Styli
stic Etudes for Trombone
was written for
intermediateto advanced
level trombonists,
seeking to meet
thedemands of the modern
marketplace for
performers. AsI often
tell my students,
it’s simply not
enough to mastera single
style and fake the rest.
To make a living as
aperformer, trombonists
are expected to play
many, manydifferent
styles authentically.
Classical performers
studyhard and devote
themselves to mastering
the stylisticnuances of
various eras, various
composers, variousforms;
jazz musicians seek to
accurately reflect the
stylesof everything from
bar-room burlesque to
Coltrane; hornbands in
the funk, rock, ska and
hip-hop idioms
mustreflect attention to
the details of their
influences even asthey
create new paths through
popular music.This etude
collection is an attempt
to help studentsand their
teachers work on the
details associated
withmastering each of
these various styles.In
order to perform with the
correct feel,
articulationand sound,
trombonists must first
get these concepts
intheir head through
diligent listening and
then disciplinedpractice
playing in every single
style. The same
wayorchestral players
study the symphonic
literature andexcerpts,
or the way a professional
jazz musician mightwork
on chord changes in
excruciating detail, a
wellroundedtrombone
player must master styles
by listeningto and
playing with great
recordings. Most of the
etudesin this book are
based on styles from
specific
orchestralliterature,
jazz standards and other
styles such as
NewOrleans’ funk
music (Meters) or the
music of JamesBrown and
Tower of Power.One final
note: some of these are
hard. On purpose.
Theseare not warm-ups
that you can play through
mindlesslyto get your
face going. These are
“study
pieces†in the
oldfashionedsense. They
are designed to challenge
you asa player, to make
you a little
uncomfortable. Some
aretougher than others,
of course, but none of
them are easy.If you can
play through each of
these well, with
greatmusicianship and
impeccable technique, you
will be anincredibly
versatile instrumentalist
and be able to
secureperformance
opportunities that are
outside the comfortzone
of many
trombonists.Thanks for
buying this book. I hope
you enjoy workingthrough
these, whether
you’re a teacher,

and excerpts, or the way

Orleans’ funk
music (Meters) or the
music of James Brown and
Tower of Power.How these
etudes were conceived,
composed and transcribed:
The style or concept of
the etude was thought out
in my head and ear. I
then improvised in that
style and concept on my
trombone, recording my
efforts until I was
satisfied with the etude.
All along, my goal was to
play the range of the
instrument while
emphasizing certain
articulations, rhythms,
range and, fundamentally,
the intended style of the
etude. The resulting
etude was then
transcribed by a terrific
graduate student named
Zach Bornheimer, who also
works with many other
classical and jazz
composers as a
copyist/arranger.Tips for
working on the etudes:
Seek out professional
recordings that match the
style of each etude to
get a good idea of what
the etude should sound
like musically. My
recording of each of
these etudes is available
for download and can be
purchased online for a
modest fee. Search for
“Brantley
Etudes†at either
iTunes or CDBaby.
Practice each etude very
slowly and in segments as
needed, using a
metronome. Record
yourself and listen for
good technique,
musicianship and
authenticity of style
with your sound, feel and
articulations. Compare
your own efforts to the
sounds you’ve
heard on recordings.
Would you fit in that
ensemble or band? If
range is an issue, take
certain notes or passages
down or up an octave.
Work on your fundamentals
every day, including the
techniques and skills
needed for these etudes.
Be patient! Small
improvements every day
result in big success
over time. Always play
with a wide dynamic
range. Always play with
line and direction.
Always play with
impeccable time as well
as rhythm. Use a
metronome to help with
this. Always play in
tune. You can work on
this with a tuner as well
as with drones. Play
these for teachers,
friends, peers and
colleagues not only for
their feedback but also
for the experience of
informal performance. An
audience changes
everything. Make music,
listen to music, record
yourself, play in public
and have fun!One final
note: some of these are
hard. On purpose. These
are not warm-ups that you
can play through
mindlessly to get your
face going. These are
“study

