ISBN 9790080145111. 8.5x11.75x0.099 inches. Hungarian, English. Laszlo Dubrovay.
The composer wrote this work in 2004 for the Corpus trombone quartet, to whom it is dedicated. The piece consists of a slow and a fast section, both in rondo form. Its musical language makes use of a great many new elements of playing technique, which provide an excellent opportunity for displaying the fantastically virtuosic capabilities of both the new modes of sound production and the performers: they include Wah-muted notes with modulated tone colour, harmonic-glissandi, sequences of buzzing notes sung into the instrument, valve-modulated harmonic glissandi, rapid double- and tripletongued staccatos, and flutter-tongued, lip-trilled and buzzing lip-vibrating notes. The purpose: playful, good-humoured music-making, to exorcise evil from our lives.

--The Wassailing Song is a secular holiday song dating back to the 12th Century.--It is traditionally sung at Christmas, but actually does not celebrate the nativity, rather the New Year! --The word Wassail is an olde English word for a spiced wine or ale. It was common to go door-to-door toasting to one's Good Health.--Ron Babcock's lively arrangement of about 5 minutes is inspired by Ralph Vaughan Williams and is for intermediate to advanced performers.
