Historical Songs of Protest are a set of six skilfully arranged and evocative pieces for unaccompanied trumpet.

The songs are drawn from four centuries and across a wide spectrum of protests that inspired song. They can be performed as a complete set, individually or in combinations. The book contains a bonus duet at the end. Included with each song are carefully researched historical facts and perspectives, useful for preparing programme notes and the original lyrics.

The songs can be performed on Bb, C Trumpet or Cornet. The upper range is C, two octaves above middle C in only in a couple of the arrangements. These arrangements are suitable for grade 8 standard players and above.
