Robert Timmers has beautifully arranged Johann Sebastian Bach's Complete Chorale Harmonizations for Trombone Quartet, Volume 3 (Chorales 282-434). This momentous collection of 434 Chorales in three volumes taken from Bach's 200-plus cantatas and other choral works is a gift to the Trombone world and a major addition to the repertoire of Trombone Ensembles. This collection is the first of its kind for the instrument.

The music is laid out in score format of two systems (tenor and bass clefs) and two coil-bound books of 71 pages are provided for the performers. (The download version is priced less to take into consideration the extra printing costs for 2-4 sets of parts.) Appropriate for moderately advanced performers, these chorales are great for working on tonal blend, intonation, style, and phrasing.

The digital sound sample below of Chorales 1-5 from Volume 1 will give you a good idea of the beauty of these arrangements for Trombone Quartet.

This collection has been dedicated to the late Steve Witser by arranger and former student, Robert Timmers.
