Vesti la Giubba is one of the most beloved arias from Leoncavallo’s opera Pagliacci. We think that any aria sounds fantastic on brass instruments, but this one in particular just seems at home on the trumpet.

The melody is passionate and soaring (it’s an Italian opera, after all). Played this with a full wind ensemble behind you would be a fantastic experience, and won’t leave a dry eye in the house!
