Works by RAYMOND HORTON for Trombone:


RECENTLY PUBLISHED by rayhortonmusic.com:


Fanfare in B-flat
for Three Trombones and Orchestra              -                 for Trombones and Concert Band
for Trombones and Brass Band                      -                    for Three Trombones and Piano

Bright and showy but not overly difficult. Use three or a section - a “Trombonist’s Holiday” for a new era.
See the separate page for Fanfare in B-flat under "Orchestra"
-------
Episodes - for Trombone Quartet
Two movements: “I - Annunciation” - Bright! 
“II - “Reflection; Confrontation” - A quiet beginning to a stormy ending in three intense minutes. 
All four parts are interesting; Trombone 1 is a blow! Challenging!
Recorded by Elysian Trombone Consort - soon to be released

"Horton's orchestration is masterfully crafted. It captures the essence of the original concerto, while showcasing the wonderful colors and textures of the symphonic orchestra. Bravo!" 
Trombonist Delfeayo Marsalis, after a performance of the full concerto in April 2018:

"It was my great pleasure to premiere Raymond Horton’s new orchestration of Rimsky-Korsakov’s Trombone Concerto. The score and parts are easy to read and Mr. Horton has done an exemplary job in transferring the wind ensemble colors to the more homogeneous sound of full orchestra. The balances between soloist and ensemble have been astutely handled in the orchestration and, in performance, the work sparkles with verve and vitality."
Michael Gesme, Music Director - Central Oregon Symphony; Professor of Music at Central Oregon Community College and Chair of the Department of Fine Arts and Communication.

​PUBLISHED by Cimarron Music Press at cimarronmusic.com:

Trombone and Piano:
Traditional, arranged Horton: "Were You There"
(Suitable for church or recital, makes a moving impression wherever it is played. Tough piano part!)
Also available for HORN and Piano

-------
Trombone Trios:
William Byrd / Horton: "The Carman's Whistle"   One pro said "The best trombone trio I've ever played!"
J. Wilbye / Horton: "As Fair as Morn"   Playable by good high school students. Enjoyable.
-------
Trombone Quartets:
J. Bennet: “Two Madrigals” One slow, one fast.   Slow one is easy and beautiful.
William Byrd / Horton: "The Carman's Whistle"   Same as the trio, but less difficult, fuller-sounding.
William Byrd / Horton: "Look Down, O Lord"   Playable by high school students, great for church.
Di Lasso / Horton: "Carmina Chromatico”   Incredible study in modulation - slow and dramatic!
Traditional French / Horton: "Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence"  Beautiful tune, beautiful treatment.
Trombone profs from a national workshop audience called Cimarron for this before it was available - really!
Recorded by the Elysian Trombone Consort on a soon to be released solo CD by Timothy Anderson
-------
Euphonium/Tuba Quartet, Trombone Quartet, or Three Trombones and Tuba:
William Byrd / Horton: “Five Pieces from The Battel” (published by Cimarron as a Trombone Quartet only)

Byrd at his finest. Euphs and tubas can use suggested embellishments to make this a tour de force.
