Horn plays in tune, moves easily between partials, etc? Understand, this is a $300 horn that you can buy at Walmart (not where I recommend getting trombones ;-). Wondering about durability and if anyone has had students on these and what your thoughts are? From JHauser at tntech.edu Sat Sep 9 17:19:51 2017 From: JHauser at tntech.edu (Hauser, Joshua) Date: Sat, 9 Sep 2017 22:19:51 +0000 Subject: [Trombone-l] Recital at Tennessee Tech, Thursday, September 14, 2017 Message-ID: TTU Professor of Trombone, Joshua Hauser will present a recital of French works for trombone and piano this Thursday, September 14 at 7:30pm in Wattenbarger Auditorium of the Bryan Fine Arts Building. He will be accompanied by Paul Thurmond on Piano. The Conservatoire National Sup?rieur de Musique de Paris represents a wealth of repertoire for trombone players. One of the signature features of the Paris Conservatory was their annual solo contest for each instrument with a first prize being among the highest honors a student could achieve. Trombones began participating in this in 1842, with each student playing the same solo. New repertoire was determined each year from preexisting works, with newly commissioned works for trombone beginning in 1897. The evening will begin with the Cavatine by Camille Saint-Sa?ns, the 1922 contest piece. We follow that with organist Alexandre Guilmant?s Morceau Symphonique, one of the most frequently performed works for trombone. It was selected as the contest piece in 1902, 1928, and 1975. Hauser will also perform Paul Veronge de la Nux? Solo de Concours, which was used as the contest piece in both 1900 and 1919 and is used at TTU as a required solo piece for all trombone majors before they can begin upper level studies. In addition to these contest pieces for tenor trombone, Hauser has chosen to adapt Saint-Sa?ns? Morceau de Concert, a selection for the horn contest in 1935, for the alto trombone. The concert will finish with Sp?cial, a solo by Pierre Gabaye that combines both technical virtuosity and lush ballad playing. It has become tradition for players to either improvise or compose their own cadenza midway through the piece. Don't be surprised if you hear some things that you recognize here in a humorous homage to other trombone repertoire and popular music. For those who can?t join us in person, the concert will be live streamed at https://www.tntech.edu/fine-arts/music/live ______________________________________________ Joshua Hauser Professor of Trombone School of Music Box 5045 1150 N.

In fact, I sat in w/ an eclectic brass band yesterday and used my P-Bone (which is painted to match my favorite college sports team - for those in the South, you know it?s that time of year). Had a great time. My question is not about the merits (or de-merits) of plastic trombones as that horse has been ?beat to death? multiple times. My question: I?ve seen a trigger .547 trombone out (I believe it?s a Tiger Trombone) and wondering what the group wisdom is as to the effectiveness in the trigger range (Low F to Low C) and what brand(s) have you tried, thoughts one each, where to buy, etc? I ask because here in Atlanta, we do a Yule Slide holiday trombone event each year, and this year, I?d like to add a ?P-Bone Edition? as a second event. The big problem is, the 4th book requires a trigger (unless you?re REALLY good at ?fake tones? ? which I?d rather not deal with ;) Okay, the forum is open?discuss ? but please stay on topic (grin) ? else I?ll ask about slide lubricant (LOL).

I got called to do Glazounow Fantasie and borrowed a Bb rotary Bass trumpet made by Ganter. I recognize the brand as one that is used by orchestral trumpeters. This one has serious intonation problems. Most bass trumpets I?ve heard are like a bright trombone sound. This one has a larger throated bell and has a mellower sound. I even plugged on a Bach 15EW mpc. Is this appropriate for this piece of music? The score shows the bass trumpet as playing with both trumpets and trombones at times and independently at other times. I?m wondering if I should try to locate another brighter sounding instrument, or am I just over analyzing it and I should just shut up and play?

The composition will be composed for 2 trumpets, Horn, trombone, and bass trombone. The bass trombone part will be adapted if necessary so that it could be played on tuba, for those quintets with a tuba instead of bass trombone. The composition will be called *Lexicon II* and will have four movements: Ballyhoo, Clandestine, Eerie, and Amok. The idea behind the Lexicon series of compositions is to have the music describe the definition of the movement title.
