Trumpet
Voluntary
This music is a standard choice for weddings, perhaps made
popular at the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana in 1981.
It is also an appropriate selection for other accessions. Written
by Jerimiah Clarke and originally titled 'The Prince of Denmark's
March,' in our performance Jason and John both play piccolo trumpets
in an antiphonal arrangement to show off the ringing brilliance
of this pairing.

Rondeau
Because this was used at the theme music for Masterpiece
Theater, it is the most well known, possibly the only known, music
written by Jean Joseph Mouret. Instantly recognizable, it is well
received at churches, concerts and casual performances.

Scherzo
This is a more contemporary piece which we believe has the
feel of the Old West to it. Full of rhythmic lilt, the melodic lead
is continually passed around the quintet which keeps us all busy.
A favorite piece in our concert presentation this year, it was written
by John Cheetham who teaches a the University of Missouri.

Yesterday
Everybody loves a beautiful song and the Lennon/McCartney
ballad, 'Yesterday,' is one of the best. This arrangement features
melody in flugel horn, horn and euphonium. It is a beautiful choice
for pre-wedding music or as background music for a casual event.

Cartoon
City
Television cartoons contained terrific music and remarkable
performances by Hollywood's studio musicians. Our performance covers
the golden age from Bugs Bunny to Bart Simpson. A spirited piece
with a touch of class.

Sonata from Die
Bankelsangerlieder
Who? What? If you are a brass player this piece is well known.
A Renaissance transcription for brass quintet, the composer is unknown.
We often use this as a postlude in a church service even though
there is probably no connection to a church service in its composition.
We just like the way it sounds.

Happy Trails
What better way to say 'so long' in Texas. This is the old
Roy Rogers theme but Roy and Dale weren't available for the recording.
We hope we captured the spirit of the Old West in this recording.
Happy Trails!
