[Trombone-l] Favorite quartets

[Raymond Horton]

Please allow me to blow my own horn:

Episodes - for Trombone Quartet

Two movements: “I - Annunciation” - Bright!

“II - “Reflection; Confrontation” - A quiet beginning to a stormy ending in
three intense minutes.

All four parts are interesting; Trombone 1 is a blow! Challenging!

Recorded by the Elysian Trombone Consort - soon to be released

Trombone Quartets:

J. Bennet: “Two Madrigals” One slow, one fast.   Slow one is easy and
beautiful.

William Byrd / Horton: "The Carman's Whistle"   Same as the trio, but less
difficult, fuller-sounding.

William Byrd / Horton: "Look Down, 0 Lord"   Playable by high school
students, great for church.

Di Lasso / Horton: "Carmina Chromatico”   Incredible study in modulation -
slow and dramatic!

Traditional French / Horton: "Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silent"   Beautiful
tune, beautiful treatment.

Trombone profs from a national workshop audience called Cimarron for this
before it was available - really!

Recorded by the Elysian Trombone Consort on a soon to be released solo CD by
Timothy Anderson

-------

Euphonium/Tuba Quartet, Trombone Quartet, or Three Trombones and Tuba:

William Byrd / Horton: “Five Pieces from The Battel” (published by Cimarron
as a Trombone Quartet only)

Byrd at his finest. Euphs and tubas can use suggested embellishments to make
this a tour de force.

General question for the group...

What are your favorite trombone quartets?

I was talking with our favorite list leader a while back and mentioned one
of my favorites, "Achieved is the Glorious Work" and he had never heard of
it!  It has been a staple in my trombone playing life since the 70's.

What are your favorites?  And if you can articulate why, please do so.  I'm
thinking of going on a buying spree and getting some new ones.

Thanks,

Ralph
