[Trombone-l] Name that tune

[Walter Barrett]

The notation reminds me of one of the tunes from the original Eastman  
Trombone Choir recording from 1971(?). Might be the Manny Albam piece,  
Geological Survey.

"If it please your neighbor to break the sacred calm of night with the  
snorting of an unholy trombone, it is your duty to put up with his  
wretched music and your privilege to pity him for the unhappy instinct  
that moves him to delight in such discordant sounds."
