Absolutely AMAZING piece. I love to play it. But this is a WHOLE different level. I love the final run up where he plays a fourth higher than written and glisses to the super F. It's just BRILLIANT.
I believe I was involved in this concerto's world premiere. Trombone Society event at Eton College. Soloist was Christian Lindberg. Band was Sun Life from Bristol. Derek Bourgeois attended the rehearsal before the concert, itself. Soloist and composer had the odd debate. I recall an additional line being played by the trombone in the middle movement, not in the published score. The composer thought the finale should taken at a more sedate tempo, but Lindberg thought otherwise and quietly told the band to....."keep up, and follow me". The following day Lindberg when off to record the concerto with a wind band somewhere.
What I really love abut this soloist is that he is able to maintain excellent tone quality even when playing this fast, most performers just become aggressive and give the sound far too much edge.
estupendo trombonista sin duda ni sikiera al tocar lo liga escepto al ultimo k lo hace con un impresionante final tambien con una gran banda con la cual otro que se luce es la trompeta
when trombone music is written in treble clef, it's written an octave and a tone higher than actual pitch (so it's a transposing instrument). it was done like this to make switching between brass instruments easier - trumpet etc are all pitched in Bb... so brass bands made trombone in Bb as well, and a lot of europeans learnt this notation rather than the more common bass/tenor clef concert pitch notation... hope that helps =S
I've never heard of this. I've played plenty of parts written in treble on trombone and each one of them has been in C unless the piece was not written for trombone
@@theryanjester7209 that's really interesting. Whereabouts do you live? And do you play orchestral, wind band or brass band music mainly? Or something else?
@@theryanjester7209 Its primarily a result from back when Brass Bands were forming in the early days of the UK. They had to mass teach coal miners how to read sheet music so it was just easier to have them all reading treble transposing to Bb, or Eb in the case of the tenor horn and eb tuba. I'm not familiar with Bb treble clef on trombone being that popular outside of a brass band setting
Es Joseph Alessi!!! está ejecutando esta pieza. También tengo al grabación con Christian Lindberg, al estilo de Christian Lindberg. Si quieres que suba también el video solo avisame!!
sure everyone can say oh so and so is better, blah blah blah...you have to give it up for anyone that plays this piece, its truly a beast on the bone and anyone that can play (especially as well as Alessi or Lindberg) deserves mad respect imo
This music is in treble most likely because it is a british b-flat trombone part like is read in brass bands or it might be a treble clef euphonium part as this solo is also played on euphonium.
Derek Bourgeouis is from the UK... It's common for trombonists in the UK to know and read B-flat treble clef... This solo was originally released in B-flat treble, but the copy I have is Tenor clef, with small sections of bass clef throughout. A great concerto, all three movements
That makes sense. I used to play in a brass band, in fact I started on Baritone Horn before trombone, so I now do treble, tenor and bass on 'bone (what a nerd). i had no idea this was originally for brass band though. Interesting, because the pieces are: Op. 114a (Trombone and Concert Band) Op. 114b (Trombone and Orchestra) and )p. 114c (Trombone and piano).
I played with Christian in the world premiere of this concerto. British Trombone Society event. Eton College. Derek Bourgeois attending. Brass band = Sun Life Band of Bristol. DB had been our conductor a few years before. Knew day after Christian when off to record wind band version. Lot of memories.
A little late in the responses, but I started studying the piece about a month ago, and the online dealer sent me the part with 2 copies in tenor and 2 in treble.
wow as first chair i want to be able to play this eventually like he does but lord i think ill be 100 before gettin tht good and it sounds cool like some underground rats in paris or france or england hahaha but its cool !! fumbs up!!
@homerheel but this sheet is written in a transposing instrument in B-flat...so I don 't think it's Euphonium...it seems like trumpet sheets or something but I'm not entirely sure...
Yeah everyone gets that. In the program notes it says the Concerto is just as "appropriate" on Euphonium. So, Euphs can play the treble, and anyone can hand a copy in to an adjudicator at competitions! How thoughtful of them.
