Concerto in Bb for Alto Trombone

SKU: CY.CC2952

ISBN 9790530057711.

Ron Babcock has composed and edited 50 amazing duets in alto clef for Trombones. These duets can be performed on Tenor or Alto Trombones and are a great way to ease into alto clef being that they are progressive. The goal of this book is to provide an enjoyable vehicle for learning and practicing in a new clef. Some of the duets are original compositions by Babcock and some are arrangements of Baroque and Classical composers.
Duets 1-30 are all one-page or less in length and duets 31-50 are all two pages in length. As the book progresses, there are more difficult key and time signatures, more challenging technique and in the later duets some cadenzas.
There is a wide variety of styles and forms throughout the book. The final six duets are arrangements of concertos and sonatas originally written for the Alto Trombone (the top part containing the original part), including works by Albrechtsberger, Fux, Wagenseil and Michael Haydn.

Reinhold Gliere's Concerto for Coloratura Soprano and Orchestra, Op. 82 was written in 1942-1943 and shows off the composer's gentle melodic musical style reminiscent of Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninov and even Wagner. The choice of a vocal soloist singing without words was not new at that time, as Rachmaninov's beautiful Vocalise had already been composed. But....adding a full orchestra to the mix was a gamble that paid off, as this is one of Gliere's finest works. The Concerto consists of two movements -- Andante and Allegro and is about 14 minutes in length. The 1st movement's rich melodies are full of lush harmonic textures and the work drives from climax to climax. The finale Allegro is lighthearted and bounces along merrily to the end. Gordon Cherry's arrangement for Alto Trombone with Piano accompaniment reduction brings a major new work to the Alto Trombone repertoire. This work can also be performed on the Tenor Trombone, however, the style of the work makes it perfect for the Alto Trombone. Appropriate for advanced performers. (Under license from G.
