August Opera Fanfare for Trumpet Octet

August Opera Fanfare

Trumpet Octet (8 Trumpets)

by Eddie Lewis

August Opera Fanfare is a very short (as fanfares should be) modern composition for eight trumpets. There is double tonguing, high notes, and dissonant chords. What else could a fanfare need?

August Opera Fanfare is a composition Eddie Lewis wrote for a herald trumpet gig. The piece wasn’t used for the gig, but trumpet ensembles around the world have been performing it for years.
