Richard Bush <rbushidioglot@-----. I
find it interesting that cornet/trumpet should be a thread on a clarinet
news group. Actually, I don't find it that inappropriate as many of the
clarinet players in this world play in bands, grew up in bands and still
like playing band music, those challenging clarinet parts, etc. (That is MY
justification for continuing this thread). In more classical band
arranging, the cornet was the soprano voice of those instruments that are
mostly conical, ei cornet, French horn, euphonium (or baritone horn) and
tuba. Trumpets are often matched with trombones and have often been used
for the fanfare type parts. Cornets blend better in certain passages and
many composers and/or arrangers made such a distinction. There was also a
time when the cornet was more different from the trumpet in tone and bore
than what a lot of today's cornets are. In jazz, some players still
distinguish between the two. Cornet is preferred by many who play
traditional Dixieland music. I believe Clark Terry has been known to play
cornet. Mr. Armstrong also played cornet for many years before converting
to trumpet. Personally, I wish band directors would still maintain and
distinguish between cornet and trumpet and the music that was written with
this distinction in mind.
