Studies in Ancient Irish Song

By Jeff Cottrell

Although this book is arranged for euphonium, it plays well on the trombone. The songs are not difficult to play, but an advanced player will find them challenging in that an almost infinite variety of expression can (and should) be applied their performance. Like all ancient melodies, no one can...

be sure just how they are supposed to sound, so the musician needs to use his imagination, and try variations. I started playing trombone again two years ago when my wife bought me one for Christmas (and it's a large bore symphony model). It had been close to thirty years since I last played, but it only took me a few months to get it back again.
