Equali were works written for equal, or similar, instruments; in the eighteenth century they were almost always used for funeral services and usually employed a quartet of trombones. The most famous of these were the three Beethoven wrote for the Linz Cathedral in Austria on All Soul's Day 1812. Two of these were adapted later for male voices and were sung at Beethoven's funeral.

These pieces are some of the most famous works for trombones, no doubt due to the fact that they were composed by Beethoven. They were commissioned by Franz Xaver Gloggl, Kappelmeister of the city of Linz, while Beethoven was visiting his brother. According to later accounts by Gloggl's son, although his father had a complete collection of trombones (soprano, alto, tenor, bass or quart) the three Equali were performed by a traditional quartet of alto, tenor and bass trombones.

This edition offers a compromise: the original score and parts are given exactly as written in the complete works, and a version designed for the less experienced players: the three movements are transposed down one step, edited with minor musical suggestions, and all four parts are written in bass clef.

Dr. Mathie has done the Trombone world a great service in bringing this great work in its two forms to publication.

The Concerto Grosso for Three Trombones and Orchestra by Lyndol Mitchell was composed in 1961 as part of his Doctoral dissertation at the Eastman School of Music and was first performed in 1963 at a memorial concert for the composer after his untimely death. The performers were six students of Emory Remington, including Ralph Sauer and Don King.

The work is is subtitled in stile Barocco and is in three movements.

Movement I begins with an somber introductory Adagio followed by an Allegro in the style of a Bach Fugue led by the three soloists.

Movement II is a slow and serious Larghetto in C minor.

Movement III is a Presto in D minor in a Toccata style and is full of many mixed meter bars that add little little rhythmic surprises along the way.

The 13-minute work is appropriate for advanced performers.

The hand copied score and parts Concerto Grosso were rediscovered in the Sibley Library at the Eastman School of Music by Jeremy Kempton who then engraved and proofed them. He performed the work in 2011 with colleagues for the first time since its premier in 1963.

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.
