Three Nordic Quartets

Composed for (and perfect for) junior high trumpeters, these three pieces (Moderato-joyfully, Adagio, and Allegro, in keys of written G, A minor, and F) feature engaging melodies with attractive harmonies, accompaniment figures, and little challenges for everyone. Well edited, including articulations and occasional fingering reminders. Each piece is about two minutes in duration. The first and third works were first introduced as a capella melodies in 2002 in "Twenty-one Norwegian Trumpet Soli," published by Wolfgang G. Haas-Musikverlag Koln e. K., and are used here by permission. The second melody and the arrangements for all three pieces are by James Olcott.
