William Bay Trumpet Anthology

This is a collection of 155 solos for trumpet, cornet, or flugelhorn.  Ninety-one were recorded on various trumpets, 37 were recorded on cornet and 27 on flugelhorn.  One hundred and fourteen are original compositions and the remaining 41 are arrangements on favorite hymns and sacred songs.  A warm-up study is also included.  This compilation comprises 6 books; Trumpet Chants; Trumpet Tone Poems, Trumpet Ballads and Waltzes, Trumpet Partitas, Soliloquies for Flugelhorn, Trumpet or Cornet, and Hymns for Unaccompanied Trumpet.  Many of the pieces have been revised and new ones have been added.  Each book was recorded with a different instrument although Trumpet Ballads and Waltzes and Trumpet Partitas were both recorded with a cornet.  However, a different mouthpiece was used for each of those two recordings, thus giving each a slightly different sound.  Both the instrument and the mouthpiece used are noted on the title page of each section.  Most of the selections are aimed at developing tone and lyricism on the trumpet.  However, Trumpet Partitas definitely addresses technical issues.  There is a wealth of music in this collection, and it will add much to trumpet practice and performance repertoire. Includes access to an online recording of the author performing each of the 155 solos.
