Trombone and Piano

SKU: IS.TRP4208EM

Composed by Jef Schampaert. Brass - Trombone. Metropolis Music Publishers #TRP4208EM. Published by Metropolis Music Publishers (IS.TRP4208EM).

ISBN 9790365042081.

Joze f (Jef) Schampaert's 1952 Dramatische Fantaisie (Fantaisie Dramatique) for trombone and piano, dedicated to trombone professor Peter Roupcinsky, was written as a concours piece for the Royal Conservatoire Antwerp in Belgium. While the rest of the Belgian school was experimenting with a return to lush romanticism (Alpaerts, Maes, and the musical progeny of Benoit), or beginning to prod the tonal bounds of listenable 12-tone and serialism (Constant and Verbesselt), Schampaert took towards a different sound: that of the Impressionists, transmuted through his distinctly Flemish touch.

Trombone & piano - Advanced

SKU: CY.CC2343

Composed by Bax Arnold. Arranged by Sauer Ralph. Romantic/Impressionist. Solo and piano accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2343).

Sir Arnold Bax composed in a style that blended Romantic, Impressionist and Celtic flavors together in a brilliant way. Mr. Sauer has taken these two works originally for Piano and brilliantly transcribed them for Trombone & Piano. The Country Tune begins with a beautiful melody which turns into a jaunty dance. The Burlesque is also dance-like, but mixes 3/4 and 4/4 time in a most inovative way. These works are light, airy & very pleasant to perform and listen to.

Trombone & Piano - Moderately Advanced

SKU: CY.CC2397

Composed by Richard Wagner. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. Romantic solo with Piano. Solo part & Piano. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2397).

Ralph Sauer has arranged a marvelous song by Wagner called the Arrival of the Black Swans or Ankunft be den schwarzen Schwanen for Trombone and Piano.

Arrival of the Black Swans by Richard Wagner was originally written for solo piano in 1861 and first published in 1897. A somber opening is followed by a moving middle section, reminiscent of passages from Lohengrin.

This song is in Wagner's romantic style and is for moderately advanced performers. Length of the song is about 4.5 minutes & includes Tenor Clef for the Trombone part.

Trombone with Piano accompaniment - intermediate

SKU: CY.CC3003

Composed by Oskar Bohme. Arranged by William Stanley. Romantic. Solo part and Piano accompaniment. 9 pages. Cherry Classics #3003. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC3003).

ISBN 9790530058237.

Lieb eslied, Op. 22 No. 2, was originally composed by Böhme around 1907 for solo Cornet and Orchestra and then reduced for Piano accompaniment. The work has rich romantic melodies and harmonies and gives the performers lots of room for expression.
William Stanley has arranged this work beautifully and it is now available for the first time in years for solo Trombone.
The music is perfect for an intermediate to advanced performer and is about 4 minutes in length.

Trombone and Piano - advanced

SKU: CY.CC2646

Composed by Jean Sibelius. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. Finnish Nationalism Romantic. Solo part and Piano accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2646).

Sibelius wrote the five-minute Romance in 1903 for string orchestra, originally titling it Andante. However he was persuaded to change the name about five years later by a critic's review. In 1903, Sibelius was still composing in a Romantic style, not the austere sounds heard later-on after he composed the 4th Symphony. Romance is made up of three sections; a slow Andante, a faster middle section and a slow third section. Mr. Sauer has distilled the music down to a lovely solo for Trombone and Piano. This crowd-pleaser will work well for advanced performers.

Trombone & Piano - advanced

SKU: CY.CC2687

Composed by Richard Strauss. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. Romantic German. Solo part and Piano accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2687).

Strauss's most well-known opera, Der Rosenkavalier has a most convoluted plot. However, knowing all its ins and outs are not necessary with Ralph Sauer's gorgeous arrangement of the suite of Waltzes for Trombone with Piano accompaniment. Written at the very end of the Romantic era in the early 20th century, the melodies are beautiful, the harmonies lush and the rhythms intoxicating. For advanced performers this 12 minute work will be a great addition to any recital.

Composed by Anton Gladkikh. Original Composition. Classical, Educational. Score and Set of Parts. Duration 20 minutes. FLEX Editions #FX073048. Published by FLEX Editions (FL.FX073048).

