A Short History Lesson on My Interest in Trumpet Ensembles While still teaching at the University of Northern Iowa, I became aware of the need for trumpet ensembles. This need stemmed from the fact that we at UNI had more trumpet students involved with our program than we had ensembles for them to perform in. The strongest talents were garnering all of the top chairs and the average players were left to play second and third cornet parts throughout their time on campus. It seemed to me that every player should have a shot at a solo once in a…

I wrote this number to recognize the people who give so much to our country and who do it in such an unselfish manner. I’m speaking of course of the members of our armed services. This video was recorded at our local college and I hope you enjoy this small token of our gratitude to those who spend their lives making sure that we continue to live in the greatest country on earth. Thank you from the Branson Trumpet Ensemble and the free people of the United States of America. Returning Home With Honor- The Branson Trumpet Ensemble
I have often read “This product is the best in the world”, and my first thought would be, “How do you know it’s the best in the world”? And I’m sure you have had the same reaction. How could anything be judged the best in the world? Continue reading and I will try to inform you as to why I think my recent series of brass ensemble arrangements may not be the best in the world, but why I think they will and are the best Brass Series I have seen or heard. First we must set guidelines when evaluating…
Our good friend John Hess is back and the amount of work put into this video is only matched by his ability to play his horns. I wonder if this gentleman ever sleeps. Thanks again John and may you live forever!
With all of the fine trumpet players in the world today, it is a challenge to decide which ones to feature. Making my decision this time was much easier for I have a vested interest in this gentleman. His name is John Hess and he was kind enough to send me this video which he recorded/performed and produced using one of my arrangements. Sometimes it’s nice to pat yourself on the back as long as you can control your ego.
Just as it would be impossible to name my favorite child, it would also be impossible for me to name my favorite arrangement. To narrow the field down a little from the two hundred and fifty five arrangements that I have listed on my site, I thought I would list the top three (when possible) from each of the fifteen categories. Some have been selected for their creativity; some were included because of their uniqueness and some because of the possible value to the trumpet literature. Latin • Malaguenia • De Torreon a Lerdo • Girl from Ipanema • Besame…
