Fantasie-Legende f�r Posaune und Klavier by early 20th Century Danish composer Axel J�rgensen was forgotten for quite a while but has been rediscovered, edited and recorded by noted Danish Trombonist and educator Niels-Ole Bo Johansen.

The work is in a late Romantic style with hints of expressionism, about 4 minutes in length and is appropriate for advanced intermediate level performers (range is up to a high B).

The beautifully performed sample is by Mr. Johansen and pianist Erik Kaltoft from the CD, The French Connection.

MEDLEY of PATRIOTISM is an arrangement of 3 patriotic songs for Trombone and Piano (Score and Part included). The songs include: 1) Battle Hymn of the Republic, 2) God of Our Fathers and 3) America, the Beautiful... with a reprise of Battle Hym of the Republic. This arrangement works great for offertories, special music, concerts or any event where Patriotism for God and Country is emphasized. (15 pages including cover).

MEDLEY of PATRIOTISM (Piano Accompaniment for Trombone)

Fantasy Sonata, Op. 40 for Trombone and Piano by Benjamin Schroen is a work composed in 1900 which was forgotten and now rediscovered by musicologist and conductor, Dr. Keith Davies Jones.

Fantasy Sonata is written in the same virtuoso style as compositions of that period by Joseph Serafin Alschausky, and though quite challenging, it is fully idiomatic for the trombone. There is a passing ?reference? to the Concerto by Rimsky-Korsakov, and it is just possible that Schroen might have been familiar with that work as a trombonist himself. There are also some stylistic similarities to the Fantasia for trombone and organ Op.58 composed in the mid-19th century by Friedrich August Belcke (1795 ? 1874).

The 6.5-minute work featuring several short cadenzas, contrasting dramatic and expressive sections is in Romantic style, in bass and tenor clef and appropriate for intermediate to advanced performers.

John Frith's new work One Nation for Trombone and Piano is written in A-B-A format, beginning with a dramatic and declamatory section which leads into a more somber, lyrical section and then returning to the A section to finish off this fine work of about 4 minutes in length, appropriate for moderately advanced performers (all in bass clef). This work would work very well for young performers looking to find a challenging contemporary work with lots of contrasts.

This work is dedicated to Gordon Cherry.
