Trombone Quintet - advanced

SKU: CY.CC2647

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.

SKU: CY.CC2824

Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. Baroque. Score and parts. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2824).

Bach's Fantasia & Fugue in C minor, BWV 537 is a work for Organ written around the year 1723 while the composer was in residence in Weimar.

Bach composed many of his greatest organ works during this period.

The music of the Fantasia is lush and ornate. The Fugue is an amazing 130 bars in length.


Thi s work was transcribed for orchestra in 1921 by Edward Elgar who mourned after the death of his wife. He was to orchestrate the Fugue and Richard Strauss agreed to do the Fantasia, however after two years Elgar completed the entire work as Strauss never held up his part of the bargain.

Mr. Sauer has subtly added phrasings, breaths and articulations to the original score to aid in the performance for Trombone choir.

The music is about eight minutes in length and is appropriate for advanced performers.
