In Classic Hymns, Philip Sparke has taken 10 of the best-loved hymn tunes, popular around the world, and used them as the basis of a collection of short recital pieces, ranging from simple descant arrangements to a full-blown theme and variations. Ideal for concert or contest use, these charming pieces range in mood from triumphal to reflective and can provide that ‘musical moment’ and a time for meditation in church services and religious occasions of all kinds.

Anglo Music PressBij de keuze van de hymnen voor deze verzameling heeft Philip Sparke grotendeels geput uit de grote Engelse hymnen van de 18e en 19e eeuw - melodieën die niet alleen geschikt zijn voor samenzang, maar ook veel muzikalemogelijkheden bieden voor uitbreiding en variatie. De bijgevoegde cd bevat zowel volledige uitvoeringen als begeleidingstracks. Deze hymnen zijn uitstekend geschikt voor het spelen in concert- of wedstrijdverband, of als muzikaalintermezzo tijdens een kerkdienst.

Bei der Auswahl der Hymnen für diese Sammlung bediente sich Philip Sparke größtenteils der großen, englischen Hymnen aus dem 18. und 19. Jahrhundert. Die beiliegende CD enthält sowohl vollständige Aufnahmen als auch reine Begleitversionen. Diese Hymnen eigenen sich perfekt für den Einsatz im Gottesdienst, Konzert und Wettbewerb, aber auch für das Spiel zum eigenen Vergnügen.

Williams' Artistic Duets pick up where his 114 Easy Duets left off. They range from intermediate to advanced level and require much more stamina and endurance. Many are 3 pages long and demand a good facility on the instrument, increased range, flexibility, and adept reading skills to keep everything together. These are a wonderful collection that are an absolute staple of the repertoire. I am very pleased to have them on the store taking their place among the most import trumpet duet books in our history. For people who already have William's transposition method you will recognize some of these duets, while others are originals for this publication.

The trumpet can be a beautifully lyrical instrument. Often not enough emphasis is placed on making the instrument sing. The 20 ballads contained in this book are designed to develop a lyrical sense. Play the pieces in a relaxed and free manner. Avoid playing too loud. On these pieces, when in doubt, play a notch softer than you might think normal. Strive for long phrases and let the melodies sing freely from your trumpet. I think that if you play a number of these ballads as part of your daily practice you will see a definite growth in your ability to play in a beautifully free style.
