PROGRAM NOTES by the ComposerJohn Henry was born a slave in the 1840’s or 1850’s. It is important to remember that no one knows for sure if John Henry existed or is a tall tale created by writers. That is one of the things that makes the legend so intriguing.According to the legend, he grew to stand 6 feet tall, 200 pounds – a giant in that day.Though the story of John Henry sounds like the quintessential tall tale, it is certainly based, at least in part, on historical circumstance. There are disputes as to where the legend originates. Some place John Henry in West Virginia, while recent research suggests Alabama. Still, all share a similar back-story.In order to construct the railroads, companies hired thousands of men to smooth out terrain and cut through obstacles that stood in the way of the proposed tracks. One such chore that figures heavily into some of the earliest John Henry ballads is the blasting of the Big Bend Tunnel, more than a mile straight through a mountain in West Virginia.Steel-drivinâ₠¬â„¢ men like John Henry used large hammers and stakes to pound holes into the rock, which were were then filled with explosives that would blast a cavity deeper and deeper into the mountain. In the folk ballads, the central event took place under such conditions. Eager to reduce costs and speed up progress, some tunnel engineers were using steam drills to power their way into the rock. According to the great American tall tales, on hearing of the machine, John Henry challenged the steam drill to a contest. He won, but died of exhaustion, his life cut short by his own superhuman effort.This composition uses quotes from the spiritual Every Time I Feel the Spirit and the folk song The Ballad of John Henry.JOHN HENRY’S BIG was composed for trombonist David Jackson.

Les 20 morceaux de ce recueil ? arrangements dâ??airs connus et compositions originales ? sont destinés aux élèves qui jouent depuis environ trois ans. Ils profiteront tous deux de ce travail et prendront doublement plaisir interpréter ces morceaux. Après tout, jouer avec dâ??autres est un des grands plaisirs quâ??apporte la pratique de la musique !

Il livello di difficolt dei brani contenuti nella pubblicazione è molto simile per entrambi gli strumentisti, rendendo così più facile unâ??esecuzione con lâ??accompagnamento del piano.

Trombone & Piano - Advanced

SKU: CY.CC2406

Composed by Gabriel Faure. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. French Impressionist. Solo part and Piano. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2406).

Faure is well known for his lyricism and haunting harmonies. In a way, he was the father of French Impressionist music.

The Serenade, Opus 98 was originally written for the great 20th century Cellist, Pablo Casals.

Mr. Ralph Sauer has kept the arrangement in the same key as the Cello. The work is playable by advanced performers and is in tenor clef most of the way through.

This arrangement is another example of Mr. Sauer's excellent feel for the subtleties of the composer's style.
