My brother played the trombone from age 8 to his death at 71. He taught and composed both, and I always think of him when I hear brass--especially trombones.
the trombone choir is gods gift to the world... nothing else compares to the beautiful and warm sound of a trombone... i fell in love with this piece immediately after listening to it played on trombone.. thank you for this...
I assume by your love of the trombone that you are aqcuainted with the music of Giovanni Gabrieli and the Vespro della Beata Vergine by Claudio Monteverdi, so you will know the beauty of the renaissance/early baroque trombone or sackbut as it is called in English. Thank you most kindly for your beautiful message, best wishes from the Netherlands.
The Trombone Choir is beautiful for this piece. Since you love this...you might really like this other arrangement....czcams.com/video/MDE0LuefPjw/video.html
This reminds me so much of playing (on trombone myself) hymn arrangements in A grade brass bands in Australia back in the 1980s. These brass arrangements of choir SATB pieces were meant as exercises or showpieces in ensemble, balance and intonation. Now I sing this motet in a small choir. It has a very broad appeal. Note the particular dissonance at 3:22. on the word "Virgo", which chord is meant to signify the grief of the blessed Virgin Mary at the apprehended death of her son Jesus.
Just when I thought that this piece couldn't get any more stunning... you all brought me to tears. Beautiful performance. Trombone makes everything better. Thank you. Where can I get this arrangement?
I heard the regular choir version of this piece, youtubed it and then the standard brass choir version, and then... THIS. I'm transported. This is sheer ethereal harmonic glory.
I first sang this song as a junior in high school as past of my choir's spring concert. It has always been a favorite of mine, both to listen to and sing. It's so powerful in its reverence, so majestic in its simplicity. I have never heard this song performed by a brass instrument, let alone a whole group of them, but this was incredible! Thank you for sharing!
Agreed! I saw the Trombody Peabones (8 trombones) perform this piece yesterday at Peabody's Thursday Recital series. It was so beautiful the tears just rolled down my cheeks. I just had to hear it gain and that's what bring me here today.
I only wish they had a tuba playing the bass part at 4:00 . . . It just would have given so much more chillz to have the all consuming bass . . . This is fantastic though . . . Makes me jealous with every aspect of life . . .
Thank you. I have listened to your performance many times and will listen to your performance many times until Candlemass. Best wishes from the Netherlands.
I have sung this song in choirs and I can tell you this is the best arrangement and interpretation/performance by an instrumental ensemble of this work outside of its original intent. Well done to all!! I am a clarintetist btw.
I've watched this at least 50 times since I stumbled across it a month ago. 4:16 brought tears to my eyes the first, second, third, fourth AND fifth time I listened to it. Someone commented on how this sounds like a song for a fallen hero, which, if there were no lyrics, this would be most appropriate for...
Kind of what I was thinking. No other sound seems to mimic heaven and earth So much at the same time. Strips away the veils of illusion. ....time for another Guinness.
O great mystery and wonderful sacrament that even the animals saw the new-born Lord lying in a manger. Blessed Virgin, whose womb was worthy to bear our Lord Christ. Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with you. God The Father saw fit to have His Son born in humble circumstances to a spotless virgin, in a manger, in the presence of shepherds, in the night. He provided a new star that would guide the faithful believers to the sacred place. Some of the faithful arrived on animals; oxen, camels, and Mary and Joseph on a horse. These animals had a sense of the Mysterium... the great mystery, and it may have resounded in their hearts as this composer was prompted to relate.

I bought this recording off of I tunes from the Columbus State University Wind Ensemble that is other-worldly in its beauty.This version is also well done.

The birth, life, ministry, atonement, crucifixion, and resurrection are gifts to the believers.
I heard 10 Trombones do Freebird by Skynyrd once, spiritual!

I can't find words for this music...thank you M.Lauridsen!!! I' m feeling like in heaven. Perfect for "singing" trombones with such a sound

Phew. that final chord was spot on.
The ultimate response in this piece sings, "Ahh men". Amen

I feel like a hero being laid to rest when I lie in bed hearing this. I think of the good deeds I've done and feel content.
Jeffrey Stinson haha love this
Yes... nailed it... Tried fighting the tears but the climax got me...
Hear, hear!
all 3 of the good deeds you did... you didn't even last past the opening statement....
I'm afraid you've missed the point of this beautiful stunning piece. Read the lyrics.
I actually have played this piece with a tuba player as our helper. It's such beuaty to listen to.
Thank you. I have listened to your performance many times and will listen to your performance many times until Candlemass. Best wishes from the Netherlands.
Fantastici meraviglia pura.
I listen to this all the time. I am a music educator, and this is one of my favorite songs. You all are amazing.
Such saccharine sweet love doth pour from their instruments
Such feelings of yearning and longing doth flow from mine soul
Wow, how have I missed this one. One of my favorite brass tunes. OUTSTANDING!
I feel lifted to a higher ground. Thanks for the exquisite music! Moving. Sincere. Great job!
Beautiful! I'm a 2005 graduate. Way to represent!
I have sung this song in choirs and I can tell you this is the best arrangement and interpretation/performance by an instrumental ensemble of this work outside of its original intent. Well done to all!! I am a clarintetist btw.
pohsiBRD our clarinet choir just did a version of it!
Li, fantastic job. You are destined for great things.
Phenomenal Musicianship. Very Beautiful
--Music by Morten Lauridsen (1943 - present) There are words to the piece as well.
You guys are making me feel like I went to the wrong school :)
Love the trombone section in this one
I enjoyed your performance!
Beautifully done.

Cool
It reminds me of John William's score for Saving Private Ryan
Awesome job to everyone in this! I'm a trumpet player, but trombones just sounds so smooth
I agree with you. I'm a trumpet player also. :-)
Hey man, we’re just playing slide trumpets 😉

The Texas Tornados play this with accordions and it's magnificent!!!
wonderful and great playing :-)
Am speechless at this performance in 2019!
Glad to see the studio still sounds outstanding! Keep on playing, guys!

C'est très beau, un grand merci!

I bought this recording off of I tunes from the Columbus State University Wind Ensemble that is other-worldly in its beauty.This version is also well done.
sounds way better than when i played it in my community band
Ive never seen so many trombones in one place!
The False Rabbi You should see my marching band. I think 30 trombones next year.
try the international trombone convention
I wish the trombones in my band were as good as even one of these players
it takes loads of practice. trombone isn't very easy to play well.
brody bergstrom we had one trombone that was REALLY good. But that was two years ago, and now we have like 6 trombones who are really bad
Sublime
sublime
Beautiful! I have listened 4 times so far. Where i can get the arrangement?
beautiful
this is the best I've ever heard this song
Wonder how you got the opportunity to arrange this is all.
Does anyone know where I can get this arrangement??
Can you guys do Hymn to a Blue Hour?
Well, how about that
Would it be possible to get the sheet music for this?
Yes I have it. Brassplus@xtra.co.nz
