Tre Volti (Three Faces) has been commissioned by the renowned ââ¬ÅNew Trombone Collectiveââ¬Â, exclusively existing of top-trombonists from the Dutch symphony orchestras. The world première was given by the commissioners and took place in ââ¬ÅDe Doelenââ¬Â in Rotterdam on april 16th 2011 - during the ââ¬ÅSlide Factoryââ¬Â - European Trombone Festival.The composer aimed to illustrate 3 different aspects of the instrument in as many movements. Effetti e Tecniche (Effects and Techniques) displays a large amount of specific spectacular and acrobatic possibilities and also various colors and sounds by using different mutes. It contains many ââ¬Åglissandiââ¬Â as well as clusters with semi tones andquarter tones, all being ââ¬Åtypicalââ¬Â for the trombone indeed. The Lamento Lirico (Lyrical Lamento) combines the rather serious and noble voice of the trombone with an aspect which not automatically is connected to that instrument: the melodical character. The overall atmosphere of this movement is somewhat sad and strained and refers to the many beautiful but rather dark passages in the orchestral and opera literature where the trombone section as such is used ...The final movement is called Sonata Antica (Antique Sonata) and is directly inspired by two ââ¬Åsonatasââ¬Â for 3 and 4 trombones by Daniel Speer (1636 - 1707). It illustrates the ââ¬Åhistoricalââ¬Â dimension of the trombone: indeed it was the only brass instrument being able to play chromatically - many centuries before all other brass instruments - thanks to the unique slide system which even during the Middle Ages was applicable already. The antiphonal position, the dialoguing motives and the ââ¬Åneo-early-baroqueââ¬Â idiom really pay homage to Daniel Speer: he composed a certain number of pieces for brass instruments indeed and the composer used thematic material from his Sonatas in d and a in various ways, thus concluding this varied composition in a festive way. Een driedelige - uitdagende - suite voor trombone ensemble.Tre Volti (zu deutsch: Drei Gesichter) - In drei deutlich kontrastierenden Bewegungen versucht der Komponist, ebenso viele Facetten der Posaune zu beleuchten. Der erste Teil EFFETTI E TECNICHE präsentiert eine Reihe akrobatischer und spektakulärer Effekte, die auf diesem vielseitigen Instrument möglich sind, sowie einige Klangfarben (letztere mit einem Dämpfer gespielt). Das LAMENTO LIRICO enthält die eher ernsten Töne, welche die Posaune in der Regel spielt und kombiniert diese mit einem Aspekt, der doch eher ungewöhnlich für dieses Instrument ist: einem melodischen Charakter. Der dritte Satz - SONATA ANTICA - wurde unmittelbar von zwei der bekanntesten Sonaten vonDaniel Speer (1636-1701) inspiriert. Hier geht es um die historische Dimension der Posaune: Tatsächlich war sie das erste Blechblasinstrument, auf dem man - Jahrhunderte vor allen anderen - schon chromatisch spielen konnte. Tre Volti (Trois Visages) est une commande du prestigieux New Trombone Collective, composé des meilleurs trombonistes des orchestres symphoniques néerlandais. La première mondiale, assurée par la formation dédicataire, a eu lieu le 16 avril 2011 au Doelen de Rotterdam dans le cadre du ââ¬ÅSlide Factoryââ¬Â, le festival européen consacré aux trombones.Le compositeur souhaitait illustrer trois aspects de lââ¬â¢instrument en trois mouvements. Effetti e Tecniche (Effets et Techniques) évoque les nombreuses possibilités acrobatiques du trombone, ainsi que lââ¬â¢emploi de sourdines pour obtenir différents timbres et couleurs. Ce mouvement développe de nombreux glissandi ainsi quedes mesures avec des demi-tons et quart de tons, des effets ââ¬Åtypiquesââ¬Â du trombone. Le Lamento Lirico (Complainte Lyrique) tisse une trame lââ¬â¢empreinte mélodique et aux motifs plutôt nobles et sérieux, mettant en évidence lââ¬â¢une des caractéristiques que lââ¬â¢on nââ¬â¢associe pas toujours avec cet instrument. Le climat général de ce mouvement, quelque peu triste et tendu, fait référence aux nombreuses oeuvres orchestrales et opératiques où les trombones se voient attribuer des passages sombres et mélancoliques.Le dernier mouvement, intitulé Sonata Antica, sââ¬â¢inspire directement de deux sonates de Daniel Speer (1636-1707) pour trois et quatre trombones respectivement. Il illustre la dimension historique du trombone, qui était dââ¬â¢ailleurs, au Moyen ge, le seul cuivre capable de jouer chromatiquement gr ce au système de coulisse, et ce plusieurs siècles avant les autres cuivres. La forme antiphonale, les motifs de dialogue et lââ¬â¢idiome ââ¬Åancien néo-baroqueââ¬Â rendent hommage Daniel Speer. Le compositeur de Tre Volti a emprunté, sa manière, plusieurs thèmes des sonates en Ré et en La pour conclure joyeusement cette composition aux multiples facettes.

Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor BWV 565 is possibly the most famous work in the organ repertoire. It was written as early as 1704 while the composer was in his teens, which could explain some of its unusual features. It first appeared in publication in 1833 by way of Felix Mendelssohn.The first appearance of this work as a transcription and recording for brass came in 1979 by Frederick Mills and the Canadian Brass, becoming an iconic work in the ensemble's repertoire.Ralph Sauer has had a great deal of success with his transcriptions of Bach's works. This work of about 9 minutes in length for 8-part Trombone Ensemble of advanced performers is brilliantly thought out and can be the cornerstone of a concert program.

Here is a description of this beautiful work by the composer: Reflection and Celebration for 8-part Trombone Ensemble is a musical homage to a man who was revered for his mentorship, musical intellect and delightful humor. The work opens with a somber melodic solo, capturing the noble spirit of this great mentor. Several repetitive 5-note ascending motives follow which is a symbolic reference to students learning and accomplishing under Conklin's mentorship. The bold fanfare style (in measure 32) is presented to capture the presence and tall stature of Conklin. Finally, Conklin's down-to-earth personality and his infectious humor is referenced (in measure 83). Even the fanfare theme returns in a faster tempo, thus highlighting the frivolity, lightheartedness, and wisdom of this adored music teacher. The music is about 6 1/2 minutes in length and is appropriate for moderately advanced performers.

Henry Wolking's The Best Dam Trombone Quintet Ever may just be! It is a fun, feel-good piece to perform and to listen to. The undulating rhythms and close harmonies produce a pleasing mood with a hint of a jazz feel. The music gives you a big hug. Here is a description of the work by the composer: In the summer of 2017 my wife and I moved to the Nevada Dam town of Boulder City. The town began as a construction camp in early 1930s for the workers of the Boulder Dam (later renamed the Hoover Dam). The dam is one of the worlds great construction projects of the 20th century and has over a million yearly visitors. My house is less than ten minutes away from the dam, and because the dam in one way or another affects everyone living in this unique Nevada town, my newest trombone quintet (composed in January 2018) is the best, well you get the picture. It is a high energy single movement work inspired by the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. Ranges are fairly moderate with a high C# in the first trombone at the end. This is a fun romp for five dam fine trombonists. The 4 1/2 minute work is appropriate for advanced performers.

Nabucco is the opera which established Verdi's reputation as a great composer and even he realized its importance as he noted this is the opera with which my artistic career really begins. iTromboni alum Kenneth Pearce and Andrew Poirier have skillfully set the Overture to Nabucco to highlight the beautiful melodies and technical flare in their arrangement for trombone quintet (2 altos, 2 tenors, bass). As in the original, it all begins with a stately trombone chorale, hints at the big melody of Va, pensiero (the great chorus of the Hebrew slaves) and reaches its energetic conclusion full of gusto! This arrangement is suitable for advanced performers and can be heard on iTromboni's debut album: there goes the neighbourhood.

