Arranger: Olcott, James L.
Number of Trumpets: 12
Duration: 3 minutes and 48 seconds

The two optional piccolo parts are not demanding at all (only one high D), but are there for color and add to the emotional impact of this setting.
ITG Journal, March 2022, page 81:

An excellent and fun arrangement for both player and audience of this classic march. Inspired by the use of the march in the movie, "Bridge on the River Kwai," mouthpieces replace the iconic whistling introduced in the movie. The recording says it all. Really really fun with an infectious feel.

From the Christmas Oratorio. An amazing piece of intertwining lines and duet figures that make this work especially fun for both the players and the audience. Carefully edited with particular care to articulation and phrasing.
ITG Journal, January 2023, page 71:
(Because of Olcott's writing)...it is no surprise that this edition is of excellent quality with several editorial decisions that elevate the piece. This piece features some intricate lines, often in sixteenth notes and very often in duets within the ensemble. From an arrangement perspective, the lines lend themselves well to the trumpet. ...great care in creating suggested articulations for the ensemble...

TRP-162 Fanfare for Trumpets (12 trumpets) [5] Chamberlain, R.

Composer: Chamberlain, Ronald
Number of Trumpets: 12
Key: C Major concert
Duration: 3 minutes and 15 seconds
Difficulty: 5
FANFARE FOR TRUMPETS is a study of nine short melodic snippits presented separately in echo, traded between two trumpet quartets and a flugelhorn quartet, developed, fragmented and piled up on top of one another in this most unusual and fascinating composition. The piece is a challenge in counting, style, and dynamics for the players, and a crowd pleaser that easily holds the audience's attention.
ITG Journal, October 2019, page 111:
"Fanfare for Trumpets...is a study of nine short melodic ideas. As the listener follows these melodic fragments throughout the piece, he or she observes how the fragments are presented in echo, passed between the three quartets, and developed and combined in this unusual, yet undeniably charming composition." "...(the piece) represents a welcome departure from some of the tropes of the literature available for trumpet ensemble"..."artistically challenging and rewarding and would be wonderful addition to any recital."

TRP-193 Hava Nagila (12 trumpets) [4] traditional, (. (Olcott)

Composer: traditional, (Israeli)
Arranger: Olcott, James L.
Number of Trumpets: 12
Key: G Minor concert
Duration: 3 minutes and 22 seconds
Difficulty: 4
The ever-popular traditional Israeli song of celebration. Excellent and infectious spirit. Great for holiday seasons and celebratory/festive occasions. Also great as an encore. Really fun to play. RE the bass trumpet thing: Slip in a euphonium in its place and it will work fine. The heaviness of the bass in the slow sections as the piece gets going really makes the piece dramatic.

Composer: Fillmore, Henry
Transcriber: Olcott, James L.
Number of Trumpets: 16
Key: F Major concert
Duration: 2 minutes and 50 seconds
Difficulty: 6
One of Henry Fillmore's most famous and fun marches. Four B-flat piccolo trumpets, 10 B-flat trumpets, and two flugelhorns. Great fun to play. Two obligatos for the trio section are provided: Fillmore's original and a special trumpet obligato by the transcriber (the latter turns the difficulty rating to a 7, but what a challenge :-) The microphone icon on the left is the full recording with Fillmore's original obligato, which is a lot easier to play than it sounds. The microphone on the right is the trio section of the march with the trumpet obligato.

Composer: Verbytsky, Mykhailo Mykhailovych
Arranger: Olcott, James L.
Number of Trumpets: 12
Key: F Minor concert
Duration: 1 minute and 25 seconds
Difficulty: 3
FREE. Eight Bb trumpets, four flugelhorns, percussion. This arrangement can be performed as a solo, as a duet, as a trio, etc, up to eight trumpets, by adding the next part in the score. The four flugelhorn parts add depth and padding to the sound. In this conception of the anthem, it is to start out symbolizing a country alone, quiet but iron-willed, clear of mind, determined and resolved, to be quickly joined by more and more forces as the piece progresses, building to a climax of strength, unity, and defiance.

TRP-175 Portrait of a Trumpet (15 trumpets) [6] Nestico, S. (Olcott)

Composer: Nestico, Sammy
Arranger: Olcott, James L.
Number of Trumpets: 15
Accompaniment: 14-part trumpet ensemble
Key: G Major concert
Duration: 5 minutes
Difficulty: 6
A beautiful and colorfully arranged piece for solo trumpet. Jazz oriented chords and lots of color underlie a very lyrical melody and intertwining lines. One of the trumpet classics. For solo trumpet in Bb, three piccolo trumpets in Bb, two Eb trumpets, four Bb trumpets, four flugelhorns, and optional but highly recommended low brass part (originally written for bass trumpet), and optional percussion. The wide variety of tone colors in this piece is achieved by careful and conscious unison doublings of lines between the differently pitched instruments, so it is very important that all the parts are covered, each with the instruments of designated pitches. A terrific crowd pleaser and not very tough on the soloist (grade 4). The piece is set at difficulty grade 6 because of the accompaniment.

Composer: Moser, Franz
Editor: Olcott, James L.
Number of Trumpets: 12
Key: C Major concert
Duration: 8 minutes
Difficulty: 8
Edited for 3 C trumpets, 9 B-flat trumpets and bass trumpet (trombone can substitute). One of the best of the classic pieces for trumpet ensemble. All of the elements are here: excellent lines, challenging interplay, great rhythmic vitality, and harmonic interest. Challenging for every player.
ITG Journal, February 2003, page 41:
"Commencing with a pulsing exchange between the quartets and climaxing in a grand cadence of heroic proportions, Scherzo is ripe with potential for audience appeal. Listeners are carried to peak after peak, let down gently, and allowed to follow the ascent once more. Based upon the inherent musical merit of the piece, its pedagogical worth, and the high quality printing characteristic of Triplo Press, the list price should not be a deterent to placing Moser's Scherzo in libraries and on programs with regularity.

Composer: Anderson, Leroy
Transcriber: Olcott, James L.
Number of Trumpets: 16
Key: Bb Major concert
Duration: 1 minute and 54 seconds
Difficulty: 5
A very fun an effective work. Technical demands in the melody line are what you would expect in this very famous piece, and the line is beautifully placed on E-flat trumpets. Playing the piece on the horns listed has a great effect on color, and a great - and fun - challenge for the players.
The other surprise with this arrangement is the percussion section, played by three trumpet players using their instruments to simulate the typewriter keystrokes, carriage bell and carriage return. Instructions are including in the publication. Listen to the recording to hear the effect and check out the treble clef sign next to the microphone to the right in this window. The piece can be played in the traditional manner with an actual typewriter (thus 13 rather than 16 trumpeters), but the other way is so much more fun...
