Fanfare for the Eagle
for Brass Trio (Trumpet, Horn & Trombone/Euphonium)
by M Ryan Taylor
I’m posting this mostly ‘just for fun.’ This was my first brass piece, written in High School for my Boy Scout Eagle Court of Honor (if you know what that is, congratulations). The interesting trio combination was chosen because 3 of my brothers were the players at the event. For you theory buffs, you will note there are some spacing errors, but this was before I’d had any theory classes at all. All in all, I think it works, even if it is a little bit rough around the corners.

I created these transcriptions in 2000 and sold them for quite a while with good success on ebay. So, why am I offering them for free now? I just don’t have time for ebay selling on a regular basis.

Notes from the Editor:
I have transcribed these solos with the original baroque tempo and phrasing marks; they are very minimal and leave the performers a wide berth for interpretation. Baroque style allows for certain amount of improvisation from the soloist and I suggest you experiment with appoggiaturas, trills, suspensions, etc. Several places have been marked as suggested cadenzas. The third selection in this edition uses a version from one of Handel’s performance scores. The fourth selection omits the minor b-section of the solo and replaces it with a closing cadenza instead of repeating the a-section.
