Album of Trumpet Tunes for Organ arr. Dale Tucker
This collection contains 29 pieces for organ involving the solo trumpet stop, making it useful for church, recitals, weddings, and various other festive occasions. A variety of works from master composers like Henry Purcell, Jeremiah Clarke, John Stanley, and Flor Peeters is represented along with contemporary trumpet tunes written by some of your favorite contributing writers to the Belwin and Warner Bros. catalog.
Five Trumpet Tunes by David Lasky
A small collection of five Trumpet Tunes that can be used in weddings, worship, or in recitals. Includes a stately Introduction and Trumpet Tune in D; a lively Tune in A minor; a sprightly Tune in C; a spirited Tune in G, and a joyful Tune in F.
Festive Trumpet Tune by David German
Throughout the years, the sound of the trumpet has been symbolic of great entrances and celebrations. That sound is featured in this work, and may be played by the organist or a trumpet soloist. Truly a festive work, this is a joyful and exciting piece which is advanced in difficulty. Perfect for wedding processionals!
Dance of the Trumpets arr. Diane Bish
Dedicated to Janet Jarriel, Bish’s friend and agent. An energetic piece for manuals and pedals, of intermediate to advanced difficulty. The music was inspired by Psalm 150.
Trumpet Tunes for Organ arr. Robert A. Hobby
The original intent for these wonderful trumpet tunes was that most of these works be performed by organ alone with a solo reed stop. However, trumpet parts have been provided for some of these as a performance option. Parts are included. Quite exciting!
Trumpet Tunes for Organ arr. David N. Johnson
Not only the best of David N. Johnson’s trumpet tunes, but some never-before-published tunes are collected into this collection. Organists will also appreciate having access to his cycle of processionals, built on the circle of fifths, which can serve as a stand-alone concert piece, or be used one at a time for festive postludes and voluntaries. The volume includes Johnson’s popular Trumpet Tune in D, which is heard regularly on National Public Radio.
