Subject: Re: [Trombone-l] Symphonic Brass Recommendations

 

One of the best pieces in the repertoire is Tomasi's Liturgical Fanfares.
There are at least 4 movements, and I think the piece can be performed
effectively without doing all of them. it might be 4 trombones and 4
trumpets, and the first horn part (actually all the horn parts if I
remember) needs a player with VERY strong high chops. But wow what a piece. 

 

There's a Gunther Schuller Symphony for Brass I think.

 

Another favorite of mine is Einojuhani Rautavaara's A Requiem in (for?) Our
Time. He's the grand old man of Finnish music now; this piece was writen in
the 50s. It's dramatic and accessible, yet still quite modern. 

 

Have fun!

Gabe

Subject: [Trombone-l] Symphonic Brass Recommendations

 

This list always seems to come through with the best suggestions for

literature.  The director of our community orchestra is trying a different

theme for one of our subscription concerts this year - pieces that feature

different sections of the orchestra.  He has actually asked for suggestions

from the brass section for this concert.  Does anyone have a favorite 5-7

minute piece scored for symphonic brass (4 horns, 2-3 trumpets, 3 trombones,

and tuba) they would like to recommend.  Difficulty is probably not an issue

for the group.  Of course the greatest consideration should be that there

are good parts for the trombone section!!  Original compositions for brass

rather than transcriptions would be preferred, I think.  

 

Thanks,

Bob Woodard
