It's style is very simple and non-dramatic unlike the Requiem which he was to begin composing soon after.

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.

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.

Composed by Giuseppe Verdi (1813-1901). Arranged by Ralph Sauer. Italian Romantic. Score and parts. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2844).
