Homage d’ Abeille

FUN FACT:

The bee appears on over 250 coins from ancient Greece (above coin from Ancient Ephesus).

As the summer comes to a close, think how many times you saw a bee busily going about his chores in a garden, park or field. There are a number of musical tributes to bees. Musicians often perform Flight of the Bumble-Bee by Rimsky-Korsakov and this includes trumpet players too (movies and TV – think Green Hornet)! You will need to be at the top of your game and be very familiar with your chromatic scales. The Arban Complete Method- pages 76 – 86 would be a great place to start your study of chromatic scales. If you have Clarke’s Technical Studies for the Cornet, Series/Study #1 & #7 would also be of value. Remember to start slowly and increase your speed. Snap your fingers down hard and keep the rhythm even and steady. Use your metronome!!

Examples of trumpet players performing Flight of the Bumble-Bee:
