For one B-flat piccolo trumpet, eight B-flat trumpets and optional timpani. A highly rewarding, very exciting and complex piece that has lines flying and intertwining everywhere. Great for working on ensemble playing while playing independent lines. Style and understanding of Baroque phrasing is critical for successful performance. What a great piece (listen to the recording, especially on earphones or external speakers!).
ITG Journal, October 2021, page 114:
"...a positive and unique addition to the trumpet ensemble repertoire. The exciting nature of the work lends it to function well as a trumpet ensemble recital opener or closer..." "The dense scoring may create performance challenges; however, once balanced, the Sonata's playful and bold character will surely please both performers and audience."

TRP-167 The Standard [4] Olcott, J.

Composer: Olcott, James L.
Number of Trumpets: 10
Key: Eb Major concert
Duration: 2 minutes and 37 seconds
Difficulty: 4
A lively and fun march that owes its name due to its inspiration, namely the most standard work in the trumpet literature, the Trumpet Concerto in E-flat by Franz Joseph Haydn. Most every phrase and harmonic sequence is a direct descendant of some passage in the trumpet's most well-known solo composition.
ITG Journal, March 2019, page 99:
"James Olcott has been providing quality arrangements for trumpet ensemble for many years. With The Standard, however, Olcott contributes his own work in the form of a march for ten-piece trumpets ensemble (in B-flat) based on the most standard piece in our repertoire—the Haydn Trumpet Concerto. Some passages are cleverly subtle, as in the opening theme that incorporates quotations from the first and second movements. Others are much more obvious, as in the trio in which material from the third movement is prominently featured. As a part of Triplo Press's Patriotic Series... "this enjoyable piece could be included in any patriotic or trumpet ensemble program with younger students or more accomplished players." This celebration of our instrument's most well-known work will delight any audience..."

A beautiful rendition of the classic. For solo B-flat trumpet, one piccolo trumpet in B-flat, six B-flat trumpets and two flugelhorns. The piece can be played on all B-flat trumpets, but it is much more effective when using the trumpets as designated.

TRP-150 Trumpets [5] Olcott, J.

Composer: Olcott, James L.
Number of Trumpets: 10
Key: F concert
Duration: 2 minutes and 37 seconds
Difficulty: 5
An original medium tempo concert march in 6/8 in the style of Sousa. Arpeggiated duets in the B and C sections of the work highlight the "trumpet" aspect of the piece, and it is a great deal of fun to play and listen to. For clearest effect, flugelhorns are suggested for parts nine and ten, and an E-flat trumpet is preferred over a B-flat trumpet or B-flat piccolo trumpet for part five so as to help blend and balance. An alternate part for E-flat trumpet is provided in this publication for part five. "Trumpets" is the first original work written specifically for trumpet ensemble in the traditional march style, and was penned for and premiered by the Twin Cities Trumpet Ensemble of Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota, USA to high enthusiasm.
