Premiered in London in March 1749, Handels Arrival of the Queen of Sheba is a processional that can be heard in the opening to Act III of his oratorio Solomon.

Here we have an arrangement of this music for six trumpets by midlands-based composer and trumpet player Gavin Lamplough. This idiomatic arrangement for brass will offer the instrumentalists a chance to shine with the melody being passed around all six parts, calling for dexterity and clarity from all performers.
