About this listen

 Selected Duets for Trumpet, Page 39 Number 5, Tamburin, performed by David Summer. Nicolas Chédeville was an 18 century French composer who wrote many pieces for the musette or hurdy-gurdy. This duet, with its many scale passages, was probably well suited to the amateur hurdy gurdy players who were the target audience of Chédeville. Many passages in this duet are musical echoes. Repeating one or two measures, with the repeated passage being played at a softer dynamic, manifests the echo quality. The title, Tamburin, probably refers to a tambourine. The tambourine is a percussion instrument that has been used for hundreds of years. It was probably last commonly used in western music in the 1960’s as part of pop-rock. The metronome setting for this performance is quarter note = 92.
