Brass Ensemble Trombone - Level 4 - Digital Download
SKU: A0.955729
By Elvis Presley. By Richard Rodgers. Arranged by Phil Thrift. This edition: pdf. Contemporary. Score and parts. 15 pages. Phil Thrift #5769067. Published by Phil Thrift (A0.955729).
Blue Moon is best performed by not telling your audience what is coming! Many listeners will be unfamiliar with the almost recitative-style opening that follows the four-measure intro. So when the well-known tune is finally heard at measure 23, some at least will be pleasantly surprised. But don’t decorate the melody too much here; just enjoy it as it is, let that warm trombone sound shine through! The 2nd trombone can decorate the melody a little more from measure 31 onward, but don’t let any swing feeling creep in before measure 38. You may wish to speed up a bit more than I have indicated at measures 47 and 62, but don’t play the swing sections too fast – this is not an up-tempo version. Just strengthen the swing feeling a little each time. This piece will test your quartet’s ability to play an easy swing really tight – especially when the melody is being pulled around, the lead player is maybe playing a little "behind the beat". As is usual with my arrangements, every player has the lead at some point, and possibly the chance to introduce a few of their own ideas. This arrangement gives you plenty of opportunity to exploit those all-important trombone characteristics: slide vibrato, bends, and smears, but above all, a warm sound!
