Angel, Blow that Trumpet
Words & Music by Ken Litton (ASCAP)
SATB or TTBB Piano, opt. String Bass, Clarinet, Trumpet & Trombone
Many choirs/ensembles haven't done many trumpet-feature songs in the last decade or so. But, since the trumpet figures so prominently in the Bible why not try one?! And, since both the anthems and contemporary worship songs of today tend to neglect the second coming of Christ here’s an offering from the spiritual/anthem/jazz confluence.
Angel, Blow that Trumpet is based on I Corinthians 13:50-57 and I Thessalonians 4:13-18. The style? Well, let’s call it “Natalie Sleeth meets New Orleans jazz!”
You’re almost sure to find the voicing very approachable, yet thrilling for SATB (TTBB and SSA also available).
The accompaniment is a dixie-land styling originally conceived for piano, string bass/fretless electric bass/standard bass guitar (it would be fun to have someone do it on the “big bass viol”), Bb clarinet, trombone and Bb trumpet.
These parts are included with the choral score.
Above all, it's fairly easy to learn and fun to sing!
The clarinet and trombone parts are a lot of fun and the trumpet part features an easily playable/adaptable ending that nails the piece (actually the lower version is really nice). Plus, with the single exception of swinging the eighth note pairs, there’s no improvisation required here. These parts are really best for good, legit players just as written.
And, though I know that you have more than enough skill to get all of this from the score, the audio file in mp3 format (3:32) will also available separately.