Hill Country Miniatures for 8-part Trombone Ensemble was written by Richard J. Lawn in 2002 for the Trombone Choir at the University of Texas and its director Nathaniel Brickens. The work is dedicated to Donald Knaub its former director. It has become a staple in the American Trombone Ensemble repertoire since its original release. Mr. Lawn explains in the notes, his deep emotional connection to the Hill Country land and to his days at the Eastman School of Music, hearing the legendary Trombone Choir led by Emory Remington and following through to his days at the University of Texas with Knaub and Brickens, all of which inspired him to compose this work. This music is about 15 minutes in length and is for advanced performers. The four movements of the work are: Hickory Cove - September 2001 - a lyrical, somber and solemn introductory movement. Smithwick - a jaunty piece reflecting the Scottish and English heritage of this tiny Texas spot. The Narrows - As part of the Colorado River narrows, it twists and turns its way through the Texas Hill Country. You can hear the gentle waters winding through the cliffs and slopes. Blue Bonnet Boogie - The springtime brings a profusion of the Blue Bonnet, the Texas state flower. A sea of these swaying in the breeze brings out the good old down-home boogie-woogie! A jazz solo featuring Bass Trombone (written for Bill Reichenbach in mind) with solo written out or improvised using chord symbols adds a festive finish. Cherry Classics is proud to be the new distributor of this great work.

Joshua F'it de Battle of Jericho is a well-known African-American spiritual, most likely composed by slaves in the early 19th century. Early versions used the word f'it for fought.

Stephansdom is a new composition, descriptive of the iconic St. Stephan's Cathedral in central Vienna. Ryan Diefendorfer wrote this work for the Indiana University Trombone Ensemble for Bass Trombone solo and Trombone Choir (6-part) to be performed by Carl Lenthe at the 2012 Eastern Music Festival. Ryan's work was awarded the winner of the 2012 Eastern Trombone Workshop National Composition Competition.St. Stephen's Cathedral, also known as Stephansdom, is one of Vienna's most remarkable city icons. Dating back to 1137, Stephandsom towers above the rest of Vienna's skyline and has been a constant presence in the lives of the Viennese for nearly one thousand years. Among the buildings that the Viennese find closest to their hearts, Stephansdom is certainly one of themI. GroundbreakingThe first movement depicts the troubles that St. Stephen's Cathedral had in getting its groundbreaking as a church. The opening of the piece marks the celebration of the Viennese when St. Stephen's was first constructed in 1137, during the Romanesque era. However, the church faced many issues—from being destroyed by the Babenberg Empire to being decimated by a fire—before the church began its construction in the Gothic style in 1307. The first movement depicts these struggles before resolving to an open chord.II. StefflSteffl, the nickname for Stephansdom's soaring north tower, is one of the characteristics of the cathedral that the Viennese find so endearing. This movement is very upbeat and is meant to portray the excitement shared by the Viennese for this beautiful addition to Stephansdom, which was completed in 1433. Stephansdom's north tower is the tallest structure in Vienna, and distinctly stands out within Vienna's skyline.III. 1945As World War II was coming to a close in 1945, Stephansdom's roof caught fire from a neighboring building, destroying large portions of the church. One climax occurs at m.30, which depicts Stephansdom's great bell, the Pummerin, crashing down to the ground. This movement depicts the chaotic nature of the raging fire of 1945.IV. Anton PilgrimAnton Pilgrim was the last, and perhaps most beloved, architect who worked on St. Stephen's Cathedral in the Gothic style. One of his most famous projects was the St. Stephen's organ loft, which is depicted by an opening organ-like canon. The final movement to the piece ends in a chorale-like fashion, demonstrating the Viennese's love for Anton Pilgrim, as well as Stephansdom, one of Vienna's most iconic sights.This work of 12 minutes in length is appropriate for advanced performers.

Nuages (Clouds) is the first movement from the orchestral tryptych, Nocturnes written in 1899 and inspired by a series of impressionist paintings by the same name by James Abbot McNeill Whistler. The work is flowing and mysterious and uses the sky as the musical canvas with the slow motion of the clouds floating across with the tones of color from white to dark gray. Randall Malmstrom's unique arrangement for 8-part Trombone Ensemble uses a family of mutes (optional....straight, cup and bucket) to bring out the colors of Debussy's work of genius.
