Answer: Henry Purcell's rondeau was a very enjoyable piece of music. To produce sharp, crisp sounds that are well timed with the other instruments, all performers use excellent embouchure and breath support, projection, and tonguing. The tempo of this piece usually requires that the performers enter at specific times in order to achieve the rondeau effect, which each performer does admirably. The trumpets and trombones accurately portray Henry Purcell's style and expressions. The piece is expertly played with a high level of note and rhythmic accuracy, as well as a steady rhythm and impactful use of accents. It's an extremely fun piece.
