Stupendous, THAT IS WHY THE TROMBONE IS THE BEST INSTRUMENT IN THE UNIVERSE cause if you that you can play a horn pic up a trombone and play something fast and see wht type of musician u are. Wonderful guys i appreciate your hard work.
I'm in a Steel Drum Band at my school, and we played this. It was really fun. Everyone who heard it really enjoyed it, and they were surprised how good it sounded on the steel drum.
I really can't say this enough, what makes this works is how well this group blends timbres. I've heard several recordings of this by trombone ensembles of various sizes, and that ability makes this one the best. Granted, I wouldn't mind seeing the Blair Witch Project handi-cam thing go.
i have a recording of this recorded by the London Symphony Brass Section. The Cathedral Brass played this. But to see a trombone quartet play a full brass piece is amazing. They must have really good chops and be really good players
The ranges are positively incredible! First part runs from a D above high C down to a second line D (spends most of its time in Tenor clef, boys and girls) while the bass bone runs from F above the staff to a pedal D (the train sound so often discussed here). Fun piece, better felt than counted, trust me on this.
Dude I wish I was half this good on trombone... it makes me sad. my band director isn't even this good and when he plays it makes my heart melt... this is so awesome
RIGHT ON! TROMBONE IS THE BEST INSTRUMENT PERIOD. all those other instruments scoff at our Tbone, let them try it! one the hardest instruments to just pick up and play, but once you get good, you are awesome!
Lord and Par, it depends upon the horn and yourself. I play a Getzen, David Taylor, bass bone that I have had converted to the dual independent Thayer Valves. I play it open with a Monet BT-1L. Massive mouthpiece, but extremely flexible and the horn "speaks" in any register with solid authority that is almost a physical presence.
I have talked with them. They took the Costa Rica version and amped it up a bit on their own. I don't have a firm quote, but it is available from them direct.
@CKRUG13 But beware! The first and second parts are written in Tenor clef and range upwards to a high A (and above) and the bass part drops frequently to a pedal D!!!!
@iboneic13 There is a D one octave above that pedal D in the 3rd trombone part that makes it sound that way. I was thinking the same thing until I ordered this piece and played it (I play Bass Bone). It is quite difficult to control the volume and tone of a pedal especially when you are looking for just the right amount of edge.
@iboneic13 perhaps you are mistaking distortion introduced by the recording quality (lack there of) for bad tone, as far as I can tell his tone is fine. I've played Tuba for quite a few years and play Bass Trombone as well, so low notes on brass are something I'm both familiar with and fond of. I'm also a regular and frequent listener to many recordings containing low brass work and I have found many times that the recording will misrepresent what low instruments actually sounded like live.
The sackbut has been around since the renaissance, and the modern trombone is similar enough the sackbut that Bach would not have been very confused by it, other than perhaps wondering about the extra tubing or the increased size.
Compare this with Canadian Brass: the trumpets sound small and the french horn is in a different county. This all-trombone version has a power and raw drama that not even the organ setting can match. Who would have thought a piece conceived for keyboard could sound so impressive on trombone, of all things?
Do you know "Les Equales" (I don't know the translation in english) by Beethoven this piece is for 4 trombones. I heard it by 4 cellos, it's wonderful. But, you're very good too, bravo ! I find that by Google: Drei Equale für vier Posaunen, WoO 30 (d-moll, D-dur, B-dur)
Very nice pedal D, but, having heard a very nice recording on this site of this being played on a 214 rank organ, there are more places where I'd wished you played the pedal register.
yeah, probably. LOL. But the first slide trombone was made in the early 18th century when Bach was a little older. He lived until 1750- born in 1685. He was 65 when he died. He may have known what a slide trombone was. It's quite possible. I know that doesn't explain what it would be like if he was still alive or not. But just posting a fact. WHO KNOWS???

Im a Tenor Trombonist, even the tenor part sounds like it would hurt. lol. you gys are some of the best Tromboneists i hav ever heard
I'm in a Steel Drum Band at my school, and we played this. It was really fun. Everyone who heard it really enjoyed it, and they were surprised how good it sounded on the steel drum.
Outstanding individual playing and excellent playing as a quartet - great fun to listen to and watch!
Nagyon nagyok vagyok!!! Ezt én soha nem fogom tudni eljátszani... :) Trombone forever!
Absolutely fantastic playing!
The camera man must have been standing on the deck of a boat.
Gyerekek ez nagyon ott van! egy kollága budapestről.

Listened to the whole thing and I am ADD. Made me smile. Never heard it done like this. I loved it.
Bass Bone is incredible. Trills ae good. I'm always impressed by lip trills. And double-tonguing. And tone. Great job.
A bass bone is more likely to be feared and respected cause the ablity to hit note that is just amazing and scary at the same time.
Wow! This is awesome! The trombones capture the power of the piece even better than a keyboard instrument. Nicely done!
I don't have words to comment this. They must come from another planet. Awesome!!!!!!!
videos like this is why i love playin bass bone...i want this music...cuz i can hit those notes just as loud and clear all day!!
Awesome, when I am sad I play this and I am happy again!

