This dashing work in one of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's more frequently heard German Dances (K. 605, No. 3), which he specifically titled The Sleigh Ride. The composition was originally written during the last year of Mozart's life in 1791. That year was one of his more productive years, composing other well known masterpieces such as The Magic Flute, Piano Concerto in B-Flat Major, The Concerto for Clarinet, and his very last composition, the Requiem which he finished only twelve of the fifteen sections before his death. German Dance captures the wonderful melodies, lively rhythms, and ingenious colors of Mozart's style. This is a charming arrangement with three separate bell parts bringing forth the festive sound of ringing sleigh bells. Arranged to re-create classical scoring, this joyful programmatic piece will be a favorite with young musicians and audiences alike.

This fantastic new work is set to become a classic in the trumpet repertoire. Each of its three contrasting movements can be played alone as shorter pieces or together as a mini concerto. The second movement is particularly interesting in the fact it is a fantasy in theme and variations form, based on a Handel minuet. A must for all trumpet players of an intermediate to advanced level. Deel een van dit werk draait om twee contrasterende thema’s: het eerste is resoluut, het tweede lyrischer. Het tweede deel is een fantasie over een menuet van Händel. Het derde deel begint met een energiek thema, waarna een themamet een ander karakter volgt. De twee thema’s wisselen elkaar af, uitmondend in een cantabile. Het concerto eindigt met een reprise van de eerste twee thema’s.In diesem dreisätzigen Werk verarbeitete Kees Schoonenbeek mehrere eigene Themen sowie ein Menuett von Händel. Ein Thema ist resolut, das nächste eher lyrisch, ein drittes sehr energisch. Aus der Gegenüberstellung, Weiterentwicklung und abwechselnden Wiederholung dieser Themen und Melodien ergeben sich interessante Kontraste, die das Evergreen Concerto zu einem wahren Evergreen machen, an dem sich das Publikum nie satt hören wird. Evergreen Concerto s’articule autour d’un premier mouvement constitué de deux thèmes contrastants - l’un résolu, l’autre lyriquement mélodieux - d’une fantaisie libre sur un menuet de Georg Friedrich Haendel et d’un troisième mouvement qui développe deux entités thématiques progressant vers un charmant cantabile. Evergreen Concerto se conclut par un retour alterné des deux thèmes initiaux.