Commissione
d for a consortium of
high school and college
bands in the north Dallas
region, FOR THEMYSTIC
HARMONY is a 10-minute
inspirational work in
homage to Norwood and
Elizabeth Dixon,patrons
of the Fort Worth
Symphony and the Van
Cliburn Competition.
Welcher draws melodic
flavorfrom five American
hymns, spirituals, and
folk tunes of the 19th
century. The last of
these sources toappear is
the hymn tune For the
Beauty of the Earth,
whose third stanza is the
quatrain: “For the
joy of earand eye, For
the heart and
mind’s delight,
For the mystic harmony,
Linking sense to sound
and sight,â€giving
rise to the work’s
title. This work,
commissioned for a
consortium of high school
bands in the north Dallas
area, is my fifteenth
maturework for wind
ensemble (not counting
transcriptions). When I
asked Todd Dixon, the
band director
whospearheaded this
project, what kind of a
work he most wanted, he
first said
“something
that’s basically
slow,†butwanted to
leave the details to me.
During a long subsequent
conversation, he
mentioned that his
grandparents,Norwood and
Elizabeth Dixon, were
prime supporters of the
Fort Worth Symphony,
going so far as to
purchase anumber of high
quality instruments for
that orchestra. This
intrigued me, so I asked
more about his
grandparentsand was
provided an 80-page
biographical sketch.
Reading that article,
including a long section
about theirdevotion to
supporting a young man
through the rigors of the
Van Cliburn International
Piano Competition fora
number of years, moved me
very much. Norwood and
Elizabeth Dixon
weren’t just
supporters of the arts;
theywere passionate
lovers of music and
musicians. I determined
to make this work a
testament to that love,
and tothe religious faith
that sustained them both.
The idea of using extant
hymns was also suggested
by Todd Dixon,and this
10-minute work is the
result.I have employed
existing melodies in
several works, delving
into certain kinds of
religious music more than
a fewtimes. In seeking
new sounds, new ways of
harmonizing old tunes,
and the contrapuntal
overlaying of one
tunewith another, I was
able to make works like
ZION (using 19th-century
Revivalist hymns) and
LABORING SONGS(using
Shaker melodies) reflect
the spirit of the
composers who created
these melodies, without
sounding likepastiches or
medleys. I determined to
do the same with this new
work, with the added
problem of
employingmelodies that
were more familiar. I
chose five tunes from the
19th century: hymns,
spirituals, and
folk-tunes.Some of these
are known by differing
titles, but they all
appear in hymnals of
various Christian
denominations(with
various titles and
texts). My idea was to
employ the tunes without
altering their notes,
instead using aconstantly
modulating sense of
harmony —
sometimes leading to
polytonal harmonizations
of what are
normallysimple four-chord
hymns.The work begins and
ends with a repeated
chime on the note C: a
reminder of steeples,
white clapboard
churchesin the country,
and small church organs.
Beginning with a
Mixolydian folk tune of
Caribbean origin
presentedtwice with
layered entrances, the
work starts with a
feeling of mystery and
gentle sorrow. It
proceeds, after along
transition, into a second
hymn that is sometimes
connected to the sea
(hence the sensation of
water andwaves throughout
it). This tune, by John
B. Dykes (1823-1876), is
a bit more chromatic and
“shifty†than
mosthymn-tunes, so I
chose to play with the
constant sensation of
modulation even more than
the original does. Atthe
climax, the familiar
spiritual “Were you
there?†takes over,
with a double-time
polytonal feeling
propelling itforward at
“Sometimes it
causes me to
tremble.â€Trumpets
in counterpoint raise the
temperature, and the
tempo as well, leading
the music into a third
tune (ofunknown
provenance, though it
appears with different
texts in various hymnals)
that is presented in a
sprightlymanner. Bassoons
introduce the melody, but
it is quickly taken up by
other instruments over
three
“verses,â€cons
tantly growing in
orchestration and volume.
A mysterious second tune,
unrelated to this one,
interrupts it inall three
verses, sending the
melody into unknown
regions.The final melody
is “For the Beauty
of the Earth.†This
tune by Conrad Kocher
(1786-1872) is commonly
sung atThanksgiving
— the perfect
choice to end this work
celebrating two people
known for their
generosity.Keeping the
sense of constant
modulation that has been
present throughout, I
chose to present this
hymn in threegrowing
verses, but with a twist:
every four bars, the
“key†of the
hymn seems to shift
— until the
“Lord of all,
toThee we praiseâ€
melody bursts out in a
surprising compound
meter. This, as it turns
out, was the
“mystery
tuneâ€heard earlier
in the piece. After an
Ivesian, almost polytonal
climax, the Coda begins
over a long B( pedal. At
first,it seems to be a
restatement of the first
two phrases of “For
the Beauty†with
long spaces between them,
but it soonchanges to a
series of
“Amenâ€
cadences, widely
separated by range and
color. These, too, do not
conform to anykey, but
instead overlay each
other in ways that are
unpredictable but
strangely comforting.The
third verse of “For
the Beauty of the
Earth†contains
this quatrain:“For
the joy of ear and eye,
–For the heart and
mind’s delightFor
the mystic harmonyLinking
sense to sound and
sightâ€and it was
from this poetry that I
drew the title for the
present work. It is my
hope that audiences and
performerswill find
within it a sense of
grace: more than a little
familiar, but also quite
new and unexpected.

