Donald Pinson & Damin Spritzer - Fantasia: Music for Trombone & Organ (2017)

The association of the trombone with liturgical music dates back longer than 400 years, yet this pairing of the solo trombone with the organ, long-standing centerpiece of church music, remains a bit of an anomaly. With its vocal quality and wide dynamic range, however, the trombone makes an ideal partner for the “king of wind instruments.” In the tradition of the free-form musical fantasia, we present to you this collection of our favorite compositions for trombone and organ, demonstrating the wide-ranging musical possibilities of these two instruments, and showcasing a variety of colors possible with the newly installed Nichols & Simpson organ.
