Epic Christmas Series  •  For Trumpet

Carol of the Bells

The epic medley with God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, for solo trumpet.

The driving bell ostinato you know, rebuilt as a cinematic showpiece in D minor and handed to a solo trumpet. It opens warm and low, ideally on flugelhorn, and finishes above the staff. A hybrid orchestra sits underneath, with select members of the St. Petersburg Philharmonic, a live rock rhythm section, and synth. The solo comes in C and in B♭, each with a Virtuoso version that takes the second theme up an octave. Play it over a backing track, add a pianist, pair up with a second trumpet or a sax or a trombone, or bring the full orchestra. Every version lives on this page, from the $39 Soloist Suite to the full Symphony Master score.

Note: Each tier includes everything from the tiers before it. The orchestration plays under any of the four duo pairings — two trumpets, trumpet and trombone, trumpet and alto sax, or trumpet and tenor sax — with the string orchestra or the full orchestra, so one purchase lets you feature a different soloist every season.

EPIC CHRISTMAS SERIES

TRUMPET SOLOIST SUITE

Everything a Trumpet Player Needs — $39

A $615 Total Value

A driving, cinematic arrangement of Carol of the Bells and God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen for solo trumpet, in D minor. The solo opens warm and low, ideally on flugelhorn, and finishes above the staff. Play it with a live pianist or with the included professional accompaniment tracks. Everything you need to perform it is here.

Sheet Music: The solo part in C and in B flat, so you play from the horn you own. Each comes in a standard version and a Virtuoso version, which takes the God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen episode up an octave and adds ornamentation. Four solo parts in all. Alongside them are four trumpet and piano combined scores pairing either solo version with a Late Intermediate or Advanced pianist, so whatever the pairing of player and pianist, there is a score for it.

Performance Accompaniment Tracks: The complete D minor accompaniment library, fourteen tracks for live performance. Full orchestral mixes and driving Standard mixes, across three revisions, with and without synth bass, with and without piano, so you can pick the exact sound for your venue. A piano and string orchestra mix is included for a more intimate setting. None of them contain the trumpet. You play the solo line live.

Rehearsal Tracks: Piano only accompaniment recordings at Advanced and Intermediate, so you can rehearse exactly what a live pianist would play before you step in front of an orchestra track.

Reference Recordings: All four trumpet and piano combinations recorded, standard and Virtuoso against each piano level, so you can hear the difference before you choose which one to program.

World-Class Production: An epic hybrid production featuring select members of the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, Steve Goold (Drums), Cory Wong (Guitars), and synth, loops and programming by Michael Nelson Rizzo (Epic Soul). Produced and arranged by Matt Riley.

EPIC CHRISTMAS SERIES

TRUMPET ENSEMBLE SUITE

Four Chamber Pairings, Eight Editions, a Rhythm Section Combo + the Complete Soloist Suite — $99

An $835 Total Value

Four different players you might have standing next to you, and a full edition for each. Trumpet with a second trumpet, with trombone, with alto sax, or with tenor sax, every one of them with piano. Each pairing ships in a standard and a Virtuoso edition, and every trumpet part comes in C and in B flat. Eight chamber editions in one bundle, with the complete Soloist Suite nested inside.

Two Trumpets & Piano: Parts for both players, each in C and in B flat, standard and Virtuoso. The two lines trade the melody and the fireworks, so neither player spends the piece accompanying the other. Combined scores at Advanced and Late Intermediate piano.

Trumpet, Trombone & Piano: The same arrangement with the second voice moved to trombone, which puts real weight under the trumpet in the low register. Trombone part in both editions, combined scores at both piano levels.

Trumpet, Alto Sax & Piano: A brighter, more agile second voice. Reads well for a jazz player who wants a concert feature.

Trumpet, Tenor Sax & Piano: Warmer and closer to the trumpet in range, so the two lines blend rather than contrast. The most idiomatic of the four for a church or school ensemble.

Rhythm Section Combo: Written Electric Guitar, Electric Bass and Drum Set parts plus a rhythm section chart, so you can add a rhythm section to any of the four pairings and get the driving sound of the recording in a room with four or five players.

Reference Recordings: Twelve recordings so you can hear the combinations before you choose one. Trumpet with trombone and trumpet with tenor saxophone are recorded at both piano levels, standard and Virtuoso. Two trumpets is recorded at Late Intermediate, standard and Virtuoso. Trumpet with alto saxophone is recorded at Late Intermediate, and at Advanced in the Virtuoso version. Hear the combination before you commit a rehearsal to it.

Every Way You Can Program It: Trumpet with a second trumpet, with trombone, with alto sax, or with tenor sax, each with piano, each in a standard or Virtuoso edition. Add the rhythm section to any of the four. Or scale down to trumpet and piano, or trumpet alone over a backing track. The complete Soloist Suite is included, so everything from the $39 tier comes with it: all four solo parts, all four trumpet and piano combined scores, the fourteen track accompaniment library, the rehearsal tracks and the reference recordings.

World-Class Production: An epic hybrid production featuring select members of the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, Steve Goold (Drums), Cory Wong (Guitars), and synth, loops and programming by Michael Nelson Rizzo (Epic Soul). Produced and arranged by Matt Riley.

