Trombone Quartet

Description

• Composer: Walter Ross
• Publisher: Boosey & Hawkes

Originally commissioned by the principal trombonist for the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra
A showpiece for trombone quartet, these three short movements display the musical capabilities of the trombone in a variety of ways. "Intrada" contrasts the aggressive capabilities of the instrument as well as a piquant mood. The "Chorale" is broad and harmonically rich while the last movement, "Scherzo", uses a combination of open and muted sounds in a technical tour-de-force.