I remember well when I began to write these pieces: I sat down at the piano in the conservatory, which was almost completely empty at the time... and I improvised the first chords of the first piece. After that I wrote the theme. The music rang loudly in that large auditorium and I could hear how it echoed about the empty corridors of the conservatory... it reminded me of the overture from Charles Gounod's Faust, as my hands still played out the melodies, stretching the limits of the theme which would become, in a sense, the introduction to the whole cycle. I could feel that the story was emerging: a story born from within the music. - Anton GLADKIKH ;

Hoffmanniada is a collection of six short pieces for trombone and piano composed in a style inspired by the great Russian composers of the twentieth century. Sometimes melancholic and romantic, sometimes cheerful and virtuoso, the writing subtlety of Anton Gladkikh perfectly exploits the qualities of power and finesse of both instruments. Fabrice MILLISCHER

This original piece is the first opus of FLEX Editions collection directed by Fabrice MILLISCHER. It is built of 6 movements: 1 - Et finalement ca tourne, 2 - Autonomie de la volonte, 3 - Les lettres, 4 - Lilite, 5 - Quand Dieu crea le temps, 6 - Le jeu des Demiurges ; Instruments: 1 Trombone 1 Piano; Difficuly Level: Grade 5.

Tenor Trombone and Piano - advanced

SKU: CY.CC2494

Composed by Alexander Scriabin. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. Romantic Russian. Solo part and piano score. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2494).

Alexander Scriabin's music has been described as mystical, lyrical and idiosyncratic. He was a most innovative and controversial early modern Russian composer. His works were ignored for many years until recently and are now seen as sincere expression(s) of genius.

The Three Etudes for Trombone and Piano are early works of Scriabin, originally written for solo Piano. They show lyricism, passion, moodiness, chromatic harmonies and great expression.

Mr. Sauer has once again brought three wonderful new works for advanced performers who wish to explore this area, largely unknown to the Trombone world. Those who do will be richly rewarded with the depth of musicanship found in these works.

1. Chanson Triste
2. Valse

An excellent collection of the Russian master's music for the Trombone.

Trombone and Piano - advanced

SKU: CY.CC2319

Composed by Nikolay Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. Romantic. Solo part and accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2319).

The Serenade, Op. 37 was conceived for Cello with Piano accompaniment, but later in life the composer scored the work for the solo instrument with orchestra. The Trombone world knows Rimsky-Korsakov for his Concerto with Band. The Serenade has a very similar mood to the slow movement of the Concerto. It's beautiful lilting rhythm combined with a wonderful melody makes this work very worthwhile. Mr. Sauer brings a true Trombone feel to the 4 1/2 minute work for advanced performers.

Trombone and piano - advanced

SKU: CY.CC2863

Composed by Franz Liszt. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. Romantic. Solo part and Piano accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2863).

Liszt composed the Romance oubliee around 1844 for Piano. It was forgotten until he heard Violist Hermann Ritter at the first performance of Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen at Bayreuth. He fashioned for Ritter a transcription of the work for Viola and Piano as well as ones for the Piano, Violin and Violoncello.
In this short work, the listener hears the agonies of a troubled soul, beginning with a rhapsodic passage, continuing with a cadenza-like section, then a section with arpeggiated figures, finally settling into a peaceful ending.
This 4 minute work is appropriate for advanced performers. With Mr. Sauer's arrangement we now have this lovely version for Trombone and Piano.

ISBN 9790530057582.

Brah ms' 21 Hungarian Dances were completed in 1869 and sent to his publisher without opus numbers. Only three of the works are original compositions. The music mostly of one to five minutes in length was Brahm's biggest seller, originally for solo Piano, but once they were arranged for piano four hands, they exploded in popularity.

Jame s Miller has beautifully arranged five of them (1, 5, 7,8 and 9) for Trombone with Piano accompaniment and are appropriate very advanced performers.

The sound clips are of Mr. Miller from his solo CD album, Coast to Coast, featured on CD Baby.

Scenes From Childhood (Kinderscenen), Opus 15 is a set of 13 pieces of music that Schumann wrote for Piano in 1838. They are his reminiscences of childhood and have been beautifully scored for Tenor Trombone & Piano by Ralph Sauer. The most well known.

By Giacomo Puccini. Arranged by Gordon Bowie. For Bass trombone or tenor trombone. This edition: trombone solo with piano accompaniment. Puccini's famous aria specially transcribed for bass trombone (or tenor trombone, verso). Romantic. Level: Grade Five. Score and solo parts. 10 pages. Published by Serendipity Press.

French composer, Alfred Desenclos (1912-1971) described his music as romantic. His music is expressive and atmospheric, as heard in his Plainchant and Allegretto for Trombone and Piano. Desenclos studied at the Roubaix Conservatory and he won the 1942 Prix de Rome. His Plainchant and Allegretto was published in 1965, towards the end of the composer's life. A typical performance lasts around eight minutes, in which the Trombone solo line is enhanced by rhythm, and technique. As expected, the two movements are contrasting, suitable for the advanced trombonist. For all Trombone players seeking alternative and challenging repertoire, Desenclos' Plainchant and Allegretto makes for a riveting performance.

2. Allegretto vivo scherzando
The Andante is flowing and lyrical and the Allegretto is a lively 6/8 dance in A-B-A form.
The two movements total about 5 minutes and are appropriate for advanced performers.
