Large Ensemble Trombone - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.928181 Composed by P. F. Strohm. 20th Century,Contemporary,Contest,Festival. Score and parts. 76 pages. Pete Strohm Music #6717311. Published by Pete Strohm Music (A0.928181). Trilogy (for Trombone Ensemble) is a three-section work from American composer P. F. Strohm, written for the Eastman Trombone Choir. This setting of the work is scored for a 10-part trombone ensemble, comprised of two Alto, six Tenor, Bass and Contrabass trombone parts. The Contrabass trombone part is suitable for a second Bass trombone. There are also substitute Tenor parts for the two Altos. The scoring in much of the work employs antiphonal writing, using two quintet groupings to great effect. The sound of the piece is tonal, ranging from quiet contemplation to thundering assertion. It opens with a chorale-like 3/2 that lasts about four minutes, moving into a powerful three-and-a-half minute incantation, then bursts into a two-and-a-half minute dance in 7/4. Trilogy is Medium-Advanced level of difficulty owing to the Alto parts, and makes an excellent concert or contest work. Total performance time is 10:00. Member, ASCAP.
