Ron
Babcock has composed and
edited 50 amazing duets
in alto clef for
Trombones. These duets
can be performed on Tenor
or Alto Trombones and are
a great way to ease into
alto clef being that they
are progressive. The goal
of this book is to
provide an enjoyable
vehicle for learning and
practicing in a new clef.
Some of the duets are
original compositions by
Babcock and some are
arrangements of Baroque
and Classical
composers.
Duets 1-30
are all one-page or less
in length and duets 31-50
are all two pages in
length. As the book
progresses, there are
more difficult key and
time signatures, more
challenging technique and
in the later duets some
cadenzas.
There is a
wide variety of styles
and forms throughout the
book. The final six duets
are arrangements of
concertos and sonatas
originally written for
the Alto Trombone (the
top part containing the
original part), including
works by Albrechtsberger,
Fux, Wagenseil and
Michael Haydn.
