Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Jonathan Spencer. Baroque,Historic. 42 pages. Jonathan Spencer #934465. Published by Jonathan Spencer (A0.1349695).The Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565, is a composition for organ by, according to the oldest sources, German composer Johann Sebastian Bach and is one of the most widely recognisable works in the organ repertoire. Although the date of its origin is unknown, scholars have suggested between 1704 and the 1750s. The piece opens with a toccata section followed by a fugue that ends in a coda, and is largely typical of the north German organ school of the Baroque era.
This arrangement for trumpet choir (8 trumpets) aims to stay true to the original as much as possible but without low brass some harmony has been inverted to make it playable.
The arrangment will test all 8 players - 2 strong piccolo trumpet players are required for this. It is set up in 2 choirs:
a) Piccolo Trumpet in Bb
3 Trumpets in Bb
b) Piccolo Trumpet in Bb
3 Trumpets in Bb
I hope all trumpet players will enjoy playing a piece of baroque history!
