Originally published in 1915, Edwin Franko Goldman’s “Jupiter” solo is a fantastic vehicle to showcase a young Trombone/Baritone player. The level of difficulty being rather modest, this solo remains well accessible to a broad range of skill levels while retaining the flavor and showmanship of the early 20th Century’s band pieces.
The range compass is not extreme (only as high as a third ledger line“G” above the staff) and remains mostly diatonic in scope. Also, younger players can eliminate the trill in the cadenza, taking everything after the last middle “C” down an octave.
This exciting solo feature will be a great fit for your student!
Available as Brass Quintet versions for featired Trumpet/Cornet or Trombone/Baritone, or with piano accompaniment for Trumpet/Cornet Solo or Trombone/Baritone Solo