Just a question... anybody know why the music's in Treble clef, I'm lucky enough to be able to read it because I started out on Baritone Horn, but does Alessi normally read Treble?
oh i see, but! the C in third space in treble clef is supposed to be one octave above the C in fourth line in tenor clef, so here comes the question again. why the music is in treble clef?? It should be in tenor..
Well, I didn't realise the letters were added AFTERWARDS. Heh, playing this for 8 months and still don't know half the stuff about it. I realise that wondering if Alessi can read treble was stupid now as well, as once you can read tenor, playing treble on the 'bone is essentially tenor with different accidentals in some places...
That's a damned good question. Maybe he just didn't feel like buying notation paper with a tenor clef on it and decided to use some treble clef paper he had left over?
That would be awesome. I doesn't matter if it's in bass clef or tenor clef. I can read both pretty well. alto and treble clef are still ify...... so maybe if you could write it or trombone in either bass or tenor clef
thats not completely true... when there is a tenor clef, you have to erase 2 flats and and if there is no flat before a written f (in b flat treble clef) and a written c it's a played fis (on basscornet) and cis
Absolutely AMAZING piece. I love to play it. But this is a WHOLE different level. I love the final run up where he plays a fourth higher than written and glisses to the super F. It's just BRILLIANT.
Damn. This was absolutely amazing. I'm a trumpet player and I think I just found who I"m gonna be listening too for a LONG time.

This soloist is Joseph Alessi. And 100% agreed.
Yeah because it’s Joseph Alessi
estupendo trombonista sin duda ni sikiera al tocar lo liga escepto al ultimo k lo hace con un impresionante final tambien con una gran banda con la cual otro que se luce es la trompeta
Bravo... wish I could play like that.
He's definitely earned his first chair in the Philharmonic.
Amazing trombone. Beautiful sound, technique and feeling. Go Joe!
I like that you put the music up it nice to be able to watch the music as well as hear it
this guy is the chuck norris of trombone
@Snookbone yeah the sound quality is ridiculously well controlled for how fast the piece moves, that's what makes this particular performance amazing

an incredible piece, wonderfullly composed and played
Thanks for posting. I just purchased this music and i'm waiting for it to be delivered. Joe Allessi plays it very well.
Great all the way around!
Aboslutely magical!
Es Joseph Alessi!!! está ejecutando esta pieza.
También tengo al grabación con Christian Lindberg, al estilo de Christian Lindberg. Si quieres que suba también el video solo avisame!!
Amazing!
This is amazing, he´s the best !!!!
absolutamente fantastico!
Amazing, and them he said that if need to be he will keep on conducting and maybe later stop playing......he is just a natural wonder...WOW
Alessi sounds flawless.
This gives me some Banjo-Kazooie vibes
sure everyone can say oh so and so is better, blah blah blah...you have to give it up for anyone that plays this piece, its truly a beast on the bone and anyone that can play (especially as well as Alessi or Lindberg) deserves mad respect imo
OHHHH MY GAAAAWWDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!! nice bass clarinet part :D
@rugbyplayer9999 pure insanity... or genius... there is a very fine line.
Fantastic ..
Thanks! :D

Lot of memories.
A little late in the responses, but I started studying the piece about a month ago, and the online dealer sent me the part with 2 copies in tenor and 2 in treble.
It's writen in treble clef in Bb so you can read it as tenor clef and add 2 flats(Bb and Eb)
I don't own any Apple products. Any other place where I can get them?
iTunes. Hooray for supporting the industry!
the lad can certainly play his bone.
i feel like crying....
wow as first chair i want to be able to play this eventually like he does but lord i think ill be 100 before gettin tht good and it sounds cool like some underground rats in paris or france or england hahaha but its cool !! fumbs up!!
Pro-tip: practice all this stuff this slow. Like a 1/2 to even a 1/3 of the speed. Ingrain it correctly at a slow tempo then speed it up.
i think i just shit myself from pure awesomeness
It's treble clef in B flat, which can be read exactly the same as tenor clef
@homerheel but this sheet is written in a transposing instrument in B-flat...so I don 't think it's Euphonium...it seems like trumpet sheets or something but I'm not entirely sure...
