| I have had success venturing into the vocal art-song repertoire (non-opera), piano repertoire and jazz rep.
Some music that I have played in recitals include works by Gabriel Faure (Les Berceaux, Apres un Reve, Les Rose de Ispahan), Aaron Copland (Vocalise, and "At the River" from Old American Songs), Claude Debussy ("Little Shepherd" and "Golliwogs Cakewalk from The Childrens Corner) and Duke Ellington (Come Sunday).
All of these were just taken from the actual vocal parts, with the exception of the Debussy, which I transcribed for piccolo trpt.
Jens Lindemann and Bob Sullivan have done lots of transcriptions on their solo records, including really great versions of Three Preludes by George Gershwin.
Also check out a record by Ray Mase called Vocalise. It's a recording comprised of all vocal transcriptions. The cd is available from Summit Records (DCD-185).
Amanda Pepping published a collection of Spanish Songs for trumpet and piano by composers such as De Falla, Albeniz and Granados. The collection is available at Hickman Music Editions and she recorded them on her first record, Amanda, which is also available from Summit records (DCD-433) |
