Bass trombone unaccompanied - advanced SKU: CY.CC2912
Composed by Phil Brink. Contemporary. Booklet. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2912). Phil Brink's new work for unaccompanied Bass Trombone is in three contrasting movements:
1. Harmonies - subtitled The Trombone Strikes Bach is pensive in mood and in the style of an Unaccompanied Prelude by Bach.
2. Balooze - subtitled A Sort of Soliloquoy is in a swung blues-style including a free cadenza-like introduction. It also includes a foot tapping accompaniment and multiphonics, reminiscent of Bernstein's Mippy II.
3. Rhythmus - Movement At High Speed, the finale is in a Presto tempo with lots of technical wizardry for the performer.
This very fine work of about 7-minutes in length is appropriate for advanced performers.
The live sample sound track featuring a portion of each movement is performed on the Bass Trom
bone by the composer himself, Phil Brink.
