The Great American Shoot Out (Part 3)- Solo Flute vs. Trumpet Trio & Double Bass

written by on

Transforming a Baroque Flute solo to a Trumpet Ensemble was a real challenge. It began as a Trumpet Duet but quickly changed to a trio primarily because of the constant playing which gave the advantage to the flute over the Trumpet.

The next hurdle was to musically divide the three parts evenly and still retain the same musical flow of the original solo instrument.

It is my wish that we have added the same excitement and authenticity of the period by featuring our Trumpets in the same way Vivaldi accomplished with his well known Vivaldi – Trumpet Concerto for 2 Trumpets.
