Nauset is one of three movements of a larger work called "Beachscapes." Nauset beach is located on the ocean side of Cape Cod Massachusetts, where the largest waves can be found on the New England coast. This music is a bit whimsical, portraying a beach scene with surfers falling off their boards, people on the beach, and people going to the food shacks. The music is quite syncopated and gives a jazzy, fun atmosphere. Ranges are mostly within a Grade 3 range, with the 1st trumpet's highest note is G.
