Description:
For a long time, Camille Saint-Saëns was reluctant to compose a chamber music work with trumpet for his friend Émile Lemoine and his chamber music association "La Trompette": "I can write you a concerto for twenty-five guitars [...] but for trumpet? Impossible." He finally gave in and wrote a Préambule in 1880 and the four further movements of the "Septuor" for trumpet, two violins, viola, violoncello, double bass and piano a year later. With its neo-baroque tonal language, the work enjoyed great popularity during Saint-Saëns' lifetime, which repeatedly surprised the composer.
In addition to a conductor's score with introduction (English/French/German) and the Critical Report (English), a set of all seven individual parts is available, with two parts for trumpet in low E flat (original) and in B flat. Additional string parts can also be ordered separately, so that performances with double or choral string sections (as was usual in Saint-Saëns' time) are possible.
