More about this title

About the Composer: Edgar I. Barrow

Edgar I. Barrow composed during the early-to-mid 20th century, a period when American wind band and solo instrumental music was establishing itself as a serious art form. His catalog includes numerous works for brass and woodwind soloists, many of which earned recognition through festival competitions and educational circuits.

Why we love this

Barrow's Tarantelle offers a spirited solo that balances technical demands with genuine musicality, making it engaging for both performer and audience. The piece earned selection as a Federation Festivals choice, a mark of its quality and pedagogical value for advancing trumpet students.

What to expect

A spirited Italian dance brimming with energy and rhythmic vitality. The tarantelle character propels the music forward with relentless momentum, punctuated by moments where the trumpet can breathe and sing.

Who it's for

Intermediate trumpet students seeking a substantial solo that demonstrates both technical facility and musicianship. This piece suits students preparing for solo competitions and festival performances who are ready to tackle Grade 3 demands.

How to get the most out of it

  • Shape the rapid scalar passages with light articulation; let the character emerge from clarity rather than force.
  • Balance the dialogue between lyrical sections and virtuosic runs by adjusting vibrato and dynamic intensity intentionally.
  • Work with your accompanist to lock the rhythmic drive of the tarantelle rhythm without rushing the ornamental figures.

How to use it

Feature this as a compelling solo performance at a spring concert or festival recital. Its energetic character pairs well in a program with slower, lyrical works, providing the kind of showpiece energy that keeps audiences engaged.

Skills your students will build

  • Technical articulation in rapid scalar passages
  • Rhythmic precision in tarantelle meter and syncopation
  • Balancing virtuosic display with musical phrasing
  • Sustaining embouchure control through extended runs
  • Stylistic interpretation of Italian dance forms
