Product Description
You dont have to be an emperor to admire these three regal and stately fanfares composed for an elaborately staged Equestrian Ballet at the Hofburg Imperial Palace in Vienna highlighting the 1667 imperial court marriage celebrations of Emperor Leopold the First to the Infanta Margareta of Spain. Performed in its day by court trumpeters with valveless instruments and a pair of timpani, each fanfare announced with a different articulation style a new portion for the choreographed cavalry Equestrian Ballet. Accessible for students using B-flat or C trumpets and with timpani parts in both keys, they provide useful material for ceremonies and programs, even an exciting opening work to a band or orchestra concert featuring the trumpet section. Doubling parts enhances the musical impact of Baroque trumpet corps timbre and creates options for antiphonal treatment. The sound file is an actual trumpet ensemble performance of the entire edition and not a computer playback of the score.
