Description
Showcase the brilliance of your upper brass with the legendary Trumpet Blues and Cantabile. Composed by the great bandleader Harry James, this arrangement by Jerome Thomas allows for either a Single Solo Cornet or a Cornet Trio. The piece features high-speed, technical blues sections contrasted with a beautiful, singing “cantabile” melody. It is a quintessential showcase for cornetists, requiring both dazzling finger-work and a rich, expressive tone. It is a high-octane entertainment item that never fails to impress.
Difficulty 4
(Medium) A level 4 difficulty rating brings very challenging rhythms to the piece. Syncopation will be freely used, as will the more extreme ranges for all instruments.
