A Cornerstone of the Trombone Repertoire — Arranged for Concert Band by Marc Oliver

Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov (1844–1908) composed his Concerto for Trombone and Military Band in 1877, and it has become one of the most important and frequently performed works in the trombone solo repertoire. Written in a single movement, the concerto showcases the trombone’s full range of expression — from noble, singing lyricism to brilliant, virtuosic passagework — against a colorful wind band accompaniment. Rimsky-Korsakov’s deep knowledge of wind instruments, gained through his years as a naval officer and his study of orchestration, is evident throughout in the idiomatic and effective writing for both soloist and ensemble.

This edition presents the Trombone Concerto in a concert band arrangement by Marc Oliver. An essential work for any serious trombonist.
