The Trumpet of the Lord
The Trumpet of the Lord is a book of over 100 trumpet descants for familiar Christian hymns. They are written to be played by trumpet along with congregation singing, or can be used as solos for church. The accompaniment can be played directly from a standard hymn book (not provided) either as written or with the typical embellishments many pianists or organists do, as long as the basic harmony is not altered.
Most of the descants are for one (Bb) trumpet, but a few are written for two and three trumpets. The level of skill required of the performer would vary depending on the hymn, but the typical ones require at least the level of a good high school musician.
Many of the descants are of a heroic fanfare style. Many, because of the nature of the hymn for which they were written, are subdued as an added counter-melody. Most are intended to be played only on the last verse of the hymn when done with congregational singing, but the melody in the Bb trumpet's key is also provided for the player to utilize on the preceding verses as desired.
The book also contains a brief history of the biblical trumpets especially the shofar (ram's horn) along with a script for doing the rite of blowing the shofar for a worship service. There is also a chapter on how to make a shofar out of a ram's horn.
The book of 120 pages with spiral binding can be ordered from Park Bench Publishing. The cost is $20.00 plus $2.50 shipping and handling for a total of $20. Preferred payment is by PayPal or check.