Does anyone happen to have any sheet music for this piece? It's so amazing, but hard
Yeah everyone gets that. In the program notes it says the Concerto is just as "appropriate" on Euphonium. So, Euphs can play the treble, and anyone can hand a copy in to an adjudicator at competitions! How thoughtful of them.
awesome
@yalalag2000 En esta versión es Joseph Alessi
You know a piece is hard when the soloist and band has trouble with their parts haha
Wow....
wowy...
here the clefs are confused. The notes are recorded correctly but the clef here is a tenor "C".
No for this it's ut4 😉
Wow i wish i could play like that!!!!! anyone know where i can get this piece from?
@OMGedInStoresNearYou he didn't! it's actually a mixture of bass and tenor clef... but these are the sheets for euphonium! (i guess)
Oh yes, and not bragging or anything, but I play this from memory. Just shows that I'm even more nerdy.
Does anyone know where I can get the other two movements of this performance? I always like to have all movements from the same recording.
Just a question... anybody know why the music's in Treble clef, I'm lucky enough to be able to read it because I started out on Baritone Horn, but does Alessi normally read Treble?
@Snookbone well he IS joe allessi
it's joe alessi. he can do anything tht involves a trombone
its actually syncopated double tounging im double tounging while listening to it
I wanna play this on..... Yup i cant.
oh i see, but! the C in third space in treble clef is supposed to be one octave above the C in fourth line in tenor clef, so here comes the question again. why the music is in treble clef?? It should be in tenor..
The best performance from this work is by Albert Mertens.
Although, I think he plays the last note a 4th higher (i.e. he plays the tonic of the chord rather than the 5th which is written)
Well, I didn't realise the letters were added AFTERWARDS. Heh, playing this for 8 months and still don't know half the stuff about it. I realise that wondering if Alessi can read treble was stupid now as well, as once you can read tenor, playing treble on the 'bone is essentially tenor with different accidentals in some places...
That's a damned good question. Maybe he just didn't feel like buying notation paper with a tenor clef on it and decided to use some treble clef paper he had left over?
I don't think so, notice it's written in treble clef in C (brass band style)
yes, you can use Ares
Good
sheetmusicplus sells it
That would be awesome. I doesn't matter if it's in bass clef or tenor clef. I can read both pretty well. alto and treble clef are still ify...... so maybe if you could write it or trombone in either bass or tenor clef
is this at concert pitch?
my bad i didnt mean this....it was originally arranged for brass bands...some1 re arranged it for concert but its deff a brass band piece
alguno de ustedes tiene la instrumentacion??
Hahahaha! Got that right.
because its brass bands and every1 in a brass band minus the bass trombone player and timpani player read treble
Wait, nevermind. I thought it was written in until I saw it wasn't. :)
why the music is in treble clef?? some notes are just impossible!
its in alto cleff
C Treble Clef, same as Tener clef.
it's seriously in treble clef? wow..
@sinisterplug giggity ;) lol
@homerheel Insulting comment to make. Do your research first please! Derek Bourgeois was a trombonist himself!
I thought tuba and not that good.
His best friend was John Fletcher and they sat together as kids.
But maybe later he changed?
@rugbyplayer9999 a fucking genius :)
lucky
My bad, Bb Treble clef. Tener clef, just add the two flats..
thats not completely true...
when there is a tenor clef, you have to erase 2 flats and and if there is no flat before a written f (in b flat treble clef) and a written c it's a played fis (on basscornet) and cis
jaja I guess we´ll never know dude jaja
Make that 7...
Um who can even move the slide this fast jk
Or their teachers ;)
im scared............
Entrance reminds me of Flight of a Bumblebee SOOOOO much.
@rugbyplayer9999 jesus :D
Demon spawn
...
Oh.my.god. That's all i can say.
You should also always think to yourself - "Would I ever be able to play as well as Joseph Alessi?"
Alessi doesn’t play this perfectly. It’s very damn good, probably the best anyone’s ever played it. But it’s not perfect.
@rugbyplayer9999 The devil.
the score is not going with the music
6 people are in a corner crying with their trombone
Is he playing this an octave down?
The score is written an octave higher than the trombone register.
@@jacobtapianieto9655 Actually I think its written in tenor clef if I'm not mistaken.
this whole score is slow...and sucks
@rugbyplayer9999 The devil.
