For Trumpet duet and Band. Composed by William Boyce. Arranged by Rodney Parker. Little Solo concerts/Trumpet/Cornet/Flugel Horn Solo and Band. Solo and Band Series.

Originally the second movement of Boyce's Voluntary in D, this piece has become popular in the English Church as a postlude for occasions such as weddings. In this edition it has been extensively re-arranged by Rodney Parker in baroque style for two solo trumpets and band. The solo trumpets are best placed apart, ideally above and to each side of the band but not too far away. The piece should be played in a clear baroque style with special attention to dynamics and articulation. The accompaniments should never overpower the soloists and it should always be performed lightly. This is most important for the Tuba and other bass instruments for which this piece is a fitness test!
