So piccolo literature is my bread and butter... It's been 14 years since I've performed Bach's Christmas Oratorio... I can't, for the life of me, remember how to play the low g in measure 35 of No. 8 Aria... Can anyone help me out?!?

tia,

Randall

Bend it down. Just practice it and you can make it work pretty easy.

The real question is...how are you playing the low trills?

I always just switch to C trumpet for those 4 measures. It is no big deal, just practice switching back and forth. If you have a small C, I would probably use that - otherwise just play with a sound concept that is a natural extension of your piccolo sound.

(I suppose you could also have your third trumpet player play those bars if he/she can be trusted.)

Thanks all! I ended up bending it down. It almost worked! Had fun either way!

If you play a Yamaha 4-valve or a Schilke P5-4, simply exchange the third and fourth valve slides. Tune the 1-4 for the low Fs, and tune the 1-2-3-4 for the low Gs. Works pretty well for that movement, Go back to normal valve slide placements for the other movements.
