Selected Duets for Trumpet Podcast
David Summer
David Summer plays Selected Duets for Trumpet. Using his home recording studio, David has recorded some of the duets from the book Selected Duets for Trumpet, Volume 1 Edited by H.Voxman. These trumpet duets are standard learning material for trumpet students taking trumpet lessons and can be fun to play for all trumpet players. In addition to being educational, the duets may also be used by two trumpets in performance. They are especially effective for brass players who are playing wedding ceremonies, church services and other occasions calling for majestic or elegant brass music. This podcast contains the recordings of both trumpet parts, played as a duet. As a resource for trumpet students and trumpet teachers, David has also recorded each of these duets in a trumpet 2 only version that can be used as a play along. The matching trumpet 2 only version for each of these recordings can be found on the Trumpet Podcast page of David's website at www.summersong.net.

Selected Duets for Trumpet, Page 11 Number 3, There Rode Three Horsemen, performed by David Summer. Similar in style to the duet entitled Hunting Scene and also played as 6/8 "in 2". It can be a challenge for a student to properly subdivide the rhythms in this duet. Particularly the 5 beats represented in the dotted quarter tied to a quarter note. Because it's a short duet, I've repeated the entire duet and the metronome setting for this performance is dotted quarter note = 76.
Page44 #10, Gigue

10/10/10 • 1 min
Selected Duets for Trumpet, Page 44 Number 10, Gigue, performed by David Summer. This second duet in the series of duets by Boismortier is another Gigue and again it's in 6/8 time at a fast tempo, played "in 2". The student may be challenged by the tied over dotted quarter notes in the last part of the piece. Once more, the student has to be able to hear continuous eighth notes in order to place all the eighths correctly. In this case, that's helped by the fact that the second trumpet part is playing eighths under the first trumpet dotted quarter notes. There are also several "question and answer" sections, as we've seen in previous duets. The duet is in the key of G with a brief foray in a minor in the middle and g minor at the end. The metronome setting for this performance is dotted quarter note = 88.
Page39 #5, Tamburin

Selected Duets for Trumpet, Page 39 Number 5, Tamburin, performed by David Summer. Nicolas Chédeville was an 18 century French composer who wrote many pieces for the musette or hurdy-gurdy. This duet, with its many scale passages, was probably well suited to the amateur hurdy gurdy players who were the target audience of Chédeville. Many passages in this duet are musical echoes. Repeating one or two measures, with the repeated passage being played at a softer dynamic, manifests the echo quality. The title, Tamburin, probably refers to a tambourine. The tambourine is a percussion instrument that has been used for hundreds of years. It was probably last commonly used in western music in the 1960’s as part of pop-rock. The metronome setting for this performance is quarter note = 92.
Page38 #4, Rondo

Selected Duets for Trumpet, Page 38 Number 4, Rondo, performed by David Summer. Michel de la Barre, the composer of this duet, was also a famous flutist. He is credited with being the first composer to publish music for solo flute. This duet does have a somewhat delicate, flute-like quality to it. The duet is in the key of F# minor, with a brief foray into C# minor, and contains several E sharps and B sharps that should be pointed out to the student. This is a good opportunity for the teacher to review the concept of enharmonic notes. The held-over notes in lines 3 and 6 may also present a rhythmic challenge for a student. The teacher may want to assign both parts of this duet to a student since both parts are generally of equal melodic importance. The metronome setting for this performance is quarter note = 108.
Page30 #5, Allegretto

05/16/10 • 1 min
Selected Duets for Trumpet, Page 30 Number 5, Allegretto, performed by David Summer. This is the last duet in the series of 5 duets by French composer Pierre François Clodomir. The teacher should take the opportunity to point out the various scales and arpeggios that are clearly present here. The student may need to be cautioned not to let the tempo run away on the 16th note runs and to watch the key change on the second page. Again, a light tongue is helpful here. The metronome setting for this performance is dotted quarter note = 80.
Page27 #3, Allegretto
Selected Duets for Trumpet Podcast
04/18/10 • 1 min
Selected Duets for Trumpet, Page 27 Number 3, Allegretto, performed by David Summer. This next duet by French composer Pierre Clodomir consists of 6 short sections, with a key change in the middle of the duet. The second to last line also changes key, to D major, although the change is not noted in the key signature. An inexperienced student may be challenged by the Trumpet One rhythms in the second half of the duet being different from those in the Trumpet Two part. The metronome setting for this performance is quarter note = 120.
Page20 #17, Andante

12/27/09 • 1 min
Selected Duets for Trumpet, Page 20 Number 17, Andante, performed by David Summer. This duet is simply entitled Andante, which translates roughly to "at a walking pace". The second part of the piece makes use of a simple, but effective descending line in the Trumpet 2 part, which nicely offsets the Trumpet 1 melody line. The metronome setting for this performance is quarter note = 92.
Page8 #8, Rustic March
Selected Duets for Trumpet Podcast

Selected Duets for Trumpet, Page 8 Number 8, Rustic March, performed by David Summer. The second trumpet starts both of the first 2 sections of this march. The third section of the march (the "Trio" section) changes key, as is typical in a march. What is not typical here is that the key change is usually to the subdominant (one flat added). Here the change is key is to the dominant (one flat is removed). The trio section in this march duet is typical however, in that it is in a contrasting style to the rest of the march. For this performance, the repeats are not taken, but the Da Capo is and the metronome setting is quarter note = 108.

Selected Duets for Trumpet, Page 7 Number 7, Minuet, performed by David Summer. A minuet is a social dance of French origin, for two people, in 3/4 time. This simple, but elegant, minuet has the trumpet 2 part echoing the trumpet 1 part a fifth lower in several places. The metronome setting for this performance is quarter note = 112.
Page43 #9, Allegretto

09/26/10 • 1 min
Selected Duets for Trumpet, Page 43 Number 9, Allegretto, performed by David Summer. Joseph Bodin de Boismortier was a French composer active in the first half of the 1700s. Boismortier was one of the first composers to make an income from publishing his compositions rather than writing for a patron. Up until that time, financially successful composers wrote compositions, often on demand, for wealthy patrons. These patrons were usually royalty. Boismortier was the first French composer to use the Italian concerto form, in his six concertos for five flutes op. 15. For this performance, only the first repeat is taken and the metronome setting is eigth note = 112.
