Description
SKU: A0.1107067
Composed by Franz Xaver Gruber. Arranged by Steve Ash. Christmas,Holiday,Jazz,Religious,Traditional. 10 pages. Aaron Hettinga #709874. Published by Aaron Hettinga (A0.1107067).This enduring favorite Christmas carol from Franz Gruber is presented here in an arrangement for trombone ensemble. In this creative treatment, Steve Ash explores some interesting jazz-inspired harmony and dissonances against this familiar melody without disrespecting it at any point, which leaves us with a satisfying holiday jazz chorale for trombones. While the melody and moving accompaniment patterns get passed throughout the ensemble, this piece as written is a showcase for a solid, melodic lead trombonist who is comfortable in the high register. Since this arrangement touches on a high D flat, a substitute part is included for Bb Trumpet or Flugelhorn to either augment or substitute the lead trombone part. Other than the higher range of the top voices and a few characteristic lower notes for the bass trombonist, there aren’t many other technical challenges making this an accessible chart for ensembles with a broad range of skill levels and a fine exercise in ensemble blend and balance. This tender arrangement of “Silent Night” would be well-suited to include a jazz chorale on a trombone ensemble’s Christmas/Holiday/Advent program.
