Trombone quartet

SKU: P2.80075

Composed by Alejandro Guardia, Jr. Chamber music, 20th century. Published by Potenza Music (P2.80075).

Composer Alejandro Guardia, Jr. says, Escapades was written as a companion piece to my tuba quartet Excursions. Very much like Excursions, Escapades uses energetic tempos and ostinati. Escapades dives into the smoother, more streamlined experience of city life. The three movements take the musicians on a journey through stop and go rush hour traffic (I. The Daily Grind), an afternoon lull at work leading to falling asleep on the job (II. Daydreaming) and the realization that work is done for the day and it's time to go home again (III. Quittin' Time!).

Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications #012-3370-75. Published by Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications (CL.012-3370-75).

The Glacier Express is a famous Swiss excursion train that has traveled through the Swiss countryside between Zermatt and St. Moritz since 1930. Larry Neeck's new composition is clearly descriptive of the train's journey and the spectacular scenery that passes throughout mountains, glaciers, lakes, tunnels and quaint Swiss villages. Lots of musical contrasts including a nice trumpet solo and interesting parts for every section! Ample percussion parts are sure to keep even a large herd of drummers both interested and involved. A wonderful piece for developing bands and an outstanding choice for festival or concert performances!
