The ancient
Egyptian empire began
around 3100 B.C. and
continued for over 3000
years until Alexander the
Great conquered the
country in 332 B.C. Over
the centuries, the
Egyptian empire grew and
flourished into a highly
developed society. They
invented hieroglyphics,
built towering pyramids
(including the Great
Pyramid of Giza, the
oldest of the Seven
Wonders of the World),
and the created many
household items we still
use today, including
toothbrushes, toothpaste,
eyeliner, black ink, and
the forerunner of
modern-day paper.
Included among their
achievements were a
series of highly
developed funerary
practices and beliefs in
the Afterlife. As the
average lifespan of an
Egyptian hovered around
30 years, living past the
death of oneAs physical
body was a legitimate
concern. Egyptians
believed that upon death,
their souls would
undertake a harrowing
journey through the
Netherworld. If they
survived the horrific
creatures and arduous
trials that awaited them,
then their souls would be
reunified with their
bodies (hence the need to
preserve the body through
mummification) and live
forever in a perfect
version of the life they
had lived in Egypt. To
achieve this, Egyptians
devised around 200
magical spells and
incantations to aid souls
on the path to the
Afterlife. These spells
are collectively called
The Book of the Dead.
Particular spells would
be chosen by the family
of the deceased and
inscribed on the tombAs
walls and scrolls of
papyrus, as well as on a
stone scarab placed over
the deceasedAs heart.
Subsequent collections of
spells and mortuary
texts, such as The Book
of Gates, assisted a soul
in navigating the twelve
stages of the
Netherworld. Not only did
these spells protect and
guide the soul on this
dangerous path, but they
also served as a
safeguard against any
unbecoming behavior an
Egyptian did while alive.
For instance, if a person
had robbed another while
alive, there was a spell
that would prevent the
soulAs heart from
revealing the truth when
in the Hall of Judgment.
Rites for the Afterlife
follows the path of a
soul to the Afterlife. In
Inscriptions from the
Book of the Dead
(movement 1), the soul
leaves the body and
begins the journey,
protected by spells and
incantations written on
the tombAs walls. In
Passage though the
Netherworld (movement 2),
the soul is now on a
funerary barque, being
towed through the
Netherworld by four of
the regionAs inhabitants.
We hear the soul slowly
chanting incantations as
the barque encounters
demons, serpents,
crocodiles, lakes of
fire, and other terrors.
The soul arrives at The
Hall of Judgment in
movement 3. Standing
before forty-two divine
judges, the soul
addresses each by name
and gives a A!negative
confessionA(r) connected
to each judge (i.e. A!I
did not rob,A(r) A!I did
not do violence,A(r) and
so on). Afterwards, the
soulAs heart is put on a
scale to be weighed
against a feather of
MaAat, the goddess of
truth. If the heart
weighs more than the
feather, it will be eaten
by Ammut, a hideous
creature that lies in
wait below the scale, and
the soul will die a
second and permanent
death (this was the worst
fear of the Egyptians).
But if the heart is in
balance with the feather,
the soul proceeds onward.
The final stage of the
journey is the arrival at
The Field of Reeds
(movement 4), which is a
perfect mirror image of
the soulAs life in
ancient Egypt. The soul
reunites with deceased
family members, makes
sacrifices to the
Egyptian gods and
goddess, harvests crops
from plentiful fields of
wheat under a brilliant
blue sky, and lives
forever next to the
abundant and nourishing
waters of the Nile. Rites
for the Afterlife was
commissioned by the
Barlow Endowment on
behalf of the Akropolis
Reed Quintet, Calefax
Reed Quintet, and the
Brigham Young University
Reed Quintet. -S.G.

The composition
the Lonesome Knight was
based on a fairytale. The
piece was written by
Saskia Apon for the
National Brass Band
Championships
2001.
Once upon a
time there was a knight
who went to fight and
defeat the dragon that
had beenkilling the
people of his town.
There is a short but
intense battle between
the two and the knight is
triumphant. However
whilst persuing the
dragon the knight has
travelled far away from
his home and now is lost.
He roames around trying
to findhis way home, but
exhausted and weary he
falls to the ground. He
awakens startled by a
Giant and a group of
Goblins who are
celebrating the death of
the dragon. The
knight joins in the
festivities but after a
long evening is once more
leftalone. The sun
rises the following
morning and he sees a
castle on the horizon. He
enthousiastcally ventures
towards the castle in the
hope of meeting other
people. However he
becomes greatly
disillusioned when there
is none to be found.
Inhis desperation the
knight climbs the tower
ready to jump off.
Suddenly he hears a
heavenly voice. Right
before him is the most
beautiful princess he has
ever seen. She graciously
thanks him for killing
the dragon, a spark
ingnites between themand
they build a life
together and.... live
happily ever
after!

