Trombone Quartet - Moderately Advanced

SKU: CY.CC2372

Composed by Tomas Luis de Victoria. Arranged by Andrew Converse. Renaissance. Full score & Parts. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2372).

Tomas Luis de Victoria was the most famous composer of the 16th century in Spain, and one of the most important composers of the Counter-Reformation, along with Palestrina and Orlando di Lasso. Victoria was not only a composer, but also an accomplished organist and singer. However, he preferred the life of a composer to that of a performer. He is sometimes known as the Spanish Palestrina because he may have been taught by Palestrina.

O Magnum Mysterium is a 4 part a cappella motet written in Latin for the Catholic Church service and is performed mostly around the Christmas period as the text refers to the great mystery of the Virgin birth, animals and baby Jesus in the manger. This work was written during the composer's stay in Rome and has some of Palestrina's influence.

Dr. Converse has done a beautiful job of transcribing one of the most beautiful sacred choral works of the Renaissance period.

Ave Maria is a traditional Catholic prayer asking for intercession from the Virgin Mary. The prayer has often been set to music.

Frank Gazda has beautifully arranged four musical settings of the prayer for Trombone Quartet or four-part Trombone Ensemble by: Jacob Arcadelt (Renaissance), Johann Joseph Fux (Baroque), Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Classical) and Giuseppe Verdi (Romantic).

Alth ough originally composed as four-part choral settings, they work perfectly for the Trombone. Each piece stands on its own as a work of beauty, or the four can be performed as a whole. They are at a moderately advanced level of difficulty.

Trombone Quartet - moderately advanced

SKU: CY.CC2755

Composed by Anton Bruckner. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. German Romantic. Score and parts. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2755).

Bruckner's Pange Lingua motet, composed in 1868 is a hymn by the thirteenth-century theologian, St. Thomas Aquinas. The setting of the simple hymn is chorale-like, with the same music used for all three verses, and a lovely Amen being added to mark its finish. The text haunted Bruckner since his early years and he wrote a few settings of it during his lifetime. The music with all of its simplicity has some unexpected dissonances.

Mr. Sauer's lovely arrangement of about 3 minutes in length is appropriate for moderately advanced performers.
