Par HIMES WILLIAM. This rousing, jubilant overture mixes five original themes with the well-known doxology Old Hundredth, which is also known as Praise God, from Whom All Blessings Flow. The hymn is presented in short lyrical, energetic motif fragments, which combine until the complete hymn is presented in the form of a chorale prelude. This is a wonderful and truly uplifting concert work. / Nivea…

Isn't the glissando the REAL reason your Trombone section decided to play that particular instrument?…

Par HANNICKEL MIKE. It's time for those sassy, brass trumpets to step to the front and make sure everyone knows they are there. / Niveau : 0.5 / Musique légère originale / Répertoire / Concert Band

Par BULLA STEPHEN. Stephen Bulla strikes gold again with this accessible but jazzy Trombone section feature. There is plenty of rhythmic fun for everyone while the trombones get that important time out front. The old spiritual 'The Gospel Train' lends itself beautifully to a swing-jazz treatment and if there's anyone who knows how to bring the jazz idiom to the concert band setting it's Stephen Bu…
