Description

Jules Minard was a French composer active during the Romantic period. Though not widely known today, his works reflect the lyrical charm and expressive nuance typical of early 20th-century French music. Le Chant des Matelots, composed in 1908, was originally written as a choral piece capturing the spirit of maritime life with flowing melodic lines and evocative harmonies.

The work conjures images of wind-swept decks and distant horizons. This Trumpet Trio arrangement preserves the rhythmic vitality and melodic sweep of the original, while offering performers a chance to explore dynamic contrast and ensemble blend.
