Psalm XIX: The
Heavens Declare was
written by the Italian
composer, writer, and
theorist Benedetto
Marcello (1686-1739). By
profession Marcello
served as a governor and
chamber-lain in Italy,
although he is well-known
for his harsh satires of
contemporary coposers,
such as Vivaldi and
Lotti, As a composer,
Marcello was ingenious
and imaginative; his
works include opera
librettos, concertos,
vocal music, and psalm
settings in cantana
style. This particular
psalm setting has become
popular for organ, and,
thanks to the talent of
arranger Barry Toombs, is
part of the repertoire of
the Westwind Brass. Mr.
Toombs's brass quintet
arrangement of The
Heavens Declare calls for
the optional B Piccolo
Trumpet in the 1st
Trumpet part. It is
preferred that the 1st
trumpet player use a
piccolo trumpet. However,
if one is not available,
B trumpet may be uses as
a substitute.
