Score and parts

Primary Genre: Elementary Material - ensemble
Secondary Genre: Trombone Ensembles - 3 trombones

There are ten original trios in this collection: Processional, Waltz, Festival, Hymn, Rainbows, Nightfall, Bells, Shadows, Designs, and Folk Dance. These titles illustrate the variety of moods and tempi David Uber provides to young trombonists who seek interesting material while working on the basics. The lowest note in the third part is F. No part goes above d-flat1; all are in flat keys. An interesting program can be assembled from this collection for a group of young students with a mix of grade levels 1-3. Presentation is excellent.
