Rejoice With Me – Trombone Choir
This beautiful Renaissance motet has been carefully arranged for trombone choir. It was first published in 1572, written by Tomas Luis Victoria, the most famous composer in 16th century Spain and one of the greatest, ranking with Palestrina and Orlando di Lasso.
The simple lines, homophonic textures, rhythmic variety, repeated notes for emphasis, and tonal contrasts foreshadow the major-minor concept characteristic of the Baroque era.
The arranger, Bill Reichenbach, is using this piece for the offertory at his annual Christmas concert. This motet could also be played any time of the year since it is not a familiar carol.
Composer: Bill Reichenbach
Instrumentation: 6 Tenor Trombones & 2 Bass Trombones
Duration/# of Pages: ca. 5:00 / 24 pages, 8.5″ x 11″

Soundscapes – Mixed Duo
Bass trombone and violin? The concept of these two instruments performing as a duo intrigued this composer! Edwin Miller and Todd Park commissioned this composition and wanted it to be an audience-friendly performance piece. The result is a three movement work based on the acoustic combinations of the two sounds.
The first movement opens with a bold statement of “We’re here! Listen!” – dramatic, playful, playable. The second movement begins with the Korean folk song “Arirang” contrasted with “Simple Gifts” and portions of “All The Pretty Little Horses,” and shows off the musicality and sensitivity of the musicians. The third movement’s plaintive introduction leads to a boisterous display of “I can do this, can you?” that features glissandos, triple tonguing, pizzicato vs. staccato, etc., and concludes with the violin playing “Arirang” in 3/4 and the bass trombone playing “Simple Gifts” in 4/4, a loud and triumphant finale.
Thank-you, Edwin and Todd, for wanting a piece you can play together for charity events, recitals and just for fun.
