I first heard this piece, originally written
for organ, in a transcription for full brass choir. I was immediately
impressed with the grandeur and nobility of the work, and became
even more taken with the music when I got a hold of a recording
of the original organ version. Not long after that I started
work on this version for eight trombones.
The transcription features the bass trombone
in several extended solo statements of the main theme, &
concludes with a final grand chorale that gives the octet a chance
to display the full power and tonal range of the trombone choir.
Suitable for College & Professional
