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

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

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

you a little
uncomfortable. Some are
tougher than others, of
course, but none of them

Commission
ed by the San Francisco

Children’s Choir,
Terra Nostra is a
70-minute oratorio on the
relationship between our
planet and humankind, how
this relationship has
shifted over time, and
how we can re-establish a
harmonious balance. Part
I: Creation of the World
explores various creation
myths from different
cultures, culminating in
a joyous celebration of
the beauty of our planet.
Part II: The Rise of
Humanity examines human
achievements,
particularly since the
dawn of our Industrial
Age, and how these
achievements have
impacted the planet. Part
III: Searching for
Balance questions how to
create more awareness for
our planet’s
plight, re-establish a
deeper connection to it,
and find a balance for
living within our
planet’s
resources. In addition to
the complete oratorio,
stand-alone movements for
mixed chorus, and for
solo voice with piano,
are also available
separately. Terra
Nostra focuses on the
relationship between our
planet and mankind, how
this relationship has
shifted over time, and
how we can re-establish a
harmonious balance. The
oratorio is divided into
three parts:Part I:
Creation of the World
celebrates the birth and
beauty of our planet. The
oratorio begins with
creation myths from
India, North America, and
Egypt that are integrated
into the opening lines of
Genesis from the Old
Testament. The music
surges forth from these
creation stories into
“God’s
World†by Edna St.
Vincent Millay, which
describes the world in
exuberant and vivid
detail. Percy Bysshe
Shelley’s
“On thine own
child†praises
Mother Earth for her role
bringing forth all life,
while Walt Whitman sings
a love song to the planet
in “Smile O
voluptuous cool-breathed
earth!†Part I ends
with “A Blade of
Grass†in which
Whitman muses how our
planet has been spinning
in the heavens for a very
long time.Part II: The
Rise of Humanity examines
the achievements of
mankind, particularly
since the dawn of the
Industrial Age. Lord
Alfred Tennyson’s
“Locksley
Hall†sets an
auspicious tone that
mankind is on the verge
of great discoveries.
This is followed in short
order by Charles
Mackay’s
“Railways
1846,†William
Ernest Henley’s
“A Song of
Speed,†and John
Gillespie Magee,
Jr.’s “High
Flight,†each of
which celebrates a new
milestone in
technological
achievement. In
“Binsey
Poplars,†Gerard
Manley Hopkins takes note
of the effect that these
advances are having on
the planet, with trees
being brought down and
landscapes forever
changed. Percy Bysshe
Shelley’s “A
Dirge†concludes
Part II with a warning
that the planet is
beginning to sound a
grave alarm.Part III:
Searching for Balance
questions how we can
create more awareness for
our planet’s
plight, re-establish a
deeper connection to it,
and find a balance for
living within our
planet’s
resources. Three texts
continue the
earth’s plea that
ended the previous
section: Lord
Byron’s
“Darknessâ€
speaks of a natural
disaster (a volcano) that
has blotted out the sun
from humanity and the
panic that ensues;
contemporary poet Esther
Iverem’s
“Earth
Screaming†gives
voice to the modern
issues of our changing
climate; and William
Wordsworth’s
“The World Is Too
Much With Us†warns
us that we are almost out
of time to change our
course.
Contemporary/agrarian
poet Wendell
Berry’s “The
Want of Peaceâ€
speaks to us at the
climax of the oratorio,
reminding us that we can
find harmony with the
planet if we choose to
live more simply, and to
recall that we ourselves
came from the earth. Two
Walt Whitman texts
(“A Child said,
What is the grass?â€
and “There was a
child went forth every
dayâ€) echo
Berry’s thoughts,
reminding us that we are
of the earth, as is
everything that we see on
our planet. The oratorio
concludes with a reprise
of Whitman’s
“A Blade of
Grass†from Part I,
this time interspersed
with an additional
Whitman text that
sublimely states,
“I bequeath myself
to the dirt to grow from
the grass I
love…â€My hope
in writing this oratorio
is to invite audience
members to consider how
we interact with our
planet, and what we can
each personally do to
keep the planet going for
future generations. We
are the only stewards
Earth has; what can we
each do to leave her in
better shape than we
found her?
