This was 1000% out of my comfort zone because I've never sung in this style before. Shawn asked me to sing this countertenor duet with him at the BCI coffee house and I'll try anything once (within reason); I might even try this again someday! Super fun even with my mistakes :)

The joke with the piece was that it's called Sound The Trumpet. We only performed this one movement, but it happens to be the only one that doesn't include trumpet. Irony!


Sound the trumpet, sound the trumpet, sound the trumpet!
Sound, sound, sound the trumpet till around
You make the list'ning shores rebound.
On the sprightly hautboy play
All the instruments of joy
That skillful numbers can employ,
To celebrate the glories of this day.
