Skylinersop16 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I wanted to post and get some ideas for a piece to play for mellophone for DCA I&E this year. I was originally going to do Don Ellis' Loss on soprano but I couldn't get it to sound right unless it was on my trumpet which I don't want to take. So I have a 2 valve G mello and I want to do some sort of ballad type number. I don't care about how technical it is since I have no shot of winning, I just want to play. Any ideas?

C.Holland Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Strauss' Nocturne. I'm not sure it will work on only two valves, but its a great ballad, with some techincality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornsUp Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Angel Eyes, in G minor. Don Ellis did it (with ¼ tones). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
