This arrangement of Stardust for Trumpet Quartet captures the heart and soul of the big bad era. The lush harmonies and tight dissonances take you back in time.

The skill level on this arrangement is advanced in the first part, but intermediate in the other three parts. The reason for this is the written high F Sharp towards the end in the first part.

A medley of four Christmas carols of French Origin: No�l nouvelet (Sing We Now of Christmas), Un flambeau, Jeanette, Isabelle (Bring a Torch, Jeanette, Isabelle), Il est n�, le divin enfant (He Is Born, the Holy Child), and Minuit, chr�tiens (O Holy Night). Arranged as a "fantasy-sonata" the first movement is driving, the second is a sweet lilting waltz, the third is a lighthearted take on the melody that alternates between "jaunty" and "solemn" (briefly employing bitonal harmonization) before launching into a blues variation. The finale is a "slow R&B" reimagining of O Holy Night that can be thought of somewhat as the love ballad reprise at the end of a Disney movie.

The trio lasts 9 minutes, and is suitable as a prelude or postlude for a church service or as part of a holiday recital. The difficulty is advanced, though the writing is simple enough that it should be able to be put together with minimal rehearsal time.
