Four part Trombone Choir - Advanced

SKU: CY.CC2378

Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. Baroque. Score and parts. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2378).

The Toccata in e minor comes from the keyboard Partita, BWV 830 first published in 1731. This work is not only grand in length, but also in expression having a very serious tone. The many moods of the work have been beautifully portrayed by Ralph Sauer's elegant transcription. All parts have equal weight in importance in this setting.

About seven minutes in length for advanced performers.

Composed by Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958). Set of performance parts for solo violin and piano accompaniment. E Minor. 22 pages. Published by Oxford University Press.

English. Text Source: Alas! and Did My Savior Bleed?, Isaac Watts, 1674-1748, alt., At the Cross, Ralph E. Hudson, 1843-1901, alt. Text by Isaac Watts.

“At the Cross” contains the very rich texts of Isaac Watts and Ralph Hudson. My desire is to treat each verse with utmost respect by highlighting—through music—the suffering, shame, hope, beauty, and glory of the cross. The cross embodies all of these attributes. You will notice there is a somberness that begins at m. 84, mirroring the darkness that ensued while Christ hung on the cross (Mark 15:33). A “darker” sound from the altos is encouraged. This is the turning point in the song, preparing the singers for the response to such a sacrifice. Although the text speaks of grief and debt (starting at m. 93), one can see the hope that builds, with the realization that complete surrender is the only response to such a sacrifice. Much thought and energy (under control) should be expended to aid this verse in building to the climactic point of the song, when hope is found in the cross and the burden has been lifted.

Trombone octet - advanced

SKU: CY.CC2849

Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. Baroque. Score and Parts. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2849).

* The Prelude in E-flat, subtitled “St. Anne” gets its nickname from the similarity of its fugue theme and a hymn tune by William Croft, however, scholars feel there is no realistic connection, as Croft's work was only known in the British Isles.
* Originally written for organ in 1736, this great music is the crowning achievement of a large volume of works for that instrument.
* Mr. Sauer's 11-minute arrangement of this monumental Bach Prelude is brilliantly worked out to the last detail for an 8-part Trombone choir of advanced performers.
