I have an autograph score of a sacred Latin concerted choral work by the 18th Century Italian composer Francesc'antonio Vallotti (theorist regarding tuning). Anyway, the piece includes two tromba parts written in alto clef. This is the first time I have seen such a thing. Anyone ever see this before? If I'm doing a modern performing edition, would it be okay to just re-write to treble clef?
Of course; why not? Remember that they were trained in using the 9 movable clefs and used them freely, but we are not! I'd also suggest transposing them for Bb trumpets, but that depends on the use you expect to get from the modern edition.
