{"product_id":"slides-and-legends","title":"Slides and Legends","description":"\u003cp\u003eI started this piece up the octave for tenor trombone, but after 16 measures or so I knew it had to be for that most heroic of instruments: the Bass Trombone!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn opening inspired by the icy coldness of Sibelius moves into a more cheerful passage that builds in excitement to some epic low notes. Suddenly, a distant chorale on the piano is heard, borrowing the melody from J.S. Bach, BWV 259 (\u003cem\u003eAch, was soll ich Sünder machen\u003c\/em\u003e), but re-harmonizing it in a surprising way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Bass Trombone eventually takes over again, with an improvisatory passage culminating in a primordial pedal F. There is another echo of the chorale before the cheerful music returns, at first a bit tentative, then picking up steam into a virtuosic Allegro to the end, with a brief excursion to B minor\/F# major and a few surprises along the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSlides and Legends is intended for advanced intermediate players and above. It is playable on a single-valve bass trombone (F attachment), and is appropriate for most recital programs. Playing time is about 6:40.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePage turns in the piano part should be fine for rehearsal purposes, but in a performance your accompanist may want to use a page-turner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you perform this piece, I would love to have a copy of the program!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e...Brad Howland\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWatch a sample \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/E2AETlxkpBQ\" title=\"Watch Sample Video\"\u003eYouTube video\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Music For Brass.com","offers":[{"title":"Bass trombone and piano","offer_id":42860594429998,"sku":"BH-80","price":14.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0574\/8408\/3246\/files\/slides_and_legends.jpg?v=1792941062","url":"https:\/\/musicforbrass.com\/products\/slides-and-legends","provider":"Music For Brass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
