This work was commissioned by Professor James Watson for the brass faculty of the Royal Academy of Music London. It was composed between January and May 2007. The first performance was given on 12 June 2008 by Blair Sinclair (to whom the work is dedicated) and Timothy End. It is the third in a series of six works for brass which began with sonatas for Bass Tuba and Piano (2006) and Bass Trombone and Piano (2006) and will conclude with two more sonatas (French Horn Trumpet/Flugel Horn) and a work for brass ensemble. All five sonatas will be published by Queen's Temple Publications during 2009.

20 easy carols for winter, Advent and Christmas for 1?3 trombones and piano. Par . What would Christmas time be without making music together? Advent, Christmas, and winter songs play an important role for all beginners on a melody instrument, because with these they can show off their progress on the instrument during the first year. And nothing is better suited to this than well-loved and popular Christmas classics.The volumes in our series for instrumental teaching, developed in collaboration with the Landesakademie für die musizierende Jugend in Baden-Württemberg, all contain 20 easy carols arranged in progressive level of difficulty. Experienced instrumental teachers have made a selection of carols for each instrument according to specific criteria. These can be mastered as part of music school lessons after just a few weeks and months. All the carols have been chosen and transposed so that the range and fingering combinations do not exceed the level of difficulty for the first three years of learning.The piano accompaniment is of moderate difficulty. For many of the carols, an ad lib upper or lower part is included which can also be played by instrumental pupils. The volumes are therefore suitable for individual as well as group tuition.The arrangements are based on the piano and instrumental books from the CHRISTMAS CAROLS project (Carus 2.403/03 und 2.404/03) which is part of the LIEDERPROJEKT, the charitable project to further singing with children. The books contain singing texts for all the carols, providing a full range of options for singing and playing together at Christmas.All the books include the printed music of the piano accompaniment. Digital playalong tracks are available for all the books.Further editions for flute, clarinet, alto saxophone, trumpet, violin, cello / Date parution : 2022-10-12/ Recueil / Trombone et Piano
