Trumpet & Piano - Medium

SKU: WO.0315

Composed by Jules Massenet. Arranged by Eric Wilson. Lyrical trumpet solo. Light Concert. Piano score and parts. Winwood Music #0315. Published by Winwood Music (WO.0315).

Like many composers, Jules Massenet was happy to make several uses of the same music – especially a tune as good as this! Élégie began life as a piano piece before being incorporated into incidental music for a play (Les Érinnyes) where it’s known as ‘Invocation’, and later a version for cello and orchestra. I don’t think, then, that Massenet would mind the present arrangement for trumpet and piano!
It’s a beautiful melancholic melody and gives trumpet players the opportunity to show their lyrical side. The notes themselves are not hard to master, but it does require a great deal of refinement and control.
