Hello,
I'm engraving a new opera for a French composer and I'm wording about
a specific piece of terminology -- "Trompette en Ut" or "Trompette en
Do"? I have a vague feeling "Trompette en Ut" is archaic, but I don't
have any recent French orchestral scores to check against.
Trompette en ut (lower case, please!) is not at all archaic (see,
among others, Messiaen: _Et exspecto resurrectionem mortuorum_). In
fact, I'm not at all sure that "trompette en do" is even permissible.
"Tr. *in* do", which has been cited in this thread, is not French at
all but Italian.
