*Fanfare in B-flat*

for Three Trombones and Orchestra                           -
         for Trombones and Concert Band

for Trombones and Brass Band                                  -
            for Three Trombones and Piano

*Bright and showy but not overly difficult. Use three or a section - a
“Trombonist’s Holiday” for a new era.*

-------

*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 and Piano:*

Traditional, arranged Horton: "Were You There"

*(Suitable for church or recital, makes a moving impression wherever it is
played. Tough piano part!)*

-------

*Trombone Trios:*



William Byrd / Horton: "The Carman's Whistle"   *One pro said "The best
trombone trio I've ever played!"*

J. Wilbye / Horton: "As Fair as Morn"*   Playable by good high school
students. Enjoyable.*

-------

*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.*
