Love All That's Holy Easy Trumpet Quartet

Love All That's Holy Easy Trumpet Quartet

by Eddie Lewis

Love All That’s Holy easy trumpet quartet is an original hymn composed for four trumpets. The feature of this composition that stands out most is the almost drone-like bass line in the fourth trumpet. Major sections of the composition have the fourth trumpet part playing a low G. This gives the piece a consistent foundation for the other voices to build upon.

I don’t have my notes here in front of me, but I seem to remember the main melody of this easy trumpet quartet popping into my head before church one Sunday morning. It was a morning when I was keenly aware of God’s love, to a point where I felt safe beneath His wings…so to speak.

The tempo is 120 to the quarter-note, but I recorded it in cut-time, at 60 to the half-note. I recorded it this way because I believe this gives the piece a more relaxed feel. It should not feel hurried or panicked. The reason I shared the paragraph above is so you would keep that in mind as you work on the style with your students. It should be performed calmly with a sense of peace.
