[Trombone-l] Church Music for Trbn Quartet

[Thomas Ervin]

Bob Elkjer:

I think there is almost a glut of Christmas arrangements -- carols both 
secular and sacred.
Any good bone quartet could find SCADS of stuff if they got hired for a 
church job, or for a (secular nonreligious)  mall job too.

Might be smarter to focus on the Easter titles: Easter Hymn, Ellacombe, 
elc.  I see a lack there.
And not just a reharmonized verse, but a Real Piece big enough for an 
offertory, or Prelude or Postlude

If I was gonna do it (I'm not), I'd get copies of the various church 
hymnals and see which titles are most common to various  denominations.
I *think* I'd stick to the old standards myself, and not chase the 
newer hymns that are continually coming out in the "newer" church 
music.
Others might feel differently about that, and no offense intended.

Keep us posted. Great idea. Thanks for all your good writing for us.
