Composed by Josquin des Prez. Arranged by Charles Decker. Chamber,Contest,Festival,Historic,Multicultural,Renaissance,World. 17 pages. Charles Decker Music Press #3567997. Published by Charles Decker Music Press (A0.817132).This royal fanfare for the 1498 coronation of French King Louis XII is a three-part canon over a slow cantus firmus theme based on the letters in "Vive le Roi" (Long Live the King). Though five centuries old, it remains an exciting and brilliant fanfare useful for concerts or ceremonies. In addition to brass programs and special events consider featuring your band or orchestra trumpet section by opening your concert with this accessible and brilliant fanfare. It can be performed by four or five trumpeters using either B-flat or C instruments and program notes are included. The audio file is an actual trumpet ensemble performance of the entire work and not a computer playback of the score.
