Three Equali for four Trombones WoO 30-When Beethoven visited the director of music at the cathedral in Linz Franz Xaver Glöggl in autumn 1812 the latter asked his guest to 'compose socalled Equali for 4 trombones for All Souls? Day [2 November]?. Beethoven readilycomplied and it was to be his own funeral music. For in 1827 the Equali were sung in an arrangement for male choir as a ?dirge for Beethoven?s funeral procession?. The original instrumental version is today a core workin the trombonist?s repertoire. Henle's Urtext edition is based on the musical text in the Beethoven Complete Edition and contains a score and single parts (both in the original C and in modern bass clef).

G.F. Handel's (1685-1759) Water Music is one of the most famous suites ever to be written. Therefore when Robert King (1914-1999) arranged three movements of the popular piece for the brass choir or brass sextet it was very well-received. The Water Music premiered in 1717 and was originally composed for orchestra. The three movements arranged for brass are the two famous Allegros and the well-known Andante. King's transcriptions ensure that the brass parts contain the articulation phrasing and breath marks necessary to the instrument. For all classical brass ensembles this King arrangement of the popular WaterMusic is essential.
