The six jazz arrangements for four trumpets or flugelhorns represent attractive playing literature that is ideal for performances. They also enable trumpet students to familiarise themselves with typical jazz melodies and phrases. The pieces can be used as study material in group lessons and serve as preparation for playing in a jazz ensemble or big band. Content: 1. The Easy Way 2. Just a Tune 3. Oh, when the Saints 4.

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685–1750) is one of the most important composers in music history. His chorales are musical gems of profound spiritual meaning and artful clarity. 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.
