The Caroling Book - 21 great Christmas Carols

The Caroling Book - 21 great Christmas Carols The Caroling Book for Trombone Trio is a wonderful collection of 21 great Christmas Carols and Songs that will keep the party hopping, the audience singing and the spirit soaring all night long. Arranged by L.A. Philharmonic Sonny Ausman (straight tunes) and retired Professor Steve Sample (swing tunes), the music is within reach of most intermediate to advanced performers. "Growing up in Bessemer, Alabama I spent many a cold winters night with my friends playing Christmas carols around the neighborhood and in remote locations on the front lawns of friends and relatives homes. It was great fun. There were usually only three of us. We just couldnt seem to enlist that one extra player. If we were lucky we had three Trombones, but sometime there was a Euphonium, Tenor Sax or Bari Sax substitute. Finding music was difficult. So we wrote arrangements taken from the hymn book and from other sources. This is the inspiration for this caroling book. I wanted to achieve two goals in compiling this set of carols: that there would be plenty of them and that they would be easily playable for most Trombonists - on cold December nights. With the help of my good friend, Steve Sample, I believe we have succeeded." Sonny Ausman So take the book out this Christmas season and have fun. And please "swing" on Steves arrangements.
