Product Description
These pieces, originally written for Trumpets and Drums, were published in 1884 when John Philip Sousa was in his fourth year as Director of the Marine Band.
This small collection has now been arranged with eight different groupings in mind: two trumpets, trumpet/horn, trumpet/trombone, two horns, horn/trombone, two trombones, trombone/tuba, and two tubas. As these versions are all in the same key, less likely pairings such as trumpet/tuba and horn/tuba can be performed with players viewing their respective parts.
I intend this arrangement to be useful to instructors for multiple reasons: learning clefs, mastering partials, studying form and construction on a small scale, and testing memorization. The multiple versions allow instructors continued use as their students needs develop. Of course, wherever trombone is named the euphonium is readily substituted. Treble clef readers should use the Trumpet parts, while Bass clef readers can use the Trombone parts.
This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
