Trumpet Waves (8-part, Bb)

Composed in 2012, this 8-part trumpet ensemble was written for the Perimeter College Trumpet Ensemble and  and premiered at the Trumpet Festival of the Southeast in Jan, 2013.  This piece is 6 1/2 minutes long and changes gears several times.  There is even a section with a hint of Baroque and features Trumpets 1 and 3 doubling on “A” piccolo.  There is a funk section with solo changes for trumpets 2 and 8.  Trumpets 6-8 double on flugel. Then there is a swing section before a return to the opening idea.

Here is a MIDI version to give you an idea:
