Jimmyjuicin Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 okay so i have been looking for a nice piece for trumpet to play in church. Now i've found a few pieces, but nothing really tickles my fancy. So i thought, hey, why not make a competition out of it. I'm sure someone here will be up to it! so here's what i need. -a ballad preferably. something pretty, and musical. remember, i am playing this in church. -range is from (concert) f below middle c to the C above the staff. - double and triple tonguing are acceptable - make sure the phrases are able to be played in a breath (dont make like a 32 bar phrase... because that just doesnt exactly work out on trumpet) -i'd love a piece with a melody, something that people will have in their heads for the next four years (what i mean is, nothing that just kind of makes itself up as it goes) hmmm yea. if there's anything else that comes up i'll add it. the winner gets their piece performed not only for my church, but possibly out in the community. I can also make a recording if they wish. Judges: Justin Tokke OmarSanchez Me!! may or may not be accompanied it's up to you anyone up to it? thanks much everyone:toothygrin: Deadline: January 16th at midnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkitititi Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 this sounds nice, so it is yeah, a solo solo, or a solo kind of concertino or trumpet sonata, with trumpet as the solo and the organ/piano/keyboard/else with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkitititi Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Molto importante destra... molto. Must know. hi enigmus :P this is not totally italian! you shouldn't use the automatic translation, because in english, with one word (right) you define the... 1) ...correctness of something "this is right!" 2) ...difference between left and "right" 3) ...what is wrong and what is "right" 4) ...the things i am allowed to do, so that i have the "right" to do 5) ...hmm no more ideas but sure there are many more :) so, it would be "Molto importante, giusto.... molto."

James H. Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I didn't use a translator... I just happened to know those words. Should have known they wouldn't actually go together. I know a tad of French and German, no Italian. :w00t: PS. I thought destra was "there" also. Oh well, guess I guessed wrong somewhere. *recalibrates tiny morsel of italian knowledge in head* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferkungamabooboo Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 What do you have available at the church? There are a whole gamut of churches, man... what denomination, so we can get a better understanding of what's appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmyjuicin Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 hmm. maybe i was a bit misleading when i said church i just meant a melodic piece that is sweet and mellow. something FIT to play in a church. any church. i just want something beautiful and melodic. no other restrictions. beautiful and melodic. whether it's happy, sad, troublesome, encouraging... it's all up to you the composer. i'm keeping this as open as possible. if i KNEW exactly what i wanted, then i'd write it. i'd like to see some creativity in this. so once again Beautiful. Melodic. No other restrictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
