Trumpet descants Music for Lent, Holy Week and Easter - Descants for Bb and C trumpet
Some of these descants are extracted from my earlier books, Praise Him With the Sound of the Trumpet, Vols. 1 and 2, but many of the descants are brand new, for this Easter!
Each hymn contains the melody written for Bb trumpet, while each descant is written for Bb trumpet (picc?) and C trumpet. These descants must be considered grade IV and above difficulty because of the use of the high register. However, the few that were originally intended to be played in the stratosphere are readily playable an octave lower! You may download a free sample at the dowmload site.
