Orchestral Transcriptions / Transpositions: Greig, Dvorak, Brahms
I’m not a classical or orchestral player by any means, but I recently had the honor of playing 2nd trumpet in a concert with the Woollahra Philharmonic Orchestra. My very first (and quite possibly my last) legitimate, serious orchestral experience!
Of course, none of the music was written for my instrument, B♭ trumpet. Most of it was written for E trumpet, also some for F and C trumpet. Generally speaking, classical trumpet players own instruments pitched in different keys, and/or can transpose readily at sight. Not me. I needed a few weeks before my first rehearsal to transpose every fiddly part for B♭ trumpet before I could play my first note with the orchestra.
Although I anticipate no demand for these whatsoever, here are my transposed parts anyway. Complete with the JazzText font, to make me feel at home while playing in an alien setting 🙂
Note: The original parts in their original keys were downloaded copyright-free from IMSLP, so I don’t envisage any copyright considerations for my transposition of those same parts.

Jain – Come (Extended Version)
I previously transcribed and recorded the single version of this lovely song. The extended version features some darker sounding brass lines and is a little less cheery than its shorter counterpart. The extended harmony vocals get a solid workout and sound very nice.

AVICII – Hey Brother
I was asked to play this but never did. Nice lyrics, and although it’s not in a style that I like to play it sounds like a nice song. On the original recording, the “trumpet” part is sequenced or played on keys, octaves apart. This chart could be doubled on tenor sax to achieve similar results.

The Strumbellas – Spirits
When I was asked to play this song I couldn’t hear a single trumpet note to transcribe from the backing track. Then someone pointed it out to me: one SINGLE trumpet note. Maybe two. But they were damn near impossible to hear.
It’s a cool song and I wanted to contribute, so without dominating or overpowering the vocalists, I wrote a few lines for it. And since the trumpet parts are limited to the song’s climactic end I chose not to count nearly 3 minutes of rest and started this transcription where we come in…
