What instrumentation are those works and can you play them with fewer players than recommended? Why are these pieces standard?

Check out Ewazen's Fantasia for seven trumpets. Eric Morales also has a number of pieces that work pretty well for varying numbers of trumpets.

Thanks! I'll look into those for sure. I'm currently working with a couple quartets and am exploring literature for just four trumpets. Interesting challenge!

Thanks! This is a solid list. I suppose part of the problem of getting "standard" repertoire is the fluidity of the ensemble. Seems like quintet or sextet would be the most popular.

Yes there's a lot out there and paring it down helps. I need to start a project uploading a bunch of scanned score pages for more trumpet ensemble repertoire for the Hickey's Music website. If you are on our website and see any particular trumpet chart that you want to check out, just send me a private message with a list. I will start working on it. That is an invitation to anyone. If the chart says "usually ships in 24 hours", that means it is likely in stock so I can grab it and scan some sample score pages and get that up on the site for us all to peruse.

Click on the link and choose one of the trumpet ensemble categories:

Wow Peter that would be great! I just starting teaching a trumpet ensemble at a university and a youth ensemble as well. The problem is we are so far away from anywhere that sells music (rural south problems) and hate buying online without knowing my players can handle it. I'll check out your catolog and be in touch if I see anything tempting!

Yes trumpet players need someone in the trenches to help them find great literature. Coming to Ithaca, NY for a wine tour, hiking the gorges and spending hours sitting in the stacks to peruse music is wonderful. But until you can do that, just give me a shout, tell me what you want to see, and I'll get on it.

It looks like you got some great suggestions. I would add two more favorites.

Plog - Suite for 6 Trumpets

Koetsier - Concertino Piccolo

None of these are standard but they're free, so WTF, you might as well check them out!

Still my favorite trumpet ensemble:

LoPresti Suite for Five Trumpets
Sample Pages: http://www.hickeys.com/search/products/sku027084.php

Found this recording of Loyola students online that is quite good . Hopefully ok for me to include here. You might have to paste it into your browser...not sure the best way to include YouTube items. Help with that?

Link


The Horton is similar in style to the LoPresti:

Horton Suite for Six Trumpets:

Hi:

I thought I'd share this - based on your post.
Wonderfully performed (of course) by Chris Martin, Mike Sachs, Dave Bilger, and Ryan Anthony. (conducted by Tony DiLorenzo)
I've got a few more trumpet ensemble pieces too.

VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKpp7kfmapI

My trumpet music is here: https://www.stephensonmusic.com/trumpet.htm

Thanks,
Jim

I played this just last night at the Tempe Center for the Arts. Great piece! And a beautiful tribute to a wonderful lady! Thanks for adding this piece to the trumpet quartet literature Jim. (And two us in the ensemble attended Interlochen in 1983).

I remember! I heard you play in Lindenau's studio when you were a freshman. I was there for 6 weeks in my senior year (mid Nov to Christmas) with my friend Dmitri Matheny on a Network Exchange program from our high school. You played one of the Carnival of Venice variations with your horn upside down using one finger and it was really impressive!
