Publisher Desc.  Grand Prix for Trumpets is a humorous composition that depicts an exciting auto race with a trumpet octet. Many racetrack sounds are simulated on trumpets using extended techniques. Such effects include the roar of the engines, car horns, ambulance sirens, skids, crashes, and the Doppler effect of cars screaming past at high speeds. The piece closes with a fanfare of finish line music as the race speeds towards the checkered flag. This unusual piece will be both a performer and crowd favorite!
