This fine work has sat dormant for many years and has now come to light thanks to the efforts of Charlie Vernon, Bass Trombonist of the Chicago Symphony, who performed this virtuoso work as a young performer. The concerto is in the standard three movement form: Fast, slow, fast. This publication is a reduction from the original orchestral version (to be released at some point in the future). Here is a description of the Concerto by the composer, John W. Ware. I started on the trombone concerto in my junior year studying composition at Indiana University. While working on it, I learned of an opportunity to make it sort of a thesis piece (though students didn't write a thesis in composition while an undergrad). The original version was for trombone with string orchestra, and it was performed by the IU String Orchestra, conducted by Dr. Arthur Corra, with Robert Priez, trombone, as part of my senior composition recital. I thought the performance was quite good (Priez played extraordinarily well), and the piece received a newspaper review in the Indiana Daily Student, in which the reviewer wrote that the work was almost too exciting. I thought at the time that he had given me and my music a fine compliment. I made a piano version of the accompaniment, shortening and tightening the first movement, for performances in 1966; I made a second revision in 1967 for a performance by E. J. Eaton, trombonist at the University of Tennessee at Martin, arriving at the form in which the work exists now. The first movement is in fairly normal sonata-allegro form, in the key of A minor. It alternates between assertive and more thoughtful moods. There is no introduction; the soloist enters immediately and dominates much of the movement. The main theme is--by some manipulation--a source for most of the other themes, and all of the themes are used in close proximity to each other, including contrapuntal combinations, especially near the end. Originally the movement included a lengthy fugato, now much shortened and including a stretto that builds and subsides before a cadenza leading to a coda based on both the principal and secondary themes. Key relations in this movement, as in the other two, are quite free and often chromatic, with frequent third-relations; but returns to the tonic at the end are emphatic. The writing is challenging for both soloist and accompanist; the piece is substantial, requiring technique and stamina. The second movement is in F minor and is also built on both contrast and close relationships between the main and secondary themes. The main theme is heard in the piano part before the soloist enters. The mood is more lyric than in the first movement, but with dramatic episodes also. In this movement are some definite derivations from themes in the first movement. The ending is a sort of lengthened shadow of the opening. The finale returns to A minor, with themes slightly related to polonaise rhythms, but with strong echoes of first-movement themes. Here, too, dramatic and lyric episodes alternate, with dotted rhythms frequently propelling the music forward. The introduction is a brief and simple preparation for the solo entry. Later in the movement, a very brief, slightly slower section is soon overtaken by the original tempo. Toward the end, there is a second cadenza, again leading to a swift and energetic coda. The work is about 20 minutes in length and is appropriate for advanced performers.

This Johann Friedrich Fasch piece, originally composed for bassoon, has been performed by instrumentalists other than bassoonists for decades. This edition for tenor trombone requires a skilled trombonist (grade 6) who possesses great dexterity with the slide. The tessitura has been carefully altered so that it falls within a range that is more suitable for the tenor trombone, eliminating notes that were below the staff. Trombonist Gerald Felker has carefully edited this piece so as to not compromise the musical integrity. Total duration 15:45.

The E minor Sonata Op. 38 by Brahms was composed between 1862 and 1865. He intended the Cellist and Pianist to be equal musical partners. The Sonata is an homage to Bach, the principal theme of the first movement and the fugue are based on Contrapunctus 4 and 13 of the Art of Fugue.

The Sonata in E minor is a major work, 25 minutes in length, brilliantly arranged by Ralph Sauer for advanced artists.

SKU: CY.CC2718

Composed by Georges Bizet. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. 19th Century French. Solo part and Piano accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2718).

The Chants du Rhin (Songs of the Rhine), a cycle of six pieces, based on poems by Joseph Mery, were written in 1865, and Bizet performed two of them on 16 April 1866 at a soiree of the Beaujolais Philharmonic Society. The songs are grouped symmetrically around La bohemienne as the central piece, framed by two meditatively yearning pieces (in E and D flat major) and two vividly exuberant ones (similarly in E and D flat major), with L'aurore serving as an introduction.

In this cycle Bizet takes up the theme of the gypsy girl which had already entered European music in the operas The Bohemian Girl by the Irish composer Michael William Balfe and Verdi's Il trovatore, as well as in Franz Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsodies for piano. Bizet will return to it one year later in La jolie fille de Perth and ten years later in Carmen. The fourth piece Les confidences shows similarities in tonality, structure and motifs to the middle part of the third movement of Chopin's Sonata in B minor.

SKU: CY.CC2726

Composed by Armand Russell. Contemporary American. Solo part and Piano accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2726).

The first movement, Prologue, consists of an Exposition (bars 1-42) with a main theme followed by four development sections and ending with a return to the main theme before a short coda. The second movement, Variants is a set of seven variations on the theme presented in the opening with descriptive terms pointing out the contrasts between the variations. The final movement is titled an Epilogue follows the general structure of ABCDCEBA which is a modified arch form with an abundant use of dance-like syncopated rhythms but a lyric and less active middle section D for contrast.

This work of about 17 minutes in length is suitable for advanced performers.
