The Chuck Mangione Collection: 10 Trumpet and Flugelhorn Transcriptions

Feels So Good to have note for note accurate transcriptions of some of the most recognizable flugelhorn music ever.

Always wanted the transcription to Feels So Good

Having played trumpet for almost 16 years now, this is a fun book to play and mess around with. Its an advanced to expert book because of the fact that it follows Mr. Mangione note by note throughout some of his most famous songs. Theres lots of high register stuff hitting C's and D's above the staff so do not buy this if your just starting out.

I love Chuck Mangione's music. I love the transcriptions. Now...I will practice on my Hawk Flugelhorn and have lots of fun. That's what life is all about.

Like the other have said, this isn't beginner material. There are some high notes and there is some complex reading. Depending on the recording, it's what Mangione played. I wouldn't go as far as to say it's an expect or advanced book. There are some tunes that more difficult than others that require a solid player to pull them off well, but some aren't too bad. A decent high school player should be able to handle some of them--well, at least from decent band programs with somewhat dedicated players. I've encountered quite a few high school trumpet players than can manage this entire book.If you're getting this for one or two songs, try a "fake book" first. You'll get A LOT more for your money if you do. If you're after "Feels So Good", I've seen it in several fake books before for instance.As for the "high notes", don't worry about it. I've seen video of live performances of Chuck not being able to hold onto the high notes and has taken them down. Remember, in many genres of music you don't have to play it exactly how you heard it the first time. Take the opportunity to rewrite it a little or even transpose it down. Just have fun with it!

The other reviews I have read are correct. This is a great book for competent musicians who want to play these great songs.

I love the CD. The price was good and it takes me back to wonderful days past but not forgotten.

Love this book great for everyone to learn with

Pourquoi ce livre ? Mr mangione si vous avez besoin d'argent allez jouer dans le métro. Personnellement vous m'en avez fait perdre.

Another great book for the Chuck fan.

Chuck MangioneのCDを数枚購入しましたが、そのアルバムに収録された数曲のスコアが掲載されています。イージーリスニングでも楽しめますし、スコアがあると音符を目で追いかけながら曲を楽しむこともできます。自分で楽器ができる人はちょっとだけ”なりきりマンジョーネ”になってみるのも面白いかも？！（ただしそれなりにハイトーンができないと完奏するのは至難の業かもしれません。）あまりむずかしく考えず、ご自分の目と耳でC.Mangioneの音楽を楽しむには最適な一冊です。
