Trombone Resources

An annotated survey of published materials for chamber, concertante, and vocal music originally conceived for wind instruments.

The most comprehensive guide available to brass music written by black composers.

Features the trombone, its history, music, performers, performance practices (including jazz performance), instruments and equipment, and pedagogical topics that are of concern to those who teach the instrument.

J. Mark Thompson and Jeffrey Jon Lemke have compiled and annotated listings of French literature for tenor trombone, bass trombone, tuba, and bass saxhorn, as well as repertoire suitable for the modern euphonium. In addition to these solo pieces, the authors provide separate listings of pedagogical materials for each of these four instruments.Each entry gives the date of composition or publication of the piece, the publisher, the length, the range, the level of difficulty, an indication of its use as a competition solo at the Paris Conservatory, and a description of its musical style or character. French Music for Low Brass Instruments is a valuable guide for teachers and students about a field that until now has not been investigated in depth.
