Bass trombone improvisation is optional (the changes are cross-cued into other parts). It is published by UNC Jazz Press.

Scott, The author of this review has no idea what she is talking about, in spite a PhD. For example, she has turned the chorus, the Kantorei Saarlouis, into the choir director! ("Choirmaster, Kantorei Saarlouis, exhibits excellent control over the choral properties here ..." ) Nevertheless, the Neukomm "edition" only concerns the conclusion of the Requiem. Normally, the Requiem ends with "Lux aeterna" to the music of the opening "Requiem aeternam" (starting at m. 19). For a performance in 1821, Neukomm composed a "Libera Me" to follow after the "Lux aeterna." This is apparently the first recording employing Neukomm's finale. For the rest of the recording, one of the usual editons (probably S?ssmayer's) was undoubtedly used. However, the reviewer was obviously unable to distinguish the sound of a trombone from that of a horn. You can listen to the opening of the Tuba mirum from the recording in question at: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000CCG21W/ref=nosim?tag=musicontheweb02&link_code=as3&creativeASIN=B000CCG21W&creative=373489&camp=211189 Definitely trombone.

I haven't played this particular chart by Eric Richards, but we have played a good number of his works over the last several years, and not a one has let us down. We have used them in local concerts, jazz festivals, and big promotion type events. Always well crafted and the excitement is there when it's called for... beauty when it's not. We opened the Texas Jazz Festival last year with Eric's "Crescent City Stomp", and it brought the house down! Besides UNC Jazz Press, Eric's music is also available from Alfred Publishers, C. L. Barnhouse, and directly from the composer. Besides writing for the U.S. Army Field Band, the Jazz Ambassadors, Eric has also written for the Boston Pops, the Airmen of Note, the Army Blues, the Navy Commodores, and the Dallas Wind Symphony, to name but a few. Moreover, he's a mighty fine trombonist on top of his writing skills.

Hey, I think I played that piece when I was in college! A couple days before the performance, the choir director called the student newspaper to make sure that they would publish an announcement of the concert. I don't know if it was the choir director's southern accent or the budding journalist's musical ignorance, but the morning of the concert there appeared the notice that the university chapel choir and orchestra would be performing the 4A Requiem.

Brevis. I had a similar experience several years ago when attending a concert by the Clovis Community Band. The band was playing some pretty good stuff, not at all what you'd expect from a community band. The announcer for the concert was one of the local DJ's from a radio station, and you should have heard what he announced! "Die Master Singer Leader" "The Survey With the Fringe on Top" etc... Seems like he messed up the Wagner name, too... I felt so bad for him -- my in laws were there with us, and every time the DJ would make an announcement, our whole group would just about roll on the ground laughing. I felt SO bad for him, but I still couldn't control my laughter!
