Morceau Symphonique Alexandre Guilmant
(1837-1911) Beginning of piece Guilmant was a French organist, teacher, composer, and editor. His early and unrelenting regime of practicing and composing led him to a position as organist at age 16, and his Messe Solemnelle in F was performed just two years later. Guilmant spent much time editing and publishing works of other composers, and his own music was greatly influenced by the likes of Liszt, Schumann, Franck and Saint-Saens. He concertized throughout Europe, Britain, and America, later becoming professor of organ at the Paris Conservatory, where he taught until his death.
End of Piece Most noted for his 8 organ sonatas and 2 organ symphonies, his Morceau Symphonique for trombone and piano was presumably composed as a contest piece for the Paris Conservatory. Thanks to its beautiful phrases and exciting allegro theme, it is a perennial favorite in the trombone repertoire. Lenthe has arranged this piece for trombone and brass quartet (2 trumpets, horn, & tuba), which he has also recorded on Marcophon CD 952-2. This arrangement is available from ~carlNotes~.
