This is an outstanding addition to the first and second year band repertoire and will provide an opportunity to introduce or reinforce basic syncopation. The excellent melodic material uses only limited ranges and instrumentation. There is plenty to keep the percussion section busy; just double the auxiliary parts as needed. This is tasteful and appropriate writing for beginning bands.

£62.95Andante et Allegro - Joseph Guy Ropartz / arr. David Marlatt
This is a standard piece in solo trumpet repertoire that is used on countless festivals and competitions. Ropartz was a French composer who studied with Csar Franck. The terrific contrast between the slow lyrical playing and the bright fanfares makes this piece a great one for demonstrating everything the trumpet can do. The original was scored for cornet and piano and this arrangement for band allows for a wider range of timbres in the accompaniment.
