Zadok the Priest

GordonH · 01-12-2007, 10:04 AM

Does anyone have this an excerpts book?
Its been a while since I played it.
I think its scored for natural trumpet in C but I remember playing it on a D trumpet.

Does anyone know if the transposed versions are widely played?
Some choirs do it in different keys in arranegments apparently.

D trumpet is a good choice. I played it with Marriner YEARS ago... shouldn't be a problem at all for you.

Thanks Manny
I remember it having arpeggios in it near the end.
I can't remember why I played it on a D trumpet but there must have been a reason.
Its from my "pre operaration" period.
I had a throat operation in 1996 and they had problems getting me intubated and I was without oxygene for a while.
I lost a fair bit of memory, there are about two years from 94 to 96 where I have very little fuzzy memory of what I did.
Thats my excuse anyway...

Gordon -
I believe that this is in one of the volumes of the Musica Rara Complete Handel Works set, not sure which volume but I can check when I get home and let you know then if you need it.
I played is several years ago with a small church orchestra and it seems to me that the part was for C trumpet and in the key of D Major. I think that I might have used a pic because of the size of the orchestra, but a D trpt would work great.

Yes, I have the complete Bach but not the Handel. I was wondering what volume it was in in the Handel set.
What you are saying makes sense. That might well be why I played it on D trumpet. I am essentially lazy and at the time I did have a C trumpet so if it was in C thats what I would have used (probably).

Zadok the Priest is in Volume 3 of the Handel Complete Trumpet Repertoire published by Musica Rara. If you are in need of a copy of this pm me and I think that I might be able to help you out.
