"Three Festive Trumpet Tunes" is a collection that may be used effectively in worship or recital. The three pieces are playable on organ alone or with trumpet and organ. The AMSTERDAM tune uses a recurring ritornello theme that is based on the opening melody of the hymn tune. The Trumpet Tune in D Major is an original composition and is written in a baroque rondo style. Following a joyous main theme, the center section has a whimsical dialogue between the organ and the trumpet. The WESTMINSTER ABBEY piece states the tune the first time in the organ and in the second statement the trumpet plays a more embellished version of the tune. Reproducible trumpet parts for both B-flat and C trumpets are included in the book.
