French composer Pierre Max Dubois (1930-1995) significantly contributed to the wind repertoire. Procession for Trombone and Piano was published in 1959 and remains prominent in the advanced trombonist's repertoire. Dubois' music is characteristically light-hearted with unusual harmonic and melodic textures. Procession for Trombone and Piano reflects Dubois' compositional characteristics as well as elements of grandeur reflecting the title. A typical performance lasts about four minutes and fifteen seconds. Procession is essential to the advanced trombonist'srepertoire. Dubois' work makes for an exciting and enjoyable performance for players and audiences alike.

The Romance for Trombone and Piano was given its premiere at the Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen in 1916 in an Orchestral version and with Axel Jørgensen's friend Anton Hansen as soloist. This fully tonal Scandinavian work of charm intelligence and lyricism was well received though the Orchestral parts were destroyed in the bombings of the Second World War. Jørgensen produced this Trombone and Piano version a few years after the premiere and it continues to enjoy performances and recordings today.

This work was commissioned by Professor James Watson for the brass faculty of the Royal Academy of Music London. It was composed between January and May 2007. The first performance was given on 12 June 2008 by Blair Sinclair (to whom the work is dedicated) and Timothy End. It is the third in a series of six works for brass which began with sonatas for Bass Tuba and Piano (2006) and Bass Trombone and Piano (2006) and will conclude with two more sonatas (French Horn Trumpet/Flugel Horn) and a work for brass ensemble. All five sonatas will be published by Queen's Temple Publications during 2009.

Bozza (1905-1991) was a brilliant student at the Paris Conservatoire winning prizes for the Violin conducting and composing as well as the Grand Prix de Rome. He predominantly composed chamber music for wind but his solo works for the instruments are also held in high esteem such as his Ballade for Trombone and Piano. This Bozza piece was originally composed for conservatoire students displaying the technical skills as well as musicality of the soloist. There is no formal structure to Ballade however the many changes in tempo provide variety throughout. With no distinct musical theme unifying the music it is interesting to note that much of the material of Bozza's Ballade is extracted from orchestral excerpts. Ballade is an ideal performance piece for advanced trombonists.

Les bonnes raisons ne manquaient pas pour m'encourager à composer un concerto pour trombone basse et Orchestre d'Harmonie. Cette composition concrétise, en premier lieu, l'amitié fraternelle qui me lie au tromboniste basse Ben van Dijk depuis trente-cinq ans, et coïncide avec mes trente ans de carrière de musicien professionnel (1er mai 2007). D'autre part, j'ai souhaité apporter ma contribution au répertoire solo pour trombone basse, bien pauvre en oeuvres lyriques qui exploitent pleinement les capacités mélodiques et musicales de l'instrument. Enfin, ce concerto est un hommage à Piet van Dijk (1920-2003), le père de Ben, qui fut un musicien dans l'âme et un être extraordinaire. En tant que professeur de trombone et d'euphonium, il a joué un rôle essentiel dans ma carrière future de musicien et je lui en serai toujours reconnaissant. Un festival ambitieux autour du trombone offrait le cadre idéal pour la création de mon oeuvre : le festival Slide Factory 2007 organisé à Rotterdam par les membres du New Trombone Collective, ambassadeurs idéaux pour la littérature contemporaine pour le trombone. La création de Canticles (Cantiques) fut une expérience enthousiasmante, enrichie par l'étroite collaboration avec Ben van Dijk. D'ailleurs, je tiens à le remercier chaleureusement pour ses excellentes suggestions, son savoir-faire et sa passion. Je suis convaincu que cette pièce trouvera sa place dans les salles de concert ! Canticles est une oeuvre de commande pour le Fonds des Compositeurs néerlandais 'Fonds voor de Scheppende Toonkunst? (Fonds pour la création musicale) à la demande du New Trombone Collective. La première mondiale a eu lieu le 6 mai 2007 à l'église St. Laurens à Rotterdam dans le cadre du festival Slide Factory 2007. Ben van Dijk, trombone basse, était accompagné par la Musique Militaire Royale Navale des Pays-Bas placée sous la direction d'Ivan Meylemans. ' / Johan de Meij, Amsterdam, mai 2007. La réduction pour Trombone basse et Piano a été réalisée par le compositeur lui-même. / Trombone Et Piano / 36 pages / niveau : Moyenne Force / Partition

Concerto In F Minor by G.F. Handel is a piece transcribed for Trombone and Piano by André Lafosse soloist at the Paris Opera.

It is divided into four sections: I. Grave II. Allegro III. Sarabande – Largo IV. Allegro The Piano introduces first and the third parts which are quite slow compared to the second one and the final. G.F. Handel was a German composer famous for his operas oratorios and concertos.

Morceau De Lecture For Trombone And Piano-Alexandre Guilmant was one of the greatest representatives of the French Romantic organ school and composed almost exclusively for his instrument.A rare exception is this “Morceau symphonique” written in1902 for the Paris Conservatoire’s annual trombone class competition. The charming piece soon found its way into the repertoire – as did Saint-Saëns’s “Cavatine” (HN 1119) – and is todayamong the essential standard works of trombone literature.The “Morceau symphonique” is here offered in its first-ever Urtext edition based on the autograph and the first edition. We also offer here aparticularly special treat – the sight-reading piece that Guilmant wrote for the same competition which had until now slumbered in the archives and is here published for the very first time.
