Wallace, John - The Victorian Trumpet

Melodrama, sentimentality and sheer cockney cheek: the Victorian era was a period of extremes. With brass bands abounding in concert halls, bandstands and even street corners, first the cornet and then the trumpet flourished inthis heady social and musical atmosphere. This varied collection of popular Victorian solos ranges from Sullivan's The Lost Chord to Koenig's Posthorn Gallop, with pieces idiomatically arranged for the intermediatetrumpeter. So take a nostalgic trip, and recreate the spirit of a lost age.
