Cincinnati Pops - "Goldfinger"
Vince DiMartino played lead with us on this Goldfinger clip. Brilliant and energized trumpet work as always! His playing is powerful, mean, and sweet all at the same time! Love to listen. Vince always got us pumped. Great times happened with Vinnie.

CSO Brass - Untouchables
Main Theme from The Untouchables by Ennio Morricone. What a great piece to jump start blood and air flow! Impossible to be bored. Fun stuff. At least in our own minds, the trumpets were untouchable. This one's for us, guys!

Lonesome Dove
Theme from Lonesome Dove written by Basil Poledouris. An E flat trumpet would have been a good idea here, but no. C size fits all. Take a few healthy gulps, be ready for frequent high notes, and just go for it.

A League of Their Own
Ah, the Pops! The quasi-sublime is followed by total craziness. Here is "The Final Game" from A League of Their Own.

Copland Ceremonial Fanfare
Copland's Ceremonial Fanfare was written in 1945 for the the 50th anniversary of the CSO. It is less famous than his Fanfare for the Common Man, and sets a more solemn and introspective tone. Whereas the first is noble, brilliant and triumphant, this one is also celebratory and grandiose, but strangely tragic at the same time.
