Includes Additional Parts In Bass Clef. Par BRUCKNER ANTON. Les deux Aequale pour trois trombones peuvent être qualifiés d'oeuvres de jeunesse de Bruckner: c'est un jeune homme de 22 ans à peine qui les composa en janvier 1847, pour les funérailles de sa grande-tante, du temps où il était auxiliaire scolaire à l'abbaye de Saint-Florian, près de Linz. Indépendamment du caractère précoce de cette composition, les deux brefs Aequale, avec leurs harmonies à la fois expressives et romantiques, sont déjà du 'vrai' Bruckner, qui préfigure les pages de trombones en forme de choral de ses symphonies plus tardives. Avec les trois Equale pour quatre trombones WoO 30 (HN 1151) de Beethoven, ils comptent parmi les classiques de la littérature pour trombone. L'édition Henle-Urtext repose sur les sources autographes conservées dans les bibliothèques des abbayes de Saint-Florian et de Seitenstetten. Pour la partie de trombone basse perdue du second Aequale, elle propose un essai de reconstitution à des fins d'exécution./ Répertoire / 3 Trombones (Alto, Ténor et Basse)

When Beethoven visited the director of music at the cathedral in Linz, Franz Xaver Glöggl, in autumn 1812, the latter asked his guest to 'compose socalled Equali for 4 trombones for All Souls' Day [2 November]?. Beethoven readily complied - and it was to be his own funeral music. For in 1827 the Equali were sung in an arrangement for male choir as a 'dirge for Beethoven's funeral procession?. The original instrumental version is today a core work in the trombonist's repertoire. Our Urtext edition is based on the musical text in the Beethoven Complete Edition and contains a score and single parts (both in the original C and in modern bass clef). / 4 Trombones

Morceau De Lecture For Trombone And Piano-Alexandre Guilmant was one of the greatest representatives of the French Romantic organ school and composed almost exclusively for his instrument.A rare exception is this “Morceau symphonique” written in1902 for the Paris Conservatoire’s annual trombone class competition. The charming piece soon found its way into the repertoire – as did Saint-Saëns’s “Cavatine” (HN 1119) – and is todayamong the essential standard works of trombone literature.The “Morceau symphonique” is here offered in its first-ever Urtext edition based on the autograph and the first edition. We also offer here aparticularly special treat – the sight-reading piece that Guilmant wrote for the same competition which had until now slumbered in the archives and is here published for the very first time.
