| Those are all great pieces posted so far...I enjoy playing those pieces. I'm glad someone mentioned Roman Carnival -- I had lots of fun playing it.
Here's a few others with some great trumpet parts:
Respighi - lots of nice, tasty off-stage solos and section stuff (and major endurance and range stuff): Pines of Rome, Feste Romane, Church Windows, Brazilian Impressions, Fountains of Rome, to name a few major ones.
Sibelius: Finlandia (double tonguing and sonorous brass chorale sections)
Tchaikovsky: Nutcracker (Chocolat has that nice trumpet solo)
BTW, this is a great weekend to be at Ravinia, as the CSO will be performing both the Pictures (July 7) and Verdi Requiem (July 8). I'm really looking forward to these performances. It'll be interesting to see where they will place the antiphonal trumpets in the Verdi.
