Altissimo trill fingerings for a piece

Author: SonicManEXE

Hi all,

My wind ensemble is playing Lauds by Ron Nelson for our end-of-the-year concert, and I have a couple trills I'm not sure how to finger. The first one is altissimo G# to E, and the second one is altissimo D to B. I could figure out the second one on my own, but I have no idea how to go about the first one; the only G# fingering I know is RT -2-|1--

Thanks!

I'll double check that this one works when I practice in a bit, but I'm pretty sure you can play G# as the thumb, register key, and Eb key. (So just trill the LH 3rd and 4th fingers to go from E to G#.)

Here's a relatively unknown B to D tremolo:

Play the [B5]

as TR xox/xxx

Play the [D6]

as TR xox/xoo

...GBK

I have a fingering chart on my website, there might be some suggestions on it on the trill page for you.
