This is the most played Trumpet Tune by Johnson. It has a baroque feel to it as well. Thanks for playing it so excellently and sharing it with us all. I hope to catch up with you one day when I pass through London again. (Let's play a duet!)
A splendid performance of this classic Johnson work, Marcus: bravo! The wonderful thing about English organ Tubas is the great variety of these powerful solo reeds, from the great big fat sound of some high pressure variants to the more sparkling trumpet variety, as with this fine Romsey Abbey beauty! (I am particularly addicted to the Father Willis Tuba on the Hereford sample set, as it inspired my own 'Tuba Flourish'!)
Thank you, Graham. We are blessed with so many glorious tubas in the UK (I have to confess that Salisbury is another favourite along with the Willis III tuba at St Mary’s Church in Southampton, which is handily extended down to 32’ in the pedal and enclosed in a choir box!). Expect an email about your Tuba Flourish, I might have to add it to my repertoire!
BRAVO! I love this piece - he wrote a few of these (😜) but this is definitely top shelf! Beautifully played and the clarity of the Romsey tuba really suits them!
Johnson and trumpet tunes are synonymous but this is definitely a good one! Thanks for your kind words, Jerry. (Will the tubas at SMR be even better? 😉)
Thanks, Philip. I use a GoPro for the top view which is mounted to the frame of an angle poise lamp. I’ve tried to create a really minimal camera setup that’s not too obtrusive in the room but I’m still not happy with the angle from the right.

Thanks very much, James. Be sure to let me know when you’re next in London!

Always nice to hear this classic, especially refreshing to hear it at this relatively dry organ. Well done!
Thanks, Ralph!
I really love these organ pieces as Trumpet Tune, they are so clear and structured. A great listening pleasure for me, dear Marcus.
Thanks so much!
A fun and joyous Trumpet Tune in-Deed! Thank you, Marcus, as always for your meticulous performance and inventive presentations.
Thank you very much indeed!
Wonderful recording Markus
Thank you, Markus.
Lovely piece Marcus. Thanks for performing it so grandly and sharing it.
Thank you very much, Maurice.
Nicely done. How do you set up your overview cam (top-down). And which camera do you use?
