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.

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.

Trombone Octet - advanced

SKU: CY.CC2723

Composed by Igor Stravinsky. Arranged by Randall Malmstrom. Russian 20th Century. Score and parts. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2723).

Igor Stravinsky's Round of the Princesses (Ronde des princesses) appears as scene ten in the 1910 ballet score. In the composer's popular Suite this beautiful lyrical movement appears just before the explosive Katchai dance.

This arrangement of about 6 minutes in length by Randall Malmstrom wonderfully exploits the smooth lyrical playing of the performers.

Trombone Octet - advanced

SKU: CY.CC2710

Composed by Franz Schubert. Arranged by Randall Malmstrom. Austrian Romantic. Score and parts. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2710).

Schubert's delightful lyrical and bouncy Scherzo from Symphony No. 9 (The Great C major) has been arranged for 8-part Trombone Ensemble by Randall Malmstrom.

Malmstrom's arrangement of the complete Scherzo movement really works and is appropriate for advanced performers.
