Vocalise-etude (en forme de Habanera) was originally written for voice and is one more example of a French composer's fascination with the music of Spain. Ravel in particular was fond of this Habanera style, having included it in several of his works. This music also may have been composed as a study for students at the Paris Conservatory.
Ravel includes virtuosic runs and portamento effects which Mr. Sauer has effectively used in his fine arrangement for Bass Trombone.
The work of about 3 minutes in length is appropriate for advanced performers.

Many of the best teachers consider vocalises essential for teaching and learning a singing tone quality in addition to range, ornamentation, and most importantly, style. Each of these vocalises is by its nature - and title - an etude. Do not be turned off by the pedagogical nature. They are meant to be studied as well as performed. Much like the Chopin piano etudes, these pieces are full of great music, and were written with public performance in mind. Also of note is that all thirty of these vocalises are by French composers, so this is a wonderful resource with which to learn the French style of performance. I hope you enjoy these thirty vocalise-etudes as music as I have. They are a pure delight to learn and perform. Happy practicing!

The Vocalises by Giuseppe Concone were originally composed in the 19th Century as exercises for vocalists learning their art. More lately in the 20th Century, musicians have discovered this body of literature and have transcribed these exercises for every possible instrument for their inherent benefit in teaching musical expression, phrasing, lyricism and breath control. Volume 2 of these duets or counterparts (numbers 17-32) are perfect for teacher and student to help perfect the techniques mentioned above and are of intermediate difficulty. Ran Whitley has done a great job adapting these beautiful melodies as duets.
