Eric Ewazen - Fantasia for Seven Trumpets

[@trevorwoodcock4737]

I gotta say, I'm insanely impressed by the seamless transition of a melody from one player to another, 0 difference in tone, pitch, clarity, anything. It sounds like 1 trumpet 7 times

Because they are WELL SCHOOLED on the soundest of principles and they PRACTICED a lot !!!

It’s just seven different Chris Gekkers

One of the finest trumpet ensemble recordings in existence! Thanks for posting! Go Braves!

GORGEOUS WORK! Ugh it's *so* good, just one brilliant motif to the next in river-flowing motion, with one of the finest brass ensembles I have ever heard in my life.

Thoroughly enjoyed this composition. Writing whilst being limited by ranges of this instrument, (I don't play the trumpet) the composer creates a mosaic of sound and richness of intonation that works so well. Brilliant.

thank you for posting a amazing recording of this. ive tried to find a good recording for about 2 years now and this is the first time ive found one (when ive looked that is).

[@marcoschrispim3083]

wonderful song.

[@MusicNerdMIDI]

Such a great piece!

[@Jdog-lk1mm]

Ugh amazing

[@rinatakahashi1746]

cool!!!

[@wyattwahlgren8883]

I keep thinking there's a trombone because there's a trumpet in its low range and it sounds quite good.

[@jaegertiger384]

Bass Trumpet... they exist you know.

[@wyattwahlgren8883]

@@jaegertiger384 I do know they exist, but I do not have a score. I cannot tell if that's a really good low range trumpet player or a bass trumpet. It's sounds like it could be either of them, but I'm not trumpet expert. I'm a low brass guy. Feel free to clarify if you want.

@@wyattwahlgren8883 There IS a Bass Trumpet in this recording... kzbin.info/www/bejne/jl6reoOdfL2qoKM .... If you go to the video, the Bass Trumpet is on the 2nd line, right-hand side. I did not scrutinize closely enough to see whether there is a 2nd Bass Trumpet... and alas, I have never seen the score. It would clearly identify the voicing of all the 9 trumpets you see at SMU. By virtue of the title of the piece, SMU has 2 more trumpets than the 7 scored in the original work.

[@wyattwahlgren8883]

@@Jaegertiger Cool.

[@gerhardhofer7505]

@@Jaegertiger I looked through the recording and didn't see a bass trumpet. I believe that this is just scored for 7 Bb Soprano Trumpets. SMU likely just doubled two of the parts

Imagine playing in a rumored trumpet ensemble if ya know what I mean
