Three solos with special emphasis on rhythm. Grades 6 - 8.
Three solos with a special emphasis on rhythmic control. These will encourage young players to get inside the chivalrous and flamboyant character of the trumpet. The piano accompaniment is also challenging and characterful to match.

Includes :
1. Rondino
2. Arietta
3. Alla Marcia
Written in 1988, the three movements that make up this Little Suite show different characteristics and expression.
The first movement,Rondino, features a lively solo part in syncopated rhythm, the piano adding a sustained harmonic background, although it does occasionally join in the rhythmic fun.The trumpet sounds quite brilliant from time to time and can be heard playing several passages of triple tongueing.
Secondly, more gentle music in the Arietta. This time the piano is entirely accompanying, although in no way subordinate, whilst the solo weaves a lyrical melody that sounds clearly through the chordal texture giving the music an almost pastoral quality.
The Suite ends with a brisk Alla Marcia. Fanfares and march rhythms predominate and both instruments play an equal role in propelling the music to its final cadence.

An exhilarating concert piece for trumpet - grade 8.
The Huffle takes its name from an old Kentish folk dance celebrating the end of the hop-picking season.
“This exhilarating concert piece is a must for any trumpeter’s repertoire. Simon Proctor’s writing exudes freshness and vitality and this is a piece that displays the full potential of the performer and his instrument.”