“Now
II†is the second
part of a triptych of
chamber pieces entitled
“Profiles of
Lightâ€. The first
part is written for solo
piano (Now I, BA 11073),
the second for
unaccompanied cello. The
two instruments are then
combined in the
concluding third part,
Uriel (BA
11013).
All three
pieces were inspired by
the Abstract
Expressionist paintings
of the American artist
Barnett Newman. Newman's
work has had a formative
impact on Matthias
Pintscher's artistic
philosophy: what does it
mean to reduce things to
essentials while seeking
maximum immediacy of
expression? Several of
Newman's paintings have a
radiant light of uncommon
intensity, yet resembling
a dark illumination. The
same sort of thing is
found in the late works
of Franz Schubert, where
a comparable profundity
and retrospective
yearning likewise shine
through the surface of
even the brightest
tonalities.
This
is a piece about
resonances, about the
inward and outward givens
of existence, about life
itself: 'I find the cello
a highly suitable
instrument for depicting
such existential
conditions'.

is known for his unique
composition style.
Incorporating complex
rhythms, harmony,
melodies and his passion
for ornithology, his
Catalogue of Birds for

the composer's popular,
distinctive style.
Messiaen became
fascinated by birdsong
from an early age,
however, it wasn't until
the 1950s that he took
his passion to a new
level, incorporating
birdsong in to all of his
compositions. Catalogue
of Birds, composed in
1958, comprises thirteen
movements, each depicting
a specific bird. The
first volume contains the
first three movements; 1)
The Alpine Chough, 2) The
Oriole, and 3) The Blue
Merle. Catalogue of Birds
is essential to all
advanced pianists seeking
to expand and vary their

Jour
ney back to ancient
Greece and view a place
of long-gone legend.
Follow the trail to the
Kingdom of Ithaca, from
the heroic palace, to a
place of tranquility, to
a reckless dance of
abandon, to the return of
Odysseus. The melodic
material used in 200 B.C.
is from a two thousand
year old Greek hymn to
Apollo. The legendary
adventures of Odysseus as
described by Homer in the
Odyssey (ca. 700 B.C.)
provide the programmatic
material. The music is
freely based upon the
First Delphic Hymn (or
Paen to Apollo), composed
ca. 200 B.C. The source
is a transcription
appearing on pages 363 -
367 of Ancient and
Oriental Music, Edited by
Egon Wellesz (Oxford
University Press: London,
1957). Each movement of
the work depicts a key
event in the epic Homeric
poem, as described below.
Movement I: Intrada - The
first four notes of this
movement, C - Bb - G -
Bb, are the melodic and
harmonic foundation for
the entire work. These
pitches, introduced in a
simple and direct manner,
are subsequently
developed in more complex
fashions throughout the
suite. Following this
stately introduction is a
militaristic fanfare that
introduces the
dotted-eighth and
sixteenth-note figure
later reprised in the
second and fourth
movements. Indeed, all
the musical ideas which
will be central to the
remaining movements first
appear in the Intrada.
This movement depicts the
grandeur of Odysseus and
his kingdom in Ithaca,
and establishes the
heroic mood of the entire
work. Movement II: Ballad
- After a brief
restatement of the
opening
dotted-eighth-and-sixteen
th fanfare, the second
movement extracts the
falling third (Bb to G)
from the C - Bb - G - Bb
motif and extends it and
expands it into a
haunting solo for alto
saxophone. The C - Bb - G
- Bb motif appears again
(see measures 23 - 33 in
trumpets) as counterpoint
to this melody, now
pulsing through the thick
texture of the band. Many
performers have come to
view the Ballad as the
emotional epicenter of
the entire suite; my
conception of the Ballad
is to achieve a union of
pathos and strength.
Programmatically, this
movement depicts
Odysseus's son,
Telemachos, as he both
longs for Odysseus's
return and stoically
defends his father's
kingdom. Movement III:
Dance - It will take
Odysseus twenty years to
return to Ithaca. During
his absence, noblemen
besiege his palace,
violating the sanctity of
the household and seeking
the hand of his wife,
Penelope. This movement
depicts the wanton
revelries that result.
The original four-note
motif is chromatically
altered and the meter is
made irregular. The rapid
tempo, driving
percussion, and angular
meter and melodies
combine in an explosion
of reckless abandon.
Movement IV: March
Building from a delicate
woodwind ensemble
accompanied by finger
cymbals to a fully
orchestrated statement
replete with thundering
percussion, this is a
resounding march of
victory. Odysseus has
returned in triumph to
restore dignity to his
household and to reclaim
the throne of the Kingdom
of Ithaca. Ensemble