Wonderful!!!!! Is fantastic!!!!! My congratulations!!!!!!!
as a sax player, I have a new respect for them slowbone players out there, (passes out from awe).
Really Good!
Never heard so dynamic trombones.
WOW?That was just off the wall awesome.The bass bone player kicks ass.
Dude I wish I was half this good on trombone... it makes me sad. my band director isn't even this good and when he plays it makes my heart melt... this is so awesome
RIGHT ON! TROMBONE IS THE BEST INSTRUMENT PERIOD. all those other instruments scoff at our Tbone, let them try it! one the hardest instruments to just pick up and play, but once you get good, you are awesome!
I really like these guys, especially the basstrombone player: awsome pedaltones mate!!

One Word. AMAZING. im the first chair Tbone at my high school, and i couldnt play this well. maybe with practice, but you guys are just simply amazing
Gotta love bass trombone! *sniff* it was beautiful *sniff*
ive mastered this bass trombone part...its an absolute blast to play
What a great performance! They blended their sound beautifully.
Really unbelievable. Up to now i've only heard a brass version from Canadian Brass.
But that beats everything!
Well done guys! Great trombone playing.You deserved more of an audience!
increible felicitaciones maestros !!!!!
Awesome Selection - one of my favorites - an absolutely great musical and technical performance from all - WOW!!
Oh my sweet Jesus!!!! that was nothing short than incredibe!!!!
Man, the extreme bass notes are the best. It sounds like a lion roaring.
This gives me chills every time I hear it! Perhaps the best rendition on brass I've heard! Tops Canadian Brass!
This is just incredible! I wish I could have been there live to witness this. It would probably have brought tears to my eyes. BRAVO!
simply incredible, fantastic playing, for a guy like me who aspires to become a professional trombone player, this is very inspiring
I am truly stunned! Great!
Absolutely fantastic!
Nice full sound. I love it!
Superb! Way to go

whatching again this video...
bass tromobne is fuckng awesome!!!
2:35 gives me chills. AWESOME JOB!!
Lord and Par, it depends upon the horn and yourself. I play a Getzen, David Taylor, bass bone that I have had converted to the dual independent Thayer Valves. I play it open with a Monet BT-1L. Massive mouthpiece, but extremely flexible and the horn "speaks" in any register with solid authority that is almost a physical presence.
magnificat vos est
I have talked with them. They took the Costa Rica version and amped it up a bit on their own. I don't have a firm quote, but it is available from them direct.
bass bone rocks! he's got chop and lung. hot damn.
Brilliant
Holy Bass trombone!
@CKRUG13 But beware! The first and second parts are written in Tenor clef and range upwards to a high A (and above) and the bass part drops frequently to a pedal D!!!!
I think their names are in the top right of this page! LOL!
Are there any recordings available of these guys? Holy shit, this is nuts...I've not heard this arrangement played anywhere close to this clean!
@iboneic13 There is a D one octave above that pedal D in the 3rd trombone part that makes it sound that way. I was thinking the same thing until I ordered this piece and played it (I play Bass Bone). It is quite difficult to control the volume and tone of a pedal especially when you are looking for just the right amount of edge.
@CKRUG13 yes, go to Hickey's ... I think it is Hickeys at least, on line. They have two arrangements, and it is surprisingly inexpensive.
That, friend, is a pedal D, and why a bass trombone is to be either respected or feared.
good arangment!
You can get this at Warwick's Music
This is the exact arrangement, super fun!!!!
If only Bach was alive now. He would be happy with the guys playing the trombones.
@iboneic13 perhaps you are mistaking distortion introduced by the recording quality (lack there of) for bad tone, as far as I can tell his tone is fine. I've played Tuba for quite a few years and play Bass Trombone as well, so low notes on brass are something I'm both familiar with and fond of. I'm also a regular and frequent listener to many recordings containing low brass work and I have found many times that the recording will misrepresent what low instruments actually sounded like live.
That's what I was 'thinking'. :)
fucking awesome, guys!
This was great...but i thought the tempo was a little on the fast side. Still though. VERY GREAT JOB!

good question
@CKRUG13 yes its toccata in fugue in d minor easy to find

But, you're very good too, bravo !

holy trill!
Very nice pedal D, but, having heard a very nice recording on this site of this being played on a 214 rank organ, there are more places where I'd wished you played the pedal register.
Excelente!!! de donde son?
0:23 - 0:24
OMG. I want and need to be able to hit that note.
Is that... a pedal D or so? Sounds so awesome.
yeah, probably. LOL. But the first slide trombone was made in the early 18th century when Bach was a little older. He lived until 1750- born in 1685. He was 65 when he died.

WHO KNOWS???
Paul Berger is amazing on the 'bone! How 'bout it?
