Variations on Blue Bells of Scotland

This folk song has been arranged in a theme and variations format for a solo trumpet (or cornet). The band plays the accompaniment figures as well as the break strains. The solo part is very reasonable (similar to the version in the back of the Arban’s) and sounds harder than it is. This is a great piece for showing off that talented soloist in your ensemble. It has been arranged for a brass ensemble consisting of 4 trumpets(solo+3), 2 horns, 3 trombones, euphonium, 2 tubas and percussion.