Styli
stic Etudes for Trombone
was written for
intermediateto advanced
level trombonists,
seeking to meet
thedemands of the modern
marketplace for
performers. AsI often
tell my students,
it’s simply not
enough to mastera single
style and fake the rest.
To make a living as
aperformer, trombonists
are expected to play
many, manydifferent
styles authentically.
Classical performers
studyhard and devote
themselves to mastering
the stylisticnuances of
various eras, various
composers, variousforms;
jazz musicians seek to
accurately reflect the
stylesof everything from
bar-room burlesque to
Coltrane; hornbands in
the funk, rock, ska and
hip-hop idioms
mustreflect attention to
the details of their
influences even asthey
create new paths through
popular music.This etude
collection is an attempt
to help studentsand their
teachers work on the
details associated
withmastering each of
these various styles.In
order to perform with the
correct feel,
articulationand sound,
trombonists must first
get these concepts
intheir head through
diligent listening and
then disciplinedpractice
playing in every single
style. The same
wayorchestral players
study the symphonic
literature andexcerpts,
or the way a professional
jazz musician mightwork
on chord changes in
excruciating detail, a
wellroundedtrombone
player must master styles
by listeningto and
playing with great
recordings. Most of the
etudesin this book are
based on styles from
specific
orchestralliterature,
jazz standards and other
styles such as
NewOrleans’ funk
music (Meters) or the
music of JamesBrown and
Tower of Power.One final
note: some of these are
hard. On purpose.
Theseare not warm-ups
that you can play through
mindlesslyto get your
face going. These are
“study
pieces†in the
oldfashionedsense. They
are designed to challenge
you asa player, to make
you a little
uncomfortable. Some
aretougher than others,
of course, but none of
them are easy.If you can
play through each of
these well, with
greatmusicianship and
impeccable technique, you
will be anincredibly
versatile instrumentalist
and be able to
secureperformance
opportunities that are
outside the comfortzone
of many
trombonists.Thanks for
buying this book. I hope
you enjoy workingthrough
these, whether
you’re a teacher,
student,performer, or
weekend warrior. I
learned a lot by
puttingthese together and
I hope you find them
useful and
helpful. Stylistic

details of their
influences even as they
create new paths through
popular music.This etude
collection is an attempt
to help students and
their teachers work on
the details associated
with mastering each of
these various styles.In
order to perform with the
correct feel,
articulation and sound,
trombonists must first
get these concepts in
their head through
diligent listening and
then disciplined practice
playing in every single
style. The same way
orchestral players study
the symphonic literature
and excerpts, or the way
a professional jazz
musician might work on
chord changes in
excruciating detail, a
well-rounded trombone
player must master styles
by listening to and
playing with great
recordings. Most of the
etudes in this book are
based on styles from
specific orchestral
literature, jazz
standards and other
styles such as New
Orleans’ funk
music (Meters) or the
music of James Brown and
Tower of Power.How these
etudes were conceived,
composed and transcribed:
The style or concept of
the etude was thought out
in my head and ear. I
then improvised in that
style and concept on my
trombone, recording my
efforts until I was
satisfied with the etude.
All along, my goal was to
play the range of the
instrument while
emphasizing certain
articulations, rhythms,
range and, fundamentally,
the intended style of the
etude. The resulting
etude was then
transcribed by a terrific
graduate student named
Zach Bornheimer, who also
works with many other
classical and jazz
composers as a
copyist/arranger.Tips for
working on the etudes:
Seek out professional
recordings that match the
style of each etude to
get a good idea of what
the etude should sound
like musically. My
recording of each of
these etudes is available
for download and can be
purchased online for a
modest fee. Search for
“Brantley
Etudes†at either
iTunes or CDBaby.
Practice each etude very
slowly and in segments as
needed, using a
metronome. Record
yourself and listen for
good technique,
musicianship and
authenticity of style
with your sound, feel and
articulations. Compare
your own efforts to the
sounds you’ve
heard on recordings.
Would you fit in that
ensemble or band? If
range is an issue, take
certain notes or passages
down or up an octave.
Work on your fundamentals
every day, including the
techniques and skills
needed for these etudes.
Be patient! Small
improvements every day
result in big success
over time. Always play
with a wide dynamic
range. Always play with
line and direction.
Always play with
impeccable time as well
as rhythm. Use a
metronome to help with
this. Always play in
tune. You can work on
this with a tuner as well
as with drones. Play
these for teachers,
friends, peers and
colleagues not only for
their feedback but also
for the experience of
informal performance. An
audience changes
everything. Make music,
listen to music, record
yourself, play in public
and have fun!One final
note: some of these are
hard. On purpose. These
are not warm-ups that you
can play through
mindlessly to get your
face going. These are
“study
pieces†in the
old-fashioned sense. They
are designed to challenge
you as a player, to make
you a little
uncomfortable. Some are
tougher than others, of
course, but none of them
are easy. If you can play
through each of these
well, with great
musicianship and
impeccable technique, you
will be an incredibly
versatile instrumentalist
and be able to secure
performance opportunities
that are outside the
comfort zone of many
trombonists.Thanks for
buying this book. I hope
you enjoy working through
these, whether
you’re a teacher,
student, performer, or
weekend warrior. I
learned a lot by putting
these together and I hope
you find them useful and
helpful.Best
wishes,—Tom
Brantley.

