Bugle Calls For Trumpet

A 1920's training manual with both musical notes and adapted words to explain the calls, intended for the use of Trumpeters, Buglers and Instructors as well as for Soldiers to learn calls, especially Field Calls that were confusing due to their similarity, such as Stand Fast; Charge; Gallop; and Rally. A must for historical military re-enactment.

Contains 49 bugle calls used exclusively by the infantry branch of service during the American Civil War. Performed by the author on the B-flat infantry bugle, each call is accompanied by historical notes and direct quotes from the manuals of the period. When appropriate, the command is spoken before the call is played. Also includes interesting anecdotes. In standard notation.
