This piece, originally an oboe solo, was made famous in the trumpet world by none other than Maurice Andr. Because of the key and range, an e-flat trumpet is the ideal instrument to play the solo line. The quintet trumpet parts should be played on flugelhorns to better create a more cohesive quintet sound. This arrangement has been dedicated to the brilliant playing and the terrific arranging of Mr. Fred Mills, long-time member of the Canadian Brass. |
