Scherzo Caprice

Here’s something I’ve been toying with recently. It’s from a great little book of trombone quartets I’ve been playing recently — maybe a summer project for 2025?

Bach Chorale 57

I wanted to go back in time a bit for this one. In college, the trombone choir would play a lot of Bach Chorales. It’s a great workout and a beautiful experience. I picked a new one and tried it out here. Also wanted to see what I could do with audio simply picked up on my iPad, instead of using mics and an interface as I usually do.

Planning on recording more of these soon (with some quality mics and editing), and uploading four versions, each with one part missing. Students will be able to use these as playalongs, so keep checking back!
