[PRCo] Re: Merry Christmas

[Dennis F. Cramer]

The Trumpet Shall sound is indeed a movement towards the end of Messiah. 
Handle used the King James version for his libretto in that oratorio and I 
arranged it for piccolo trumpet, trombone, harpsichord, & cello.  My wife, 
college roommate from IUP days, my teaching colleague at Ford City, & myself 
performed it on my retirement recital in May 2008.  It is too long to post 
to YouTube.  Brahms also used the text in his Requiem.
Here is link to see 1 Corinthians 15:52 in any translation you want, 
including Greek, the original.

The Episcopal Church in Kittanning is one of the few that did not break with 
the traditional church.  Virtually the rest of the diocese formed a new 
version.  There has been quite a bit of turmoil.  Since I am Presbyterian, I 
have not followed it all that closely.  As a musician, I go to where the 
work is but also take part in the service.

Read pages 151-152 of David M Guion's book on the trombone:

I have played trombone in a wide variety of venues and vehicles, including 
NOPSI 832 at PTM for the roll out ceremony after her rebuilding about 10 or 
so years ago.  We played When the Saints Go Marching In on board as she was 
driven out of the shop.
