TRIPLO PRESS, established by James Olcott in in 1988, publishes exclusively, except for the Companion Series, music for trumpet ensembles with its mission and goal stated on the front page of the company's website:
"The primary mission and goal of Triplo Press is the issuance of trumpet ensemble music of the highest musical quality which follows the criteria of realistic accessibility within the given grade level and offers the player and audience alike a positive musical experience."
To date there are well over 100 works, ranging from three to 36 trumpets, that encompass all genres and difficulties and feature composers from around the world from the Renaissance to young and upcoming stars. Triplo Press has been highly praised over the years for the quality and scope of its publications.
"It all began," says J.O., as he is known by students and friends, "with my wanting to give my students some quality experience in working as a section. There were very few quality works for multiple trumpets on the market at that time, so I tried my hand at writing and arranging. Exposure of these pieces at concerts and masterclasses created interest from friends and colleagues, and it was not long before I was making copies of the pieces for them. I am uncertain if actually publishing the pieces was my own or someone else's idea, but doing the publication, which involves all sorts of areas, including writing, arranging and transcribing, editing, page and publication layout, graphic design, print and pdf considerations, is a great deal of fun and an ongoing challenge for me. It is an intense pleasure to hear and see the publications used and enjoyed."
"I am delighted that the genre has taken off over the last 20 years, and there are many new, transcribed and arranged works now available to the general public, and I am very proud to be a part of the trumpet ensemble's growth and acceptance as a viable and exciting performance and pedagogical entity."
Triplo Press's name, incidentally, is derived from the first letters of J.O.'s last name and his home town of Oxford, Ohio: triple "O" condensed. It also allows the abbreviation of TRP.
