Trumpet Voluntary (bridal march)-trumpet & chamber orchestra

Trumpet Voluntary by Clarke, performed by Randy Dunn, piccolo trumpeter with chamber orchestra. This piece is a traditional bridal processional, and it has been used for many weddings (including many royal weddings.) It is one of the two most popular traditional bridal processionals. The other popular traditional bridal processional is Wagner's Bridal Chorus from Lohengrin, also known as "Here Comes the Bride."

Just curious why do you have to stand? Nice playing by the way.

Thanks--glad that you enjoyed it. I don't have to stand, but if I'm playing a solo, I usually do (just as a vocal soloist would.)

Cheers!

Thanks Houston, that was great to listen too.

[HoustonTrumpet]

You're welcome--Glad that you liked it!

That's true. Some of the greatest masterpieces are not necessary difficult to play, just well-crafted. On the other hand, just because a piece is difficult to play doesn't mean that it is a great piece of music. (There is a lot of music that is difficult to play that is total garbage.)

Also, the musicianship and beauty of the performance makes a big difference in how good the music is.

I think that's Jackie Carpenter, my harp teacher.

[HoustonTrumpet]

I do believe that you are correct.

i dont know. i didn't find this playing this piece that much of a challange. but i like it and that's what matters.

[HoustonTrumpet]

Thanks for the oblique compliment.

Your band sounds like a dying chicken?

You must be playing music by Johann Sebastian Bock, bock, bock, bock, BOCK!!!

[HoustonTrumpet]

Quite right!
