[Trombone-l] Liszt Hosannah

[George Butler]

I apologize if this has been sent twice, or thrice, or quarice:
   
  Hi Marius,
   
  There is a fine 1991 recording of Liszt's Hosannah (from Cantico del sol) for Trombone and Organ, S 677, by Christian Lindberg and organist Gunnar Idenstam on BIS, catalog #488.  Other pieces on the CD include:
   
  Liszt:  Cujus animam, S 679, from Rossini's Stabat Mater (Rome, 1860-1870);
  Gardner Read (USA) Invocation, op. 135 (20th c.) and De profundis, op. 71(1946);
  Anders Hillborg (Sweden):  U-Tangia-Na (1991)
  Petr Eben (Czech Republic):  Two Invocations (1988);
  Alfred Schnittke (Russia):  Schall und Hall (20th c.)
  Jan Sandstrom (Sweden):  Lacrimae, lacrimae ["Tears, tears"] (1991)
   
  Liszt wrote his "Palm Sunday piece" for bass trombone, but it works on large tenor as well. If I remember correctly, the trombone part ranges from pedal B-flat, with some F-attachment D's and C's, up to high G.  The organ part is flashy, but playable.  The trombone part requires a lot of air, so don't get too dizzy!  The opening chorale is based upon a German chorale, so find the words and translate them, and add the appropriate articulations.  (I've got them somewhere.)  
   
  Everybody has a gig on Easter Sunday, but there's no reason to be sitting at home on Palm Sunday, what with this fun piece.  Add the Liszt/Rossini "Cujus animam" and the Holst, and you've got yourself a nice romantic program.
