A Whiter Shade Of Pale - Brass Arrangement

Author Comments

A brass cover of the famous song by the rock band "Procol Harum", based on an arrangement by Jan van Kraeydonck.
Unlike the arrangement by Jan van Kraeydonck, I kept the original tonality of the song.
Mihai Sorohan on trumpet, flugelhorn and trombone.

Great work as usual, Mihai. Curious how you handle switching between trumpet/flugel and trombone embouchures. Do you find that it causes you problems? I play trumpet and own a trombone, would love to learn. Seems harder switching from trombone --> trumpet than the other way around for me.

sorohanro responds:

My trumpet teacher kept telling me to not switch between different sizes of trumpet mouthpieces, because it's bad... but he was an idiot.
I switch between mouthpieces even during one tune, if I need different tone. Switching between instruments it's a bit different. From trumpet to trombone for me it's more problematic, I need 2-3 minutes to adjust. In those 2-3 minutes I have very thin and weak tone. The other way around feels weird, but actually I notice an improved tone if I practice on trombone. More "meaty" sound and faster response.
