Piece Description

Fast and furious with all the excitement expected in a finale. Good luck! Arranged by Tom Whitehurst and suitable for colleges, conservatories, professionals, amateurs and community performing groups.

Review: "Here are three short pieces featuring members of the brass family, arranged effectively by British trumpeter Tom Whitehurst. The famous tenor aria by Leoncavallo features the horn. The part peaks at g" and offers a nice opportunity for quintets in school concerts to demonstrate the lyrical and passionate capabilities of our instrument. Likewise, L'Elephant features the tuba with similar deftness. The Finale, familiar to many as the dance of the flamingos in the Disney movie Fantasia, places the burden on first trumpet, though all instruments have moments of excitement in this fast and furious arrangement. While high school level players should be able to comfortably handle the first two pieces, the suggested tempo of the Finale may require more proficiency to pull off. Whitehurst clearly knows what he is doing, and I am happy to recommend these to any quintet that plays school concerts." – Jeffrey Snedeker in The Horn Call, May 2013

The work is tonal with some note clusters, providing a contemporary edge to its character, while its style alludes to the French school of writers.
