Product Description
Ave Maria was written by Franz
Schubert in 1825 as the sixth song in his song cycle based on Walter Scotts poem The
Lady of the Lake. It is perhaps the best known of all his melodies,
adapted for piano by Franz Liszt,
and for orchestra many times since. It is often sung with the Latin lyrics of
the Catholic hymn of the same name and has been heard everywhere from the
Disney movie Fantasia to the funeral of J.F.
Kennedy. This version is arranged as a solo for Trumpet with Piano. The pdf file contains both
the piano accompaniment and the separate solo part.
Musicians at an intermediate level and above will
find this ideal for formal and informal performances. Both parts play the
melody. The overall performance time is around four and a half minutes. The overall performance time is around four and a half minutes. The linked full-length youtube performance is the Clarinet version of this arrangement.
Teachers will enjoy using this arrangement as a fun way to help
with phrasing and expressive playing. The rhythms are straightforward though
there are extended triplet quaver arpeggios which will pose a challenge for the
pianists finger coordination.
