Product Description
This solo feature for a quintet's trumpeter or cornetist is from the Golden Age of concert bands at the turn of the 20th century and was composed by legendary Sousa Band soloist Hebert L. Clarke. Clarke's impressive setting of "Carnival of Venice" remains the most frequently performed version of the theme and variations cornet solo first made famous by Arban. Contrasting the cornet soloist's pyrotechnics is a humorous trombone and tuba accompaniment. Scored for solo cornet or B-flat trumpet, another B-flat trumpet, horn with flugelhorn/trumpet alternate part, trombone or euphonium and tuba. The sound file is an actual brass quintet performance of the entire arrangement.
