Elgar Howarth’s Concerto for Trumpet and Orchestra has been arranged for Trumpet with Piano accompaniment by Martin Harvey. The new Piano reduction cleverly compensates for the extendedpassages of untuned percussion in the original accompaniment adding yet another dimension to this exciting and volatile work. Elgar Howarth (b. 1935) is one of the foremost Brass musicians in Britain today; highlyregarded as a performer conductor composer and teacher. He was born into the northern Brass Band heritage and studied at the Royal Manchester College of Music (now the RNCM). He played the Trumpet at the Royal Opera House andthe Royal Philharmonic Orchestra while also conducting and composing for several Brass Bands most notably the Grimethorpe Colliery Band. He has since written extensively for solo Brass instruments and continues to teach theTrumpet at the Royal Academy of Music.

Last Night of the Proms 'A sans que cela mars - impensable! 'Pomp and Circumstance militaire Mars n 1', avec sa section du milieu, le 'Land of Hope and Glory 'hymne comme par Edward Elgar (1857-1934), appartient à la finale de l'événement musical de Londres comme le Mars Radetzky habituellement joué que la dernière pièce de Concert du Nouvel An de l'Orchestre philharmonique de Vienne. La renommée et la popularité des quatre autres marches militaires composées par Elgar entre 1901 et 1907 fade en comparaison de cet hymne secret national de Grande-Bretagne (bien que fortement concurrencé par 'Rule, Britannia!). Il est, en effet, une pièce tout aussi vibrant et accrocheur de la musique, et la mélodie entraînante au milieu vient de devenir un classique 'touché'. Merci à la présente édition, tous ceux qui n'ont pas un grand orchestre symphonique à la maison peuvent maintenant jouer ce mois de mars réveiller par eux-mêmes. / Trompette Et Piano