EPIC CHRISTMAS SERIES

TRUMPET STRING ORCHESTRA SUITE

Solo Trumpet & String Orchestra, Score and Parts + Everything Below — $149

A $1,085 Total Value

The concerto with a string section behind it. A full conductor's score and the complete set of parts, so a school, church or community string orchestra can put a trumpet player out front. The whole Ensemble and Soloist library comes with it.

Score and Parts: Two conductor's scores, the standard and a Virtuoso Version printing the ornamented solo line, and every string part, supplied at 9x12 for the stand and at 8.5x11 for a home or church printer. The solo comes in C and in B flat, each in a standard and a Virtuoso version.

Violin III (Viola T.C.): The viola line written in treble clef, for the group that has more violinists than violists. A real problem for school orchestras, solved in the box.

Optional Piano: The piano accompaniment is provided at Late Intermediate and Advanced, each engraved as a full score with the solo line above it. So the piece performs three ways from one purchase: with string orchestra, with string orchestra and piano, or with piano alone.

Editable Source Files: MusicXML for the conductor's score, every string part, the Violin III alternate, the solo in C and the optional rhythm section. Open it in Finale, Sibelius or MuseScore and adjust it for the players you actually have.

Reference Recordings: Six recordings. The trumpet and string orchestra on its own and with each piano level, in both the standard and Virtuoso solo versions.

Program a Different Soloist Every Season: The accompaniment does not change with the soloist, so any of the four chamber pairings can be performed with the string orchestra instead of piano. The strings read the same conductor's score and the same parts either way; the soloists read their parts from the Ensemble Suite included here. Feature one trumpet this season, a trumpet duo the next, trumpet and trombone after that, or either saxophone pairing, in the standard or the Virtuoso edition. Buy it once and it keeps producing new programming for as long as you keep it in rotation.

Every Way You Can Program It: Solo trumpet with string orchestra, with or without piano, or with piano alone. Any of the four chamber pairings if you want a smaller feature on the same concert. Trumpet and piano for a recital or a service, or trumpet over a backing track. The complete Ensemble Suite, all four chamber pairings in eight editions plus the rhythm section combo, and the complete Soloist Suite with its full accompaniment library all come with it. Each one is its own engraved edition with its own score and parts, not a reduction of the big version.

World-Class Production: An epic hybrid production featuring select members of the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, Steve Goold (Drums), Cory Wong (Guitars), and synth, loops and programming by Michael Nelson Rizzo (Epic Soul). Produced and arranged by Matt Riley.

EPIC CHRISTMAS SERIES

TRUMPET SYMPHONY MASTER SUITE — STANDARD

The Full Orchestra Edition + the Entire Library Below — $399

A $1,360 Total Value

The complete orchestration, the one on the recording. A concerto style holiday showpiece for solo trumpet and full orchestra, with an optional rhythm section written into the score. Everything below it is included, so one purchase covers the orchestra concert, the chamber recital and the soloist with piano.

Two Conductor's Scores: Both at 11x17. The standard score, and a Virtuoso Version printing the ornamented solo line. The two are identical everywhere except the solo, so whichever version your player performs, the score on your podium matches what you hear. Most publishers make you choose. You get both.

The Complete Part Set: Every orchestral part supplied at both 9x12 and 8.5x11, so you can print for the stand or for a home printer. Full woodwinds with optional English Horn and Contrabassoon, four horns, three trumpets, three trombones, bass trombone and tuba, celeste, timpani, five percussion players plus a combined percussion score, and full strings. The solo part comes in C and in B flat, standard and Virtuoso.

Optional Rhythm Section: The rhythm section appears as a chart staff in the score, with written Electric Guitar, Electric Bass and Drum Set parts in the part set. Play it as a straight orchestral piece or bring in the drive of the recording.

Reference Recordings: The full orchestra recording with and without the rhythm section, in both the standard and Virtuoso solo versions.

Program a Different Soloist Every Season: The accompaniment does not change with the soloist, so any of the four chamber pairings can be performed with the full orchestra instead of piano. The orchestra reads the same two conductor's scores and the same set of parts either way; the soloists read their parts from the Ensemble Suite included here. Feature one trumpet this season, a trumpet duo the next, trumpet and trombone after that, or either saxophone pairing, in the standard or the Virtuoso edition. Buy it once and it keeps producing new programming for as long as you keep it in rotation.

Every Way You Can Program It: This is the real value of the tier. Full orchestra with your soloist, with or without the rhythm section. String orchestra with the soloist if the winds are thin or the room is small, with or without piano. Any of the four chamber pairings for a smaller event on the same season. Trumpet and piano for a recital or a service. Trumpet alone over a backing track. Every one of those is a complete engraved edition with its own conductor's score and parts, not a reduction of the big version, so you are not choosing a size when you buy. The complete String Orchestra Suite with its score, parts and MusicXML, the complete Ensemble Suite with all four chamber pairings and the rhythm section combo, and the complete Soloist Suite with the full fourteen track accompaniment library are all included.

World-Class Production: An epic hybrid production featuring select members of the St. Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, Steve Goold (Drums), Cory Wong (Guitars), and synth, loops and programming by Michael Nelson Rizzo (Epic Soul). Produced and arranged by Matt Riley.
