Hilarious! What a worthwhile recording project... "Trombone Travels continues its journey, exploring English song at the start of the 20th century and the great song cycles of Sir Edward Elgar, Ralph Vaughan Williams and Sir Charles Villiers Stanford. The trombone’s propensity to mimic vocal techniques – for example, vibrato, portamento, and microtonal inflections – combined with its ability to sustain and manipulate its sound orally, allows a vast spectrum of colours to be achieved. Tone can be adjusted further by inserting a mute into the instrument, giving rise to a whole host of colours not available to the singer." I can think of quite a few singers into whom I would have no hesitation in inserting a mute... ;D ;D ;D |
"A piece is worth your attention, and is itself for you praiseworthy, if it makes you feel you have not wasted your time over it." (Sydney Grew, 1922)

;D I can think of quite a few singers into whom I would have no hesitation in inserting a TROMBONE. But that's just me... Seriously, though, I suppose one must have some sympathy for trombonists whose solo repertoire is on the thin side, to put it mildly. But rather than these songs, I should have thought they might try some transcriptions of the solo horn repertoire, for example |

Canterbury tales, maybe? I'm not sure if her hands are raised in prayer or if she's shielding herself against some sort of gastric Scirocco. It reminds me of dear old Major Blookdnok's digestive travails! |

That is funny! ;D Thank for that,Albion! :) I always remember reading The Canterbury Tales,when I was a youngster. The Miller's Tale! Full of stuff about people farting! I was used to old books being a bit poe-faced,back then (Oops! That's quite funny,in the circumstances! ;D) The Golden Ass by Apuleius,was another one (even older!!!) My sister passed it on to me,because she didn't like it!
