Bass trombone solo with 6-part trombone choir - advanced

SKU: CY.CC2580

Composed by Ryan Diefendorfer. Arranged by Ryan Diefendorfer. Contemporary. Score and parts. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2580).

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 them

I. Groundbreaking
The 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. Steffl
Steffl, 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.


II I. 1945
As 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 Pilgrim
Anton 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.

Trombone Ensemble

SKU: SS.50001520

Composed by Eddie Bass. Score and Parts. Published by Seesaw Music Corp (SS.50001520).

Partite is a continuous--that is, connected--set of variations on the chorale melody Herzliebster Jesu, was hast do verbrochen translated in some modern hymnals Ah Holy Jesus, how has Thou offended?. The basic form of the work is rather traditional--a theme played by bass trombone preceded by an introduction and followed by a series of variations. A more fundamental aspect, however, is the shape created by a succession of moods: the introduction is questioning, or perhaps questing; the statement of the theme is quiet but troubled; the three variations following become gradually more mocking and sarcastic, but are overcome by the serene and accepting final section, which incorporates one of J.S. Bach's most moving harmonizations of the chorale. Partite was commissioned by the University of Georgia Trombone Choir, Dr. Phillip Jameson, Director. It is dedicated to the memory of Mark A. Lea. Copyright 1987.

Composed by Johann Pachelbel. Arranged by Keith Terrett. Baroque. Score and parts. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2647).

Pachelbel's grand Chorale Partita with Seven Variations in G is based on the 17th Century Protestant German hymn tune Alle Menschen mussen sterben (All of Mankind is Mortal) by Jakob Hintze. The original form of the work was in C major with eight variations, composed for Organ. Bach, being greatly influenced by Pachelbel, later took up the melody for use in one of his Cantatas.

Keith Terrett has done a great job arranging these elaborate variations of about 6 minutes in length for a Trombone quintet of advanced performers.

The final opera of Wagner's immense work of genius, his Ring Cycle is Götterdämme rung. The Immolation Scene occurs in the final part of Act 3, where Brunnhilde lights a pyre and the ensuing flames bring down the Hall of the Gods, consuming all within it as the curtain falls.

Trombone Ensemble 8-part - moderately advanced

SKU: CY.CC2762

Composed by Gustav Holst. Arranged by Ronald Barron. 20th Century British. Score and parts. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2762).

The Evening-Watch was written in 1925, when Holst lived in Thaxted, England
having had to temporarily leave his teaching duties because of overwork and illness. This setting of Henry Vaughan's ‘Dialogue between the Body and the Soul' was too
austere for listeners of its day and it remained out of print for thirty years, until 1965. Its mood of calm strength and passionate resignation sounds as if it belongs to the 1960's.


This beautiful arrangement for 8-part trombone choir by Ronald Baron seems altogether appropriate given the instrument's vocal character, its frequent use for music at funerals and Holst's other musical passion; his short career as a trombonist.

The 4 minute piece is appropriate for moderately advanced performers.

ISBN 9790530110645. 8.5 x 11 in inches.

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.

Nimrod, the ninth variation from Elgar's masterpiece Op. 36, Enigma Variations (1898-99) is one of the most recognized works in the classical repertoire. There are so many adjectives to describe this piece of genius: stately, majestic, serious, solemn, moving, noble, languid, stoic, enduring and sublime. There are few works in the repertoire that bring forth such strong emotions as this work, which is often performed for funerals and for Memorial Day / Remembrance Day services. Mr. Malmstrom's beautifully lush arrangement is scored for 2 alto trombones (optional), 3 tenor trombones, 2 bass trombones and 1 contrabass trombone (optional).

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.

Respighi completed the 4-movement set of Biblical episodes titled Church Windows in 1925. He actually composed the music first and then added the titles, dispelling any theory of specific religious fervor on his part, but rather creating a general mood with the music.

St. Michael the Archangel, the “battle-sc ene” 2nd movement is about 6 minutes in length.

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.

Trombone Quintet - advanced

SKU: CY.CC2828

Composed by Julius Fucik. Arranged by Wes Ballenger. March. Score and parts. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2828).

Entrance of the Gladiators is a military march composed in 1897 and soon after was also subtitled Thunder and Blazes. It has become a legendary screamer march for circuses to introduce the clowns.

The march is in three sections with some very lyrical moments followed by the chromatic break section featuring the low brass. The final trio section is also lyrical and chromatic at the same time. When played as a screamer the tempo is often taken to extremes.

Wes Ballenger has done an amazing job of arranging this famous march for a virtuosic Trombone quintet.

Jesu, meine Freude was composed sometime between 1723 and 1727, most likely for the St. Thomas Church in Leipzig. It is the longest and most musically complex of Bach's six motets, originally for 5-part choir comprising eleven movements. Mr. Sauer has done a magnificent job transcribing all six of Bach's choral motets BWV 225-230 for 8-part Trombone Ensemble. This is a major undertaking. All are very worthy additions to the Trombone Ensemble repertoire. This work for 8-part Trombone ensemble of eleven movements is about 19 minutes in length. Because of its length, it is possible to divide the music into three sections and perform each section separately. This music is appropriate for advanced performers. The top two voices have parts supplied in both alto and tenor clef.
