Bass trombone unaccompanied - advanced

SKU: CY.CC2912

Composed by Phil Brink. Contemporary. Booklet. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2912).

Phil Brink's new work for unaccompanied Bass Trombone is in three contrasting movements:
1. Harmonies - subtitled The Trombone Strikes Bach is pensive in mood and in the style of an Unaccompanied Prelude by Bach.

2. Balooze - subtitled A Sort of Soliloquoy is in a swung blues-style including a free cadenza-like introduction. It also includes a foot tapping accompaniment and multiphonics, reminiscent of Bernstein's Mippy II.

3. Rhythmus - Movement At High Speed, the finale is in a Presto tempo with lots of technical wizardry for the performer.
This very fine work of about 7-minutes in length is appropriate for advanced performers.
The live sample sound track featuring a portion of each movement is performed on the Bass Trom
bone by the composer himself, Phil Brink.

Unaccompanied Tenor Trombone - advanced

SKU: CY.CC2515

Composed by Claude Debussy. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. French Impressionist. Booklet. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2515).

Debussy composed this breathtaking unaccompanied work in 1913, and it became the first solo work for the Bohm flute and the first solo work by a major composer since C.P.E. Bach almost 150 years earlier!

The music allows wide latitude for interpretation and can really show off the musical imagination of the performer.

The great French flautist Marcel Moyse is credited with adding phrasing and barlines to his friend Debussy's new work.

In classical mythology, Syrinx was a nymph and a follower of Artemis, known for her chastity. Pursued by the amorous Greekgod Pan, she ran to a river's edge and asked for assistance from the river nymphs. In answer, she was transformed into hollow water reeds that made a haunting sound when the god's frustrated breath blew across them. Pan cut the reeds to fashion the first set of pan pipes, which were thereafter known as syrinx.

This work of 2 1/2 minutes for advanced performers can add a new dimension to your recital, as it is often performed offstage.

The sample performance was recorded by Ralph Sauer in May 2012.

Exegesis is an unaccompanied solo for Bass Trombone written by American composer and Bass Trombonist Philip Brink in 1973. The work of about 4 minutes in length is appropriate for very advanced performers and requires the use of multi-phonics and other technical challenges.
Below is a brief instruction to the performer from the composer.
The rhythmic notation of Exegesis is fairly free; sections in traditional notation should approximate those rhythmic patterns, while arbitrarily long notes, rests or patterns should be as long as possible. The score hints at but does not make explicit any particular dramatic action or effect, which it is left to the performer to create or not. Most of the instructions are on the score and fairly easy to follow. The Beams that crescendo and diminuendo relate to acceleration or deceleration as indicated. There are odd little notes, like secretive in the first line - in these instances do whatever comes to mind as giving an impression of secrecy - change in volume, tone, or whatever - even a hand gesture!
The composer gives detailed instructions in the score for the listener and the performer, helping with the interpretation and appreciation of this work.
