Rolling Thunder is a popular screamer march composed in 1916 to show off the technical wizardry of the Trombone section. Christian Birkness has brilliantly arranged Henry Fillmore's legendary work for Tuba Quartet with several famous orchestral excerpts humorously hidden in the texture. This arrangement is both technically impressive and highly comedic. It is great for recitals and is sure to be enjoyed, especially by brass players.
This 4-minute work is appropriate for advanced performers.
