Trumpets on Parade

Trumpets on Parade is a modern bravura feature for three trumpets very much in the spirit of Bugler’s Holiday. Trumpets on Parade is a showcase for the 3 leads that features double tonguing and a lyrical middle section. The 1st trumpet range is concert E4 to Bb5, with an optional D6 at the end for “hot shots”. If you are considering programming Bugler’s Holiday but are not a fan of “warhorses”, then Trumpets on Parade is a great choice. The ScoreFlipper audio has the 3 trumpet parts played by the composer himself!
