Morceau De Lecture For Trombone And Piano-Alexandre Guilmant was one of the greatest representatives of the French Romantic organ school and composed almost exclusively for his instrument.A rare exception is this “Morceau symphonique” written in1902 for the Paris Conservatoire’s annual trombone class competition. The charming piece soon found its way into the repertoire – as did Saint-Saëns’s “Cavatine” (HN 1119) – and is todayamong the essential standard works of trombone literature.The “Morceau symphonique” is here offered in its first-ever Urtext edition based on the autograph and the first edition. We also offer here aparticularly special treat – the sight-reading piece that Guilmant wrote for the same competition which had until now slumbered in the archives and is here published for the very first time.

Love is All Around is a song that was recorded in 1967 by the English band The Troggs. In 1994 it was covered by the Scottish band Wet Wet Wet as part of the soundtrack to the film Four Weddings and a Funeral. This catchy version was an enormous hit which is still played a lot on the radio today. Arranger Seb Skelly too felt inspired and stirred by this romantic song, resulting in this brilliant arrangement for brass quintet that will appeal to players as well as listeners. A very suitable piece for all occasions that have to do with love!
