Lou Harrison wrote _Alma Redemptoris Mater_ for Harp and
Trombone. There's another trombone piece, I seem to remember... titled
something like _Tom's Tune_

Anyone know what the name of that piece really is?

Where can I get it?

There is Pied Beauty for baritone voice, trombone or cello, flute,
percussion, currently unpublished I believe. He has trombones in orchestras
and larger chamber ensembles, but that's about it.

In Simfony in Free Style, Lou Harrison has the trombone play a single whole
note, twice in the composition.

Didn't Harrison also write something like "Processional", for
trombones and percussion (and maybe flutes?)? I know somewhere in my
file cabinets (which seem to ignoring the "file"-ing part!) it's in
there, an Edition Peters publication if I remember semi-correctly.

Cheers,
Jon

A Joyous Proession and a Solemn Procession (1962) is for chorus, trombones,
tambourines, gong, handbells, and bass drum. While we're at it, trombones
are prominent in the orchestral Four Strict Songs (1955) and Concerto for
Piano and Selected Orchestra (1985). They are also used in Pacifika Rondo
(1963), and Peace Piece One (1968). The trombone used in At the Tomb of
Charles Ives (1963) that Kraig mentioned is an alto trombone.

Thanks, Bill, that's the piece(s) I was thinking about. I've always
wanted to do them, *as* processions!

Cheers,
Jon
