Three for Four (Composed for (and perfect for) junior high trumpeters, these three short pieces for four players (Tango, Andante, and Allegro, in keys of written A minor, E minor, and F) feature engaging melodies with attractive harmonies, accompaniment figures, and little challenges for everyone. Well edited, including articulations and breath marks. The second and third works were first introduced as a capella melodies in 2002 in "Twenty-one Norwegian Trumpet Soli," published by Wolfgang G. Haas-Musikverlag Koln e. K., and are used here by permission. The first melody and the arrangements for all three quartets are by James Olcott. NOTE: because of the 16th notes, this work could be put in grade 3, but the lines are rudimentary enough to keep it as a grade 2 (see examples by clicking the treble clef next to the microphones).)
