British composer John Frith has written an exiting new work; Hot Pursuit for Trumpet (parts in C and B-flat), Trombone and Piano for virtuoso performers. The work of about 5 minutes in length is dedicated to Professor John Marcellus of the Eastman School of Music and was premiered at the school in 2010 during a visit by the composer.

Hot Pursuit is composed in an A-B-A format with a lyrical middle section flanked by a fast section marked with giant leaps, supersonic scales and sharp attacks.

This work can add a big boost to your next recital.

These TWO SUITES were composed in response to a request form Heini Schneebeli, the musical director of 'TROMBONANZA 2017'. Santa Fe in Argentina is the backdrop for this exciting annual event involving many hundreds of student and professional players.

The SECOND SUITE has five movements and is intended for a quartet of younger tenor trombonists working with a teacher on the fifth part on bass trombone who will add richness and depth to the ensemble sound.

It is my hope that this piece will encourage, entertain and challenge student players and provide useful concert material for use in the promotion of this unique and versatile instrument.

This unique work is a musical depiction of Beethoven's funeral cortege through the streets of Vienna. Here is a brief description of the work by composer John Frith: It is well documented that at Beethoven's funeral on March 26th, 1827, a choir of trombones and male voices made appropriate music. This is not that music, but rather an attempt to recreate something of the sombre mood of that historic occasion. The work was written in honour of Ruben Carughi and Trombonanza friends for an 8-part low brass ensemble with moderately advanced performers with an instrumentation of: 1 Alto Trombone, 5 Tenor Trombones, Euphonium/Trombone and Tuba/Bass Trombone.
