On Reflection - Gentle Giant for Trumpet Ensemble

This project has been a labor of love for me. I've always loved all the versions of Gentle Giant's "On Reflection" including their live versions and the two tracks from their album "Free Hand". I decided to arrange a mash up of all versions and write it out for trumpet ensemble. Enjoy!

I’ve been listening to them since 1971… And they still amaze me. Thanks for giving this Music at the time.

This is glorious. It is beautifully played, and displays the wonders of the original composition.

The baby and the dog are also brilliant.

It finally hit me that this is the group we would listen to for hours at home during the later part of my college life. And this was definitely one of our favorites. Thanks again for bringing back some great memories. (:
