My modern arrangement of the Requiem Mass Sequence, “Dies irae” (Latin for “Day of Wrath”).
Headphones recommended. (There are some low notes that won’t reproduce on a cell phone.)
The “Dies irae” melody is one of the oldest known melodies in Western civilization. Some scholars believe the melody dates back to the sixth century and originates with St. Gregory the Great.
Instruments used:
Ludwig Classic Maple snare
Ludwig LM402 snare
20” Zildjian Low Volume Ride
22” Zildjian Avedis Dark Ride
Ludwig piccolo bass drum
Roland TR-808 electronic bass drum
Tambourine
Yamaha keyboard

Here is a run through of the first half of a song Im working on. Its a transcription of a song recorded by Dutch teen singer, Heintje, in 1971. Its called, Abend Wird Es Im Tal I need to have someone translate that, but I think its something about the valley in the evening. I think its a great song and sounds great on the trumpet. Heres the original, if youre interested: http://youtu.be/gzaoWxtLeTg
I know I have several works in progress up right now. Im actually working on four projects at the same time! I think this one will be finished first, so when that happens, Ill post it and remove this one. I just wanted to put something new up, so here it is. Enjoy! Dave
Tech stuff: my normal equipment used to record all the other videos and Im playing my Kanstul CHI1000 Chicago trumpet (copy of Chicago Benge 3X, ML) with Laskey 65MC mouthpiece.")
