Sonata in D Major for Two Trumpets and Organ, Giuseppe Tartini,
Vivace Press, 1998
This three movement sonata is a delightful showcase for two trumpets and any keyboard instrument. In the typical Baroque style, the trumpets imitate each other and interweave throughout all movements. The gracious Andante is followed by a perky Minuetto and a sparkling and vivacious final movement. This arrangement is based on one of Tartini’s famous sonatas for two violins.

Sonata in C Major for Two Trumpets and Organ, Arcangelo Corelli,
Vivace Press, 1998
Playful imitations between the two trumpets characterize the prelude of this three movement sonata. The second and third movements are based on dance movements. The Allemande is stately and rhythmic, with dotted figures, while the Gigue abounds with energy and delightful sequences. Equally successful on organ, piano, or harpsichord.

Sonatas for Violin and Piano, Margarethe Danzi, Vivace Press, 1996
These sonatas were written by the German composer, pianist, and singer Maria Margarethe Danzi (1768-1800) She lived in the same house as Mozart and received piano and composition lessons from his father Leopold. The memorable melodies, clear phrases, and graceful ornamentation of all three sonatas are characteristic of the late Viennese classical style.

What is the World to Me for Brass and Organ, Bach, Vivace Press, 1994
Organists will love this rhythmic, pulsing arrangement, taken from Cantata 129. A serene statement of the chorale is bracketed by joyous outer sections in which the brass play the chorale straight, and the organist provides the countermelody. As much fun to play as it is to listen to.

We Offer Thanks and Praise for Two Trumpets and Organ, Bach, Vivace Press, 1994
This is a rollicking arrangement of a duet from Cantata 134, written by J.S. Bach for a special Easter Sunday in Leipzig in 1724. It is sure to add a festive touch to weddings and Festival Days, and it can turn a simple Sunday service into a musical event.

Arias for Trumpet and Organ, Bach, Vivace Press, 1992
Harbach’s previous transcriptions for trumpet and organ have been called “brilliantly written and magnificent to hear” Sacred Music. These popular transcriptions are the latest from this well-known Bach performer who is “in the front rank of those who practice in the Baroque art in this country, if not the world” The New Records.
