Danish Trombone Quartet - Toccata & Fuge in d-minor

[Musicgutbucket]

Brilliant!!

[jttrumpet55]

Wonderful rich and full sound. The opening notes sounded like a couple of great B-Flat trumpet players. Nice job in the very upper register there. Great performance. Thanks for sharing.....

[ZendeghiBahal]

you guys play so well together. Bravo!

[brtos]

Very nice!!!

[Thorre21]

Fantastisk!! :)

[ThePultzFamily]

i've heard 3 diffrent trombone quartets play this piece, and you are of course the best!

[kurtos79]

@ThePultzFamily

i think Extreme trombone quartet sounds a lil more professional. but why u could not like this better.?

[boxer4u2nv]

I'd really love to know where I can get myself a copy of this music! Can anyone help?

[matthewharris065]

do a search for "dave Taylor arrangements" in google. This site has it for free and it's tuba quartet form which means two euphoniums/trombones and two tubas, but bass trombones SHOULD be able to handle it.

[Tuba408Bass]

this is frekaing AWESOME!!!!!!!!! now i want to start a trombone choir,and play this song :P

[trombonethjameth]

wow, i think maybe this performance would improve if the quartet wore sunglasses. play better next time.

[Dunielc]

The reason is: He is Jens Vind :D from Aarhus philamonics, he is i would say the best basstrombone in Denmark at this time. i was there and it was the best i've ever heard, i must truely say.

How does that guy guy play the low D so loud at :23? Is it a bass trombone because I can't do that with a F attachment. Nice job guys!!!

[zeppelinflight]

Well, long story short...he's a bass trombone player. He knows how it's done and he does it.

[Pcclancers1996]

When you have a double bass trombone and your a bass bone player,hitting a D that loud is easy.

[familypaladin]

It is a pedal D, and a tenor with an F might be able to get to it, a bass bone is the one that well allow it to really sing. There is an extreme trombone quartet version here in youtube and that bass bonist is just an animal!

[BigFlipFlap]

Thanks. I've been practicing pedals and now I can easily reach that note. Some of the obstacles that I had reaching that pedal was also due to my trombone.

[familypaladin]

What were you playing? And what are you playing now? I currently have a Getzen David Taylor (dual bore) bass bone that I have customized with the dual Thayer (Axial) valves. I use a Monette BT-1L mouthpiece. The rig just roars! I am "negotiating' with Shires at the moment to step-up.

[BigFlipFlap]

lucky! I wish I had a bass trombone with thayer valves. But I only got a olds ambassador with a F-attachment. Built in 1940 something. And if I can make that thing roar with a Bach 6 1/2 Al mouthpiece, I can't imagine what I can play with your customized trombone.

[BigFlipFlap]

Lucky! I wish I had that or a bass trombone. I can make my olds ambassador trombone roar with a Bach 6 1/2 AL mouthpiece I can't imagine what I can do with that! btw..... do you think that a Bach or Getzen bass trombone can out blast a drum set with a Bach Megatone mouthpiece?

[familypaladin]

Well .... would sure be fun to try. Nature of the beast. As one of my instructors put it, "There is nothing musical about bass trombone, it is to provide punctuation and tonal flatulatnce." He should know, a retired director of Salvation Army Bands for North America and bass trombone with the London Symphony.

[familypaladin]

You have learned one important lesson, the horn is a tool, but it takes talent to make things happen. You could put a Shires in the hands of a beginner and it will still sound like a beginner. These days, you can get Conn, Getzen, and Bach with Thayers, and a lot of the stores are willing to "deal" - especially if you have cash - hint hint. Go for it and happy hunting.

[BigFlipFlap]

Hey! I can play a low D without the f-attachment. It's all in the embouchure.

[winston5610]

Great job, Guys! I often wish I'd kept up with the 'bone.

[dale1966gto]

Superb! This is the result of years of study + 4 extremely talented musicians.

[Yetanotherrob]

Does anybody know who's arrangement this is? Technically, it's unbelievably good but some of the chords sound oddly orchestrated ... may be the sound recording though ...

[familypaladin]

I know of two, both available through Hichey's out of New York. One is arranged by A.P. Taylor and the other is by Costa Rico Trombone. Six of one, half a dozen of the other ... and both are under $40.00 US. I'm not sure which one this might be.

[SecretOctopus]

amazing!!

[TonniHelle]

Sounds good boys!

[trombonethjameth]

yeah guys!
