ISBN 9790530111277. 8.5 x 11 in inches.

Bach's Motet Der Geist hilft unser Schwachheit auf (The Spirit gives aid to our weakness) BWV 226 was composed in 1729. The Motet was written for the funeral of the blessed rector Ernesti, Professor of poetry at Leipzig University. It is written for eight voices of two four-part choirs. 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 double 4-part choir of three movements is about 7 1/2 minutes in length and appropriate for advanced performers. The top voices in each choir have parts supplied in both alto and tenor clef.

A beautiful vocal work of about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes in length transcribed for 8-part antiphonal trombone choir by Ralph Sauer, L.A. Philharmonic Principal Trombone. Handl's Pater Noster is not too difficult and would be appropriate for almost any level group including high school level. The range is conservative with an occasional high B-flat. Jacob Handl was an Austrian composer of Slovene descent, born in Ljubljana. Choirmaster to the Bishop of Olmutz 1579-1585, he lived thereafter in Prague as an organist.

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.

Composed by Richard Lawn. Classical. Score and Parts. Cherry Classics #CC3087. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC3087).

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.

Composed by Henry Wolking. Classical. Score and Parts. Cherry Classics #CC3135. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC3135).

ISBN 9790530111048. 8.5 x 11 in inches.

Henry Wolking's The Best Dam Trombone Quintet Ever may just be! It is a fun, feel-good piece to perform and to listen to. The undulating rhythms and close harmonies produce a pleasing mood with a hint of a jazz feel. The music gives you a big hug. Here is a description of the work by the composer: In the summer of 2017 my wife and I moved to the Nevada Dam town of Boulder City. The town began as a construction camp in early 1930s for the workers of the Boulder Dam (later renamed the Hoover Dam). The dam is one of the worlds great construction projects of the 20th century and has over a million yearly visitors. My house is less than ten minutes away from the dam, and because the dam in one way or another affects everyone living in this unique Nevada town, my newest trombone quintet (composed in January 2018) is the best, well you get the picture. It is a high energy single movement work inspired by the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead. Ranges are fairly moderate with a high C# in the first trombone at the end. This is a fun romp for five dam fine trombonists. The 4 1/2 minute work is appropriate for advanced performers.

Composed by David Wilborn. Classical. Score and Parts. Cherry Classics #CC3143. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC3143).

ISBN 9790530111116. 8.5 x 11 in inches.

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.

The well-known Maple Leaf Rag is one of Joplin's early works, written in 1899. It has been recorded by countless artists and has come back into the mainstream after the Ragtime revival of the 1970's.

Joplin lived and performed for a while in Sedalia, Missouri, working at the Maple Leaf Club, from where some believe the work got its name.

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). This arrangement of 3-4 minutes in length is appropriate for advanced performers.

David Wilborn's SlideShow for 8-part Trombone Ensemble is a showy work that has continuous energy all the way throughout. It is in A-B-A format with the B section being a bit more relaxed.

The music is about 6 minutes in length, all in bass clef and is appropriate for advanced performers. SlideShow was written for Jon Bohls and the SlideShow Trombone Choir of Dallas, Texas.

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.

ISBN 9790530111437. 8.5 x 11 in inches.

The mysterious Prelude and Fugue in B-flat minor BWV 867 is special in that its fugue has five voices, has a leap of a minor 9th, and concludes with a hyperstretto (remember the theory class you slept through), the overlapping of ALL five voices offset by only one note. This seven minute work of genius beautifully arranged by Jim Tranquilla of the iTromboni ensemble is appropriate for advanced performers.

Symphonie Fantastique was written in 1830 as one of the first program symphonies in musical history. The March of the Scaffold is the fourth of five movements, telling the story of a drugged-induced dream where an artist who has murdered his lover is condemned to death and marched to the scaffold where he witnesses his head being chopped off by a guillotine. This arrangement for 8-part Trombone Ensemble of about 7 minutes in length by Randall Malmstrom is an arrangement of the full movement and is appropriate for advanced performers.

8-part trombone ensemble - moderately advanced

SKU: CY.CC2598

Composed by Antonio Lotti. Arranged by Philip Brink. Italian Renaissance. Score and parts. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2598).

Crucifixus by Antonio Lotti is part of his Credo in F. This motet of 8 voices is a wonderful example of polyphony with many suspensions thrown in for good measure. The music is sweet with a beautiful sadness, making it a work that touches most listeners in a very personal way.

Mr. Brink has transposed the work down a fifth into the key of F minor (resolving to F major at the conclusion), otherwise keeping the music true to its origins.

This 4 minute work has a range of up to high B-flat for the 1st part. The top four parts are in tenor clef.

The mp3 sound file is from a live performance of the Rundfunkchor conducted by Sir Simon Rattle from YouTube.

Samu el Scheidt's Galliard Battaglia, composed around 1621 and popularized by the Canadian Brass, has become one of the most recognized works in the brass quintet repertoire. This secular work was originally written for five viols. The Galliard dance style, very popular at the time serves as a perfect foil for the music's echoing back-and-forth fanfares and brilliant scales.

Neal Bennett of iTromboni has done a great job of arranging this music for Trombone quintet of 2 altos (possible on tenor also), 2 tenors & bass, playable by advanced performers. Length is about two minutes.

Havi ng written over five hundred choral works, Salvation is Created, written in 1914, is perhaps Pavel Chesnokov's most famous. Yet ironically, it was one of his very last sacred works before he was forced to secular composition by the new Soviet government.
This beautiful arrangement by James Tranquilla of iTromboni brings together a beautiful communion hymn based on Kievan chant with an added homage to Rimsky-Korsakov's great Russian Easter Overture solo.
About 4 minutes in length, this work is appropriate for advanced performers.
