Trombone octet - Grade 5

SKU: BY.BR8-806

Composed by Jeff Cortazzo. Score and parts. Duration 7 minutes, 30 seconds. Published by BRS Music (BY.BR8-806).

Born from Opus Esoterica for trombone quartet, the octet version has things a bit more spread out between the voices with certain chords re-voiced, adding volume and depth. Written to be a brief rhapsody on the various lip-slurs and tonguing exercises that trombonists know all too well, the piece begins very simply, as if the performers are 'warming-up'. It then quickly develops into a powerful essay of arpeggios and complex rhythms and demands tremendous ensemble precision, coordination and power. Range: Trbn; 1-high Dflat to Trbn. 4 (bass); pedal F.
