Broadening horizons
Explorations into very different musical landscapes for three or four trumpets.
"The Trumpet outings-series is designed for trumpet players of all levels to familiarize them with a broad musical horizon." - What the publisher Bim writes here is what it delivers: in Charles Reskin, it has found an arranger and composer who puts his unmistakable stamp on this series with a great deal of wit, charm and craftsmanship.
This booklet contains twelve pieces of medium difficulty for three or four trumpets. Accompaniments can be downloaded free of charge as MP3 files via the Internet, which certainly provides additional stimulation for everyday practicing. The musical spectrum ranges from funk to fanfare to an invention in the style of Bach. The dedicatees of the individual pieces are also remarkable. They include such illustrious names as Tony Plog, Thomas Stevens and, last but not least, the grand seigneur of Editions Bim: Jean Pierre Mathez.
