Talk:Trumpet Voluntary

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Trumpet Voluntary is within the scope of WikiProject Classical music, which aims to improve, expand, cleanup, and maintain all articles related to classical music, that aren't covered by other classical music related projects. Please read the guidelines for writing and maintaining articles. To participate, you can edit this article or visit the project page for more details.

[edit] the scope of this page: Voluntary

It seems to me that this page should be moved and incorporated into a page called "Voluntary (music)". A voluntary is a piece composed in a free manner, usually an organ piece played before or after a church service. It is used as a title by Baroque composers. Gibbons, Blow, Purcell et al should be mentioned, plus the fact that some of them prefer the term "fantasia" or "fancy" or even "fugue". All this needs an article. A trumpet voluntary is a special kind of voluntary. I suggest it could either be merged into a page on the voluntary, or possibly retained as such, but a separate article on the more general voluntary created.
