Using the musical styles and forms of the Medieval and Renaissance periods, Mike Forbes has written a striking and powerful three movement suite that is a major addition to serious band literature. The music is entirely original, but the style and approach is similar to such pieces as the Courtly Dances from Gloriana by Benjamin Britten, and makes effective use of the coloristic possibilities of the modern concert band.

This collection of 16 well-known works from the classical repertoire for trombone quartet are presented here for grade 3-5 groups. This collection was specifically arranged to allow for flexible low brass instrumentation. The 4th part may be played on bass trombone or tuba, and the upper three trombone parts can easily be exchanged for baritones (b.c.) to the extent that these could be played solely by a baritone-tuba quartet.
