This magnificent transcription of Gabrieli's 12 part vocal work by Dr. David Mathie is 4 minutes in length. As with many of Gabrieli's works, the Gloria is antiphonal and written for a 3 choir ensemble with 4 parts in each choir. The parts are for 6 Trumpets in Bb and 6 Trombones, plus 6 alternate substitute Horn parts. The work is of intermediate difficulty and is very sonorous and lyrical sounding. A wonderful addition to a Brass ensemble concert or church service.
The Three Preludes, originally published for Piano in 1926, have been transcribed by Ralph Sauer in this first ever edition for Trombone & Piano. About 6 minutes in length, the Preludes are "jazzy", "bluesy" and a lot of fun to play, plus, very entertaining for audiences. This transcription, in bass & tenor clefs is suitable for advanced performers with a range from a low E to one high D. Prelude No. 1 has a bluesy motif with a strong jazz feel. Prelude No. 2, "Blue Melody", is a sad song also with a blues feel using lots of sevenths and a major/minor duality. Prelude No. 3, "Spanish Prelude" features lots of syncopations and a battle between major & minor with the major winning out in the end. This work will make a fantastic conclusion to your recital.
Carlo Gesualdo, who lived in the late Renaissance period is compared to Richard Wagner because of his shifting harmonies. His music was considered "progressive" and even today we are taken aback by the violent shifts in tonality. An additional bit of information about the composer is that he murdered his wife and her lover after discovering them together. The Three Motets for Five Trombones come from a series of sacred works from 1603 titled, Sacrarum Cantionum Liber Primus. The setting works beautifully for Trombone Choir. Dr. Bradley Palmer has done a beautiful job of transcribing and editing these works. Edited for advanced performers, the range of these works is up to high C for the 1st part and pedal B-flat for the Bass Trombone. The Columbus State University Trombone Choir under the direction of Dr. Bradley Palmer performs Gesualdo's Ave Dulcissima Maria on their November 2009 concert. This transcription of Gesualdo's 5-part motet by Dr. Palmer is being published through Cherry Classics publications along with Palmer's transcriptions of two of Gesualdo's other scared works. Performed at the Schwob School of Music, Columbus State University, Columbus, GA.http://music.colstate.edu/trombone
Gigout's wonderful "Grand Choeur" originally for Brass & Organ has been beautifully scored for 8 Trombones in 2 antiphonal choirs. The work is brilliant technically, majestic in breadth and sound, with rich harmonies. Both choirs battle for dominance with all "winning" at the Grand Finale. Scored for 6 Tenors and 2 Basses, the difficulty level is for very advanced ensembles. Tenor & Bass clefs are used and the highest notes are Db for the 1st part and pedal Ab for the Bass part. This work is a great "overture" to begin a program.
Gottschalk was one of America's first important composers. His numerous works for piano are mostly light. His Marche des Gibaros from the Souvenir de Porto Rico transcribed by Karl Hinterbichler is lively and bright. American born Louis Moreau Gottschalk (1829-1869) was one of the great pianist/composers of his day. He began his career in Europe but spent most of his life touring from coast to coast in the US, as well as South America, and the Caribbean. He composed more than 100 works which combine the typical European Romantic virtuoso style with musical traditions from South America, the Carribean, Spain and sacred and popular songs from the United States. Originally for solo piano, Souvenir de Porto Rico (op. 31), bears the subtitle Marche des Gibaros, a reference to the peasants of the island. The simple melody derives from a Puerto Rican song 'Si me dan pasteles, les dénmelos calientes,' 'If you give me cakes, give them to me hot,' sung by strolling musicians during the Puerto Rican Christmas season. This simple melody is then subjected to a series of variations. The music depicts the sound of strolling musicians, first heard in the distance, coming ever closer, rising to a climax and then fading as the Gibaros march away into the distance. The syncopated rhythms strongly suggest its Caribbean origins. Instrumentation is for 2 Trumpets in Bb (Trumpet 1 doubles on Piccolo), Horn, Trombone and Tuba.
This arrangement of about 2 minutes in length, for Brass Quintet with optional timpani is for advanced performers. The 1st B-flat Trumpet part can be performed on Piccolo Trumpet or E-flat trumpet.
One of the most famous movements from "The Messiah", features the Bb Trumpet and Tuba, Trombone or Euphonium on the solo parts. The bass part goes up to a high "C" above the staff several times, so the tuba must have a good high register. The trombone and tuba solo parts can be switched and the trombonist from the quintet can play the solo bass part on tenor trombone, bass trombone or euphonium. The tuba can then move to the trombone part, which is a low part anyway. This work is in the key of Bb, down a 3rd from the original and very playable.This transcription comes in two keys; the original in D (high) or in Bb (lower). In the lower key it can be played on Bb trumpet and is much easier on the solo bass part if played by the tubist. If played in the original key, an optional organ part can be added to the quintet for a very symphonic effect. This work is a must on a Brass Quintet Christmas

The Sonatina for Trombone & Piano was originally published after its composition, but soon became lost. It has recently been brought back into the repertoire. Cherry Classics Music is proud to be bringing this very fine work back to life. The style of this 3 movement work is similar to the well known Sonatina for Trombone and Piano by Serocki. Miroslav Krejci was born on the 4th of November, 1891 in Rychnov nad Kn??nou (a small town situated in the eastern part of Bohemia of the Czech Republic). There, he also attended high school. After graduation he travelled to Prague, studying natural science, geography and musicology at Charles University. At the Conservatory he studied composition under Vitezslav Novak. Krejci also became a teacher at a few grammar schools in the Czech republic. He died on the 29th of December 1964 in Prague.
Miroslav Krejci created music for many various ensembles and his compositions are among the most prolific of Czech composers. For example, he composed the following: two Operas: The Summer and The Last Hetman, two Symphonies, string quartets, sonatas for violins, trios for wind instruments, sonatinas for brasswind instruments and piano and five piano cycles. He wrote many vocal compositions, especially for chorus. Krejci also created many arrangements of folk songs for chorus and for solo voice with piano accompaniment.
The Sonatina for Trombone and Piano was composed in 1948. It was first performed on the occasion of the composer's birthday.
Lalo was born in Lille (Nord), in northernmost France. He attended that city's music conservatory in his youth. Then, beginning at age 16, Lalo studied at the Paris Conservatoire under Berlioz's old enemy François Antoine Habeneck. For several years, he worked as a string player and teacher in Paris. In 1848, he joined with friends to found the Armingaud Quartet, playing viola and second violin. Lalo's earliest surviving compositions are songs and chamber works. He dedicated most of his career to the composition of chamber music, which was in vogue, and to writing works for orchestra. These two works beautifully arranged by Mr. Sauder show the core of Lalo's chamber music; personal, subtle at times and filled with a French lyricism. For advanced performers.
