Trumpet Trio
Entertain your Christmas audiences with this creative arrangement of O Come O Come Emmanuel. There are three verses and each verse has a different interpretation. The first two verses are over a sustained tonic. The last verse utilizes cascading sixteenth note patterns.
You can use this arrangement anywhere that Christmas music is performed, mall concerts, church Christmas services, school concerts, and events of that nature. This can also be used on gigs as background music at Christmas parties.
Trumpet Pro Skill Level
We put the skill level for O Come, O come Emmanuel at the Trumpet Pro level because of the range and the maturity of the phrasing. There are changing meters that stretch the phrasing a bit. The sixteenth notes also require some agility to make them sound like embellishments of the original Christmas carol.
Practice Recommendations
Spend most of your rehearsal time working on the sixteenth notes in the third verse and the overall phrasing. The sixteenths are mostly tag-team style. One part has four sixteenth notes and then another part has them, then another. Making this flow smoothly will require the ensemble to practice with a metronome.
It’s also a good idea to work on the intonation. When Eddie recorded this arrangement for the demo, he put a D concert drone in the background for the first to verses. Then he recorded scratch tracks over the drone, to help him with the intonation. Then before he laid down the final "takes" he removed the drone.
Maybe consider practicing the first two verses with a drone app or a similar device.
