The piano part is varied, expanded and embellished; there's also a bit of variety and variation in the trumpet parts, too. Take this musical journey to the bonny, bonny banks and you'll find all roads lead to Scotland. Recommended for recitals, concerts and ceilidhs (or any Celtic-themed music event). 15 pages of music (that includes separate two-page pullout parts for each trumpet). Concert Key (Piano): F major. Trumpet Key: G major. Trumpet Level: Intermediate. Piano Level: Late Intermediate.

The arrangements are scored for three independent parts, though you can use as many trumpets as you wish or even trumpet duets. While the more folk-like carols are arranged in a free style, the more traditional hymn-like carols use the traditional harmonies and voicing. This collection is completely compatible with the arrangements for wind instruments with the same title. The arrangements could be used as stand-alone pieces or as an accompaniment to congregational singing. For this reason, dynamics have been omitted and articulations have been kept to a minimum
