Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child - Trumpet Octet w/Percussion

Spirituals have found their way into the standard repertoire of vocalists and instrumentalists. The lyrical tunes combined with the powerful message they tell affect us all. In this arrangement all parts are interesting and the jazz harmonies and use of harmon mutes add a really great colour to this famous tune. This is a flugel horn feature throughout with muted trumpets in an accompanying role. This piece was premiered at the 2004 International Trumpet Guild conference in Denver, Colorado.
