    I've popped the sheet music up on Musescore:
    Bass clef: musescore.com/...
    Bb Treble clef: musescore.com/...
    Transcribed with my ears, hopefully no mistakes, maybe one day I'll transcribe all the other parts too.

    I cried listening to this - My middle school band director, Joe McCreary, just died due to complications with cancer. Before this, I had always toyed with the idea of going to college for music education, but last second decided to go after culinary arts instead. I don't know if you are in the faith, but I begged God for a sign of my path. That day, walking into my last high school concert (a fundraiser for the same man and his family), we were given the news of his death. It tore my heart to shreds, but I know now what I'm meant to do. I just graduated high school, and am starting to take the steps to follow my dreams. I play Trombone, and always have - Joe was a father figure, a mentor, and an absolute inspiration to me and many others. I hope I made him proud while he was here, and I pray I'll continue to make him proud in all that I do. I love your channel, and I practice and learn the songs you offer to better myself as a musician. Music connects people, it changes lives. Thank you for all you do, and thank you for being the biggest current source of my practices.

    No words to describe that...perhaps a few boxes of Kleenex will do the trick? My dad tried his best to get me to play the 'bone, and my band director even said I was a natural for it...I didn't go that direction - headed towards woodwinds. My dad passed away about a year ago, and now I understand his love for this instrument. Thanks for the post, and for a wonderful trip back in time. 🥰

    I believe in measure 11, the D flat should be on beat 4 instead of the up beat of 3. This kind of threw off the next few measures in the score like when the F is supposed to start on beat 4. But it does get back on the beat in measure 14.

  • @philosophicallyspeaking6463
    @philosophicallyspeaking6463 9 месяцев назад

    I like Marshall's playing for one reason: there are lots of players who excel at various aspects of technique, but only a few that transcend it to overcome the supposedly, and then 'proposed;y ' (by trombonists) insurmountable...'awkwardness' of the trombone's mechanics to make 'music' that 'non' trombonists could actually listen to and enjoy, without too soon cringing at the musical compromises made by trombonists as it were...obligation. Eventually, the 'methods' of the few will stop being referred to as unobtainable virtuosity unique to them, and be taken up instead as common practice, or the trombone will remain...the trombone.
    The bar 'then' having been moved, the trombone will finally stand shoulder to shoulder with other instruments that long ago developed...'work-arounds' for the mechanical difficulties associated with their instrument. When 'orchestral' players stop martyring the music to win the excess volume and a supposed obligation to a consistency of tone that no other instrument cares about in context of a moving line that limits their musical fluency, by practicing, perfecting, and employing natural slurs and extreme alternate positions, they might come to be worth listening to.

      Interesting... I listened to it so many times and wasn't 100% sure. I heard it as a small pause and then the bass trombone part coming in on the one of each bar. You could well be right but I'd be really curious to find out for sure.

    • @TubaTones
      @TubaTones 2 года назад +1

      @@KyleRaftery I understand completely how that can happen as I’ve made some transcriptions myself, but now listening back a few more times, also clicking my fingers along with 2 and 4 and keeping the groove during the bars in question. For me, the downbeat in the bass trombone is most definitely silent because the melody is leading the 1 and 3 in those bars. Would have a very different feel if the bass was also driving the 1 and 3 beats.
