Giuseppe Torelli - 12 Trumpet Concertos (c. 1690)

[@millennial8441]

It was quite hard compose interesting music for the trumpet and for the horn in those times. The notes available were those of the harmonic series and were used those high notes that could play in a certain way tuned and deliver melodic passages and not only fanfare-like arpegiation work. Currently in baroque orchestras is quite common the usage of the "baroque" trumpet and horn that are modern recreations based on the the natural ones that include the so called "vent holes" (one to four vent holes) that create a node inside the tube as they are open. This makes the picth go up the player can adjust the intonation.

Wunderschöne Interpretation dieser zwölf kompakten und fein komponierten Konzerte mit brillantem Ton der genialen Solotrompete sowie gut harmoniserten und perfekt entsprechenden Tönen der anderen Instrumente. Der intelligente und erfahrene Dirigent leitet das ausgezeichnete Kammerorchester in verschiedenen Tempi und mit künstlerisch kontrollierter Dynamik. Alles ist faszinierend!

I was in shock thinking this would be a concerto for 12 trumpets

Can you please reupload your video with Bruckner's six choral pieces? Something like that cannot be found on another channel...

[@bartjebartmans]

I didn't realize it was blocked worldwide. Let me look at it. Locus iste is blocked the rest seems ok. I will re-upload it again without that number.

[@nikola1ekic]

The name of the video was: Anton Bruckner - 6 Famous Choir Works

why did this composer compose so much in D major? Please explain. Thanks.

[@lalalalelele1189]

D major was regarded as a heavenly key. So I guess he did it to praise god. I'm actually not sure if these concertos have been originally composed for trumpet. If yes then it's also obvious why he chose D major, because the trumpets back then were mostly in the key of D (or C) and could only play in this key.

[@SimoneBattaglia94]

Simple: They used trumpets in D and natural trumpets (that's what they used in Torelli's age) are almost unusable out of their home key and neighbouring keys. A D trumpet can play well only D4 A4 D5 E5 F5 G5 G#5 A5 Bb5 C5 and other notes are either impossible or very hard to play.

@@SimoneBattaglia94 that makes sense now

@@lalalalelele1189 yep thanks

[@sergiogodinez825]

Yes, natural trumpets, common in the Baroque era were limited to notes in the harmonic series of whatever fundamental note (or key) they were pitched in. And I believe D trumpets were either the most common or the most popular. Would need to check back on some Music History textbook for reference. Still, OP has a point. Couldn't Baroque court composers have snuck in a trumpet concerto in B minor (the relative minor of D major) here and there to spice things up, having the the orchestra play the leading tones to make up for the lack of accidentals on the trumpet?