A Musical for
Young Voices - The Story
of the Tower of Babel
Leading to Pentecost In
Genesis 11 and Acts 2 we
read about two events
where languages helped
fulfill God's purpose.
When the people of Babel
built the tower, they
were led by the human
spirit and ended up in
confusion, scattered over
the earth, speaking
different languages. At
Pentecost, people from
many nations, speaking
different languages, were
led by the Holy Spirit;
and even in their
diversity, they were
united. This 35-minute
musical for young voices
(Unison w/opt. Two-Part)
links together these Old
Testament and New
Testament stories with
songs, humor and heart.
The message is, if we
follow the Great
Commandments - ?loving
God and loving our
neighbors, no matter how
different from us they
are or what language they
speak - we will surely be
filled with the Holy
Spirit. A score with
piano accompaniment and a
singers edition without
the piano part are both
included for the one
price. You may make as
many copies as you
require for use by your
choir. Separate audio
MP3s and instrumental
parts are available, and
there is a video of the
debut performance on the
Hope YouTube channel.

The Tower
and the Garden is a
setting of three poems
for choir and string
quartet. The texts
juxtapose the dangers of
technological hubris (the
tower) and the need for a
place of refuge (the
garden) in a world
threatened by war and
ecological disaster. Each
text suggest ways in
which Catholic thought
and imagery might
challenge the status quo.
The first text, poem 80
from the collection
“Cables to the
Ace,†was written
by Trappist monk and
social activist Thomas
Merton. It is an
eschatological meditation
on the garden of
Gethsemane, where
Christ's disciples slept
on the eve of his
crucifixion. Merton
compares their slumber to
societyÂ’s
indifference to the
destruction of our
natural world by
potentially dangerous new
technologies and war. The
second text was written
by poet and Catholic
activist Denise Levertov.
It is a meditation on the
Tower of Babel and the
tendencyfor technology in
the information and
nuclear age to serve only
its own growth and to
potentially destroy our
lives in the bargain. The
third poem, written by
Keith Garebian, is an
homage to queer filmmaker
Derek Jarman and his
cottage garden at
Dungeness on the English
coast. Situated
precariously between a
towering nuclear power
plant and the sea, the
garden was JarmanÂ’s
austere refuge during the
final months of his
struggle with AIDS. While
an atheist and highly
critical of the church,
Derek Jarman was
intrigued bythe role
religious and
hagiographic narratives
could play in his filmic
indictments of
Thatcher-era Britain.
This is most notable
inhis film The Garden,
which was shot on
location in Dungeness.

The Tower was
commisioned by the
concert band of Auneau
(France), for their 190th
anniversary. The composer
was inspired by a
medieval tower standing
in the city and decided
to transcribe in music
the life in the middle
ages, the gregorian chant
of the monks, a village
festival, the building of
the tower, step by step,
and then the evocation of
the battle of Auneau, one
of the famous religious
battles of the middle
ages in France. The work
ends with the regained
calm, and the monks
singing their gregorian
chant at the end of the
day.
The Tower
werd geschreven in
opdracht van het harmonie
orkest van Auneau
(Frankrijk), voor hun
190-jarig bestaan. De
componist werd
geïnspireerd door een
middeleeuwse toren die in
de stad staat en besloot
het leven in de
middeleeuwen, het
gregoriaans van de
monniken, een dorpsfeest,
de bouw van de toren,
stap voor stap in muziek
om te zetten, en dan de
evocatie van de slag bij
Auneau, een van de
beroemde religieuze
veldslagen uit de
middeleeuwen in
Frankrijk. Het werk
eindigt met de hervonden
rust en de monniken die
aan het eind van de dag
hun gregoriaanse gezang
zingen.
The Tower wurde von der
Konzertkapelle von Auneau
(Frankreich) für ihr

Jubiläum in Auftrag
gegeben. Der Komponist
lieà sich von einem
mittelalterlichen Turm in
der Stadt inspirieren und
beschloss, das Leben im
Mittelalter, den
gregorianischen Gesang
der Mönche, ein
Dorffest, den Bau des
Turms und schlieÃlich
die Schlacht von Auneau,
eine der berühmtesten
religiösen Schlachten
des Mittelalters in
Frankreich, in Musik zu
übertragen. Das Werk
endet mit der
wiedergewonnenen Ruhe und
dem Singen des
gregorianischen Gesangs
der Mönche am Ende des
Tages.
