My Journey with the Trumpet

Here is a short story (actually 2 of them). As you may or may not know if you’ve been following my music posts; ABBA is one of my all time favorite bands. I can’t recall precisely when I was hooked - and that’s exactly have far back I “can’t” remember 🙂 For me it is not a matter of nostalgia, but I actually always loved their music and lyrics that go with it. Beautiful memories, great songs and a fantastic group of artists so what more can one say. This is why I was a bit worried about ABBA’s comeback with their new album after many artists hit rock bottom when they attempt a similar endeavour. However once I heard the first song of the album (I Still Have Faith In You - with the rest of the album not yet released) my concerns just vanished in an instant and it felt exactly the same way when I heard ABBA’s music in the old days; so to sum up I’m absolutely thrilled with their comeback. Now to my 2nd/final short story and that is about deciding to do a playalong with this song. I enjoy playing ABBA music but this time I also wanted to arrange my performance in a way that is - in my opinion - appropriate for the piece. The problem was that I decided to use the French Horn as the main instrument and the cornet as secondary despite the fact that I am still relatively new to playing the French Horn (started this year) as opposed to the Trumpet, Cornet and Flugelhorn. I hope the effort overall is acceptable and I will continue to work on expanding my experience/repertoire when it comes to musical arrangement.

Thanks for your time, take care and hope you enjoy.

Brass Cover/PlayAlong (Tunes for the Trumpet, Flugelhorn, Mellophone & Cornet): These recordings demonstrate my absolute passion for all forms/genres/cultures of music and what better instrument to use in this quest but the Flugelhorn & Trumpet. This is one Journey I choose to take knowing full well that it is one that enriches my own soul and hoping it can inspire others to make a similar journey of their own; an experimentation worth every effort. I'd love to read your thoughts (good or bad) and who knows we can even collaborate virtually or otherwise on ensemble work. I am particularly keen to work with pianists and other soloists/singers, so maybe this a journey to be shared. Thanks for your visit, stay safe and come back soon.
