The newest ones are these:
11. SONATA IN D (Petronio Franceschini).$20.00
12. PRESTO (Willem de Fesch). . . . . .$18.00
13. NEW ORLEANS (Hoagy Carmichael). . . $20.00
14. NUTCRACKER SUITE (Tchaikovsky). . . $30.00
The deFesch PRESTO (calling for Bb trumpets) is mildly similar to the Martini "Tocatta", lots of flowing 16th notes.
The Franceschini SONATA IN D (if you don't know it, you're missing a real treat--it's a masterpiece!) calls for both trumpets to use A-picc's, in some of the finest "equal writing" ever for two trumpets. The trumpet parts, though scored in Concert pitch for C-trumpets, work best if played on A-piccolo trumpets.
The Carmichael NEW ORLEANS is a bluesy, early 1930s ballad based on a recording from that same time by the Casa Loma Orchestra--and it has the vocal line if you have a singer!
BK Brass
Bonnie Kline, the person who's been doing all the Finale work for me, has also done several fine quintet arrangements.
KOMM SUSSER TODD (J.S. Bach) a glorious chorale. . . .$7.00
CONCERTO IN D (G.P. Telemann)mvts. I and IV--yes, it's the "famous" concerto, lowered to Bb, much in the same manner as Dave Hickmann did with the Albinoni "St. Marc". . . .$9.00
SUSSEX MUMMERS CHRISTMAS CAROL, based on a Percy Grainger harmonization; very neat touch at Christmas. . .$7.00
TRIO SONATA (J.J. Quantz)--mvts. I and II; a real gem, very well-suited to brass. . .$9.00
AIR from "The Third Suite" (J.S. Bach) the so-called "Air On the G-String"; there are none more glorious!. . .$8.00
ADAGIO and ALLEGRO (G.F. Handel) beautiful and virtuosic. . .$10.00
And lastly, an item which I decided to let the arranger sell directly herself, handling all the promotional "work".  It's a doozie--actually, a "dizzy".  It's that wacky-flashy and totally fun...
"DIZZY FINGERS" (Zez Confrey), at $10.00
