SKU: S0.709145
Composed by Gabriel Faure. Arranged by Charles Decker. Romantic Period,Repertoire,Technique Training,Graduation,Recital. Score,Set of Parts. 20 pages. Published by Charles Decker Music Press (S0.709145).These trumpet fanfares are the prelude to Gabriel Faure's 1888 incidental music for Alexandre Dumas' dramatic play Caligula and evoke with open fifths musical images of approaching marching Roman Empire soldiers. The fanfares work equally well for B-flat or C trumpets; two versions are included, one for three trumpets as originally scored, and another for two trumpet trios scored antiphonally to enhance a dramatic musical impact. Beyond brass ensemble programs or special ceremonies, these evocative fanfares can add an exciting and memorable opening to band or orchestra concerts featuring the trumpet section.
For a list of my 30+ trumpet ensemble editions enter “Trumpet Ensemble” in the search field at Charles Decker Music Press to see works ranging from the Renaissance to contemporary new pieces for 3 to 12 trumpets for all levels of trumpeters from the inexperienced to professional level. Kendor Music also publishes more of my trumpet ensemble arrangements of music by Bach, Handel, and Renaissance composers Gervaise, Susato.
