Marco Bordogni: Vingt-Quatre Vocalises: Solo de Trompette

Italian operatic tenor, Marco Bordogni (1789-1856) received great success as a singer and teacher when he moved to Paris. His Vingt-Quatre Vocalises have remained popular, so much so that G. Armand Porret saw the need to adapt the studies for brass instruments.

In Porret's arrangement, which is adjustable to C or B? Trumpet, Cornet and Saxhorn, a handy transposition table is included. The Vingt-Quatre Vocalises enable the performer to focus on tone, lyricism, articulation, dynamic contrast, fingering and breath control, among other significant aspects. Being notably versatile, and having remained apopular aid to vocalists and instrumentalists for over two centuries, it is clear that Vingt-Quatre Vocalises, adapted for C or B? Trumpet, Cornet and Saxhorn, would be a crucial aid to a performer's progression.
