    This demo is for the trumpet ensemble, which is trumpets à 3, not the fanfare trumpets which are à 6. In this piece, The Dancing Clown, I treated it as a trumpet à 2 with, to a certain degree, the same flexibility as a solo trumpet but with more body.

    - Just a reminder that the trumpet part is done completely with the VSL download library which is a reduced version of the full lib, so what you hear in this (and in all the other download pieces I've been presenting), is not using all the articulations but just a selection. The complete lib offers a much more elaborate palette of articulations.

    There's nothing clownish about the piece. I can easily imagine a clown doing his/her routine. The title fits with the work like hand in glove. Curiously, I feel the piece is a bit melancholic...there's something Parisian (= from Paris, France) about it. Maybe it's a French clown. Thanks for letting me listen to this lovely music.
