Doc Severinsen - Hermann Concerto for Trumpet

This unpublished piece was commissioned for Doc Severinsen, who performs it here with the Sapulpa, Oklahoma high school band. Doc actually was involved in the commission of many original works for trumpet and band. He did many guest artist concerts such as this, and performed with my high school band, which was an outstanding experience. This performance was around 1970 and is from a live concert. The recording was never released commercially. This is from a series of educational recordings from Silver Crest.

Amazing! What a master! (I think the "brassy sound" was an artifact of the recording equipment in that day.)

He has such a brassy sound

Wonderful unknown work, very well performed not only by Doc, but by this HS band! Thanks for sharing. JT.

Not a difficult piece, but has a real wild west feeling.

This is Doc at his best! A wonderful unknown piece played brilliantly, live.

I love watching trumpet recordings because they give me a sense of what articulation I should use as a euphonium player in marches with the melody and I try to incorporate them when I feel they are necessary.
