About the piece:
Waltzing Matilda is often considered Australia’s unofficial national anthem. The lyrics were written by Australian poet Banjo Paterson in 1895, while the well-known tune was arranged by Marie Cowan in 1903 to promote Billy Tea. The song tells the story of a wandering worker and reflects themes of freedom and the Australian outback.
About the instrument:
The Bb Trumpet is a transposing instrument—when you play a written C, it actually sounds as a Bb. That’s why this arrangement is written one whole step higher than concert pitch, ensuring it sounds correct when played. The trumpet's bright, clear tone gives this folk melody a bold and uplifting quality.
