Jupiter (Trombone Choir)

A faithful and authentic transcription of the fourth movement of Gustav Holst’s “The Planets: Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity” for trombone choir with nothing left out except for some of the faster runs. It is arranged in a “double quartet” format to cover all of the various back and forth moments that occur in the piece. The eight parts would ideally be performed with two players on each part, but they are still managable for smaller ensembles. First performed by the Brigham Young University Trombone Studio in Provo, UT.
