Brass Chamber Music During Covid - Boston Trumpets

     The impact that the Covid-19 pandemic had on the musical world was deep and impactful. It stopped the world to a halt and demanded that musicians be flexible and find new ways to create and share their product with patrons. Since live performing was a far cry away from meeting with social distancing standards, a new solution had to be formulated. This began a trend of people creating their own home recordings, either collaborating with others via digital file sharing, or creating their own projects. 

    Below is an arrangement of Bugler's Holiday, and piece written originally for 3 trumpets and orchestra by composer Leroy Anderson. It has been arranged here for 4 trumpets and is being played by the trumpet section of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. The piece is a lively and iconic trumpet trio composed by American composer Leroy Anderson in 1954. Known for his light orchestral pieces, Anderson had a talent for blending classical precision with popular appeal. Bugler's Holiday showcases his gift for bright, upbeat melodies and crisp orchestration, often featuring three trumpeters performing intricate, playful passages that mimic the style of traditional bugle calls. Originally written for The Boston Pops Orchestra under conductor Arthur Fiedler, the piece has since become a favorite among trumpet ensembles and concert bands around the world.

Brass Chamber Music During Covid - Metropolitan Opera Brass and bell covers!!!

      One thing that being a student during the pandemic meant, especially as someone who relies on air to make my instrument work, was protective equipment was required to make playing my instrument safe around others in a time where being in close contact was still experimental and even a little taboo. The way this protective equipment, or PPE as it was called, manifested for me was in the form of a mask (pretty standard) and a bell cover, essentially a trumpet diaper. In the included video below, you can observe the musicians instruments adorned with these covers, which are Met branded meaning they are way cooler than the ones my undergraduate institution made us use! In all seriousness, outdoor rehearsals and bell covers were a new reality, at least for a little while, and they presented novel challenges. The bell covers, though made of a thin and stretchy material, totally changed the blow of the trumpet for me, and presented some serious calibration issues, especial...

Brass Chamber Music During Covid - Matt Barker

Image
      Matthew Barker is currently the 4th/utility trumpet with the Baltimore Symphony, as position which he's held since the 2016-2017 season. Like many other musicians, he found himself with very little to do once his orchestra closed its doors at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic in early 2020. The following video is a trumpet chamber piece he wrote and recorded himself, while at home during the global lockdown. Pay attention to the art style and intentional recording style being used here. A trend that began to emerge in peoples content around this time was experimental/interesting camera work, to try to be unique from the pack and get eye on their work. A cursory understanding of how to work a camera soon became a common expectation around people who recorded themselves for online content.

Brass Chamber Music During Covid - Brass of the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra

Image
      Some larger groups also banded together during this time to do some socially distanced recording projects, some of which were done in person (at a safe distance) in the home hall of whatever orchestra was recording. One group that opted for this route was the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestras brass section, comprised of members of the orchestra, and occasionally subs. The following recordings were made during the pandemic, when most orchestras were not playing at all. This trend of recording during this time really helped to boost the moral of musicians, especially those that were fearful for the future of their careers.           The ensemble started out with recordings such as the one above, published on Youtube on April 10, 2020. Though short, it showed that during the lockdown these musicians were still inspired to make music, and obviously working on ways to make that happen with their newly acquired free time. Through these projects ...
