In the 1960s Malcolm Arnold wrote a series of unaccompanied fantasies for the trumpet, horn,trombone and tuba. The pieces became very popular with generations of brass players. It was a great pleasure to meet Sir Malcolm a few years before he died and present him with copies of my Fantasies, telling him his own compositions were a great influence on me.
It was only after I had finished and heard the Trombone Fantasy performed that I realised the influence the Gordon Jacob Trombone Concerto had on the opening. The opening Brilliante is followed by a slower melodic theme very Celtic in style. This ends with the player having to hold a long F major chord.The Scerzando tests the agility of the performer with its range, flutter tongueing and glissandos. The piece finishes with a short recapitulation of the main theme.
9 unaccompanied pieces covering many different technical problems. Grade 7. Available for Trombone and Bass Trombone. This is the version for TROMBONE in treble clef.
Nine pieces covering many different technical problems within a short time span and overall musical structure.
“. . . all (Fantasy Pieces) should be in brass players’ possession.” Reviewed ‘Music Teacher’
