The aim of Let's rag... is to make ragtime music accessible to a large number of instrumentalists. The choice of easy-to-play keys and the shortening of the original length to a manageable two piano pages per ragtime allows players to realise these arrangements without time-consuming preparation. The advantages of the Let's rag arrangements include the simplification of the rhythmic notation by doubling the note values from 2/4 time to alla breve 4/4 time. This means that even instrumentalists with less playing experience can enjoy this lively music. Content: - The Easy Winners - Peacherine Rag - Maria's Rag - The Entertainer - The Sycamore - Dickie's Rag - Sunflower Slow Drag - The Strenuous Life - Little Annie's Swing Rag - The Ragtime Dance An accompanying CD is available for this sheet music, which offers musicians a practical supplement (N 4800).

From ‘Solomon’, Act 3, HWV 67 George Frideric Handel's (1685-1759) festive and lively sinfonia ‘ The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba ’ from the oratorio Solomon is one of his best-known and most popular works. The characteristic blend of Baroque splendour, dance-like lightness and melodic clarity makes the piece a highlight in concerts and church services. In the arrangement by Arvid Gast (organ) and Joachim Pliquett (trumpet), the work is given an impressive sonic transformation for two instruments. The trumpet takes on the radiant upper voices, while the organ fills the orchestral part with baroque splendour and rhythmic precision. This version is ideal for festive occasions, church celebrations and as an effective concert opener. A classical work of the Baroque period – newly interpreted in a playful and audience-friendly arrangement. Content: 1. Allegro

In the collection ‘ Jesus bleibet meine Freude ’ (Jesus remains my joy), Arvid Gast and Joachim Pliquett have arranged four selected chorales for trumpet and organ in a stylish, moderately difficult arrangement that is also suitable for short-term programme expansion. Content: – BWV 147 ‘ Jesus bleibet meine Freude ’ (Jesus remains my joy) – playing time approx. 4'30'' – BWV 721 ‘ Erbarm dich mein, o Herre Gott ’ (Have mercy on me, O Lord God) - playing time approx. 1'30'' – BWV 668a ‘ Wenn wir in höchsten Nöten sein ’ (When we are in greatest need) (early version of ‘Vor deinen Thron tret ich hiermit’ (I hereby step before your throne)) - playing time approx. 1'30'' – BWV 12 ‘ What God does is well done ’ (final chorale from ‘Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen’) – playing time approx. 0'40'' These arrangements combine the vocal character of the trumpet with the rich sound of the organ and showcase Bach's choral art in an expressive setting that can be used both liturgically and in concert. Their moderate level of difficulty makes them particularly suitable for advanced pupils, students and ensembles active in church music. An inspiring choral programme – musically profound, beautiful in sound and practical.

Jean-Siegfried Blumann (1887–1965) was a German conductor and composer. He graduated from the Hamburg Conservatory's conducting class and continued his studies at the Vienna Conservatory. During his artistic career, he worked as a Kapellmeister at several German-language theatres, including in Schwerin, Lübeck, Magdeburg, Braunschweig, Breslau and at the Kroll Opera in Berlin. As a composer, Jean S. Blumann also wrote entertaining works in addition to concert pieces, études and plays. The present piece for trumpet and piano (alternatively organ) is an example of his light compositional style.

Das vorliegende Concerto ist eine Bearbeitung des Concerto B-Dur für Oboe, Violino concertante, Streicher und Continuo (RV 548) von Antonio Vivaldi. Es wurde Wert darauf gelegt, möglichst eng am Vivaldi'schen Original zu bleiben und dabei das Wesen der Originalkomposition mit auf die neue Instrumentierung zu übertragen. Es ergibt sich damit ein interessantes Abwechseln der beiden konzertierenden Instrumente Orgel und Trompete.
