David Summer Trumpet Player Flute Soloist, Church Service Ceremony, MA

Playing the Trumpet and Flute well in a church setting is a very specialized type of performance playing. David has decades of experience, as a professional Flutist and Trumpeter, tailoring his flute and trumpet playing to any church setting.

Usually, David will begin the church service with a flute prelude, setting a contemplative and welcoming tone before playing the processional on the trumpet. During the service, David will play along with the hymns as the congregation sings. For each hymn, he will select the best, most appropriate instrument, trumpet or flute to effectively compliment the particular piece. David can also play along with the choir and congregation during sung responses and acclimations as well as during an Anthem, the Gloria, Offertory and Communion. The postlude is usually performed on the trumpet. For a postlude, David likes to perform an instrumental version of a joyful hymn, often with a trumpet descant he has composed himself.

Naturally, Advent season including Christmas Morning and Christmas Eve, and Easter Holy Week, including Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday (Easter Vigil) and on to Pentecost, are busy times for musicians, especially so for trumpet players and flutists here in Massachusetts. However, trumpet and flute music can impart a beautiful, festive setting to any of your church services and celebrations throughout the year. David Summer - Trumpeter

David plays throughout the year for Confirmation and First Communion ceremonies as well as for church anniversaries, pastor installations, renovation celebrations and other special occasions. Often a church will have David return to perform, not to mark a special occasion, but simply as a beautiful addition to the music.

David Summer is a classically trained musician. Over the years, he has been a flautist and/or trumpet player in many classical ensembles including brass quartets, brass quintets, flute ensembles and chamber orchestras. However, in the past David also worked as a brass player and flutist in different types of jazz and pop ensembles too, including big bands and concert bands and has lead his own jazz ensemble. This additional performance background, particularly in improvisation, gives David the ability to derive beautiful trumpet or flute parts as needed from keyboard parts or chord changes.

David takes great pride in being able to blend into any church setting and in his ability to work very well with organists, choir directors and church music directors. He works hard to ensure that the experience of performing with an additional musician is a pleasant and satisfying musical experience for everyone. David expertly handles all the technical aspects of working with a trumpeter and flute player including handling all transpositions as well as deciding when and where it's appropriate to play during a piece with the choir and/or congregation. His 30 plus years of professional experience have made him an expert at blending with church choirs and congregations, enhancing the natural beauty of the vocal performances.

Having David play trumpet and flute for your special services will make the occasions even more memorable for you and your congregation. When you work with an experienced, professional trumpet player and flutist, the entire experience will be a happy and joyous occasion.
