Bel Canto Vocalises for Bass Trombone (or Tuba): Progressive Etudes for Study and Performance, Bass Trombone or Tuba and Piano

Arthur Pryor (1870-1942) was one of the best-known trombonists and bandsmen of his day. Trombone soloist for John Philip Sousa's celebrated bandpl beginning in 1892, he later functioned as assistant conductor of the Sousa band (1894-1903) before starting his own ensemble. His more than 300 compositions include novelty tunes, ragtime pieces and operettas, but of course he is best remembered today for his virtuosic solos for his own instrument. This book collects eight of his most popular solos in one volume and includes Blue Bells of Scotland, Fantastic Polka, The Little Chief (Polka Caprice), Love's Enchantment (Valse de Concert), Thoughts of Love and more. This is a book everytrombonist will want to have in his or her library.
These 27 vocalise are masterfully compiled, transcribed, and edited by trombonist Alan Raph and include etudes from Giuseppe Concone, Gaetano Nava, Giovanni Lamperti, and Mr. Raph himself. They can be used as etudes in the practice room to focus on legato phrasing, dynamics, and bass trombone register, or can be performed with piano as works highlighting phrasing and interpretation.
