Mick Hesse has written a warmup routine in three chapters using his 50+ year career as a performing artist and teacher to help mature performers get and stay in shape throughout the course of a season. In his own words: These 3 Stages of practice are designed to help you get started and keep you practicing in a fundamentally sound way. The exercises start with a five minute time limit and move seamlessly to six and seven minutes of playing. Once memorized these sequences will allow you to pick up your horn and be ready to play a rehearsal with a properly warmed up embouchure in five minutes. If your schedule allows 11 or 18 minutes you can be assured that you are not only warmed up but also maintaining a properly functioning embouchure that you can build on as much as time, energy and motivation allows. Rest as needed during this practice session.

I love the winter season, perhaps because I was born in February. My hometown is known for its cold weather in winter. In fact, my first name Yukiko means snow girl. My parents gave me this name because it was snowing on the day I was born. Before I started to write the piece, various images depicting the scenery of a snowy morning developed in my mind. Imagine that there is no wind, no sound, and it is a very clear morning. I heard the sound of an organ playing a traditional chorale somewhere from a distance. This is the scenery of my imagination for this piece. You will find many inner melodies, dialogues and conversations between the instruments throughout the piece. Listen carefully to the other instruments and stay in tune while you play.

This carol, though infrequently sung, typifies all the sound of the Christmas season, making an instrumental setting doubly attractive. The tune is squarely stated and then followed by six variations. Suitable for high school players on up to professionals. Works well as a brass quartet, but add the tuba if you can. Horn in F can be substituted for Trombone I.

Bring your trumpets out front and let them herald in the holiday season, starting with a fanfare that leads into a fun, swinging version of this well known carol. It's easy to work up, and it's playable with limited instrumentation so it will sound fine with as few as 2 trumpets. After playing through the tune, the bones, bass & bari get a fun riff going. Then the saxes and trumpets trade twos over it. This leads up to a key change and the trumpets lead the way to the end. No solos.

This profound collection for Palm Sunday, Triduum, and Easter, deeply infused with the passion of the season, evolves from the worship in the parishes where Rory Cooney and Gary Daigle have served over the years. Trumpet in the Morning, Rory Cooney's highly inspirational hymn for the millennium, is set to the haunting strains of an early-American melody. The text draws on jubilee imagery, especially from the book of Leviticus, but its point of view is distinctly modern. New hymns resound with the emotions of the season, including the solemn strains of Good Friday's Precious Blood and the truly uplifting title song, This Very Morning. Also included is a new concertato arrangement of Suzanne Toolan's classic, I Am the Bread of Life. Highlights of this collection include a stirring acclamation for baptism that has been expanded into a song for the sprinkling of the assembly. There is an upbeat Litany of Saints to accompany the baptismal procession to the font, appropriately based on When the Saints Go Marchin' In and incorporating the refrain from that enduring spiritual. One each of the following octavos: TRUMPET IN THE MORNING (G-4970) • QUIET STRENGTH (G-5011) • PALM SUNDAY PROCESSIONAL (G-5012) • LENTEN GOSPEL ACCLAMATION (G-5013) • PRECIOUS BLOOD (G-5014) • FRACTION RITE AND “TABLEPRAYER” (G-5015) • CONCERTATO ON “I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE” (G-5016) • PSALM 31: I PLACE MY LIFE (G-3613) • GENESIS READING FOR THE GREAT VIGIL (G-5018C) • PSALM 118 (EASTER ALLELUIA) FOR THE GREAT VIGIL (G-5019) • A LITANY OF SAINTS: WHEN THE SAINTS COME MARCHIN’ IN (G-5020) • YOU HAVE PUT ON CHRIST (G-5021) • THIS VERY MORNING (G-5022).

Transposed to B-flat major, this arrangement sounds very full and sonorous, and can be prepared with a minimal amount of rehearsal time.
