Jose Berghmans: Jose Berghmans: La Chenille: Trumpet: Score

French composer and musicologist José Berghmans (1921-1992) studied at the Brussels Conservatory and at the Paris Conservatoire under Olivier Messiaen. His La Femme A Barbe remains popular within the Trombone repertoire. Berghmans was a significant composer of film music and therefore much of his music was dramatic and expressive. La Femme A Barbe comes from Berghmans' Fairground Tables. La Femme A Barbe is dramatic and expressive containing much variation in articulation rhythm range tonality and performancedirections amongst other aspects. For all intermediate to advanced trombonists Berghmans' La Femme A Barbe provides an exciting addition to the repertoire.
