Fantasy for Trombone was written in 1981 as a Christmas present for Richard Raum while he and Elizabeth Raum were performing with the Regina Symphony. Ms. Raum is a highly respected Canadian composer with a catalog of outstanding compositions, many featuring brass instrument solos. Fantasy for Trombone and Brass Band was arranged by Dorothy Gates in 2007.

The beautiful performance is by UK Trombonist Nick Hudson.

Fantasy is dramatic, lyrical and very expressive, making it an ideal choice to feature your brass band's trombone soloist.

The instrumentation is for: Solo Trombone, Soprano Cornet, 4 Cornets, Flugelhorn, 3 Horns in E-flat, 2 Baritones, 3 Trombones, Euphonium, E-flat Bass Tuba, B-flat Bass Tuba.
