I know you play everything with a cupped mouthpiece, and organ, and who knows what you're playing besides that, but imho you are essentially a trombonist. You have the feel for that instrument that not every euphonium or tenor horn player has. You sound nice as a section, too. I say this not as a brass player - which I am not except for a bit of hobby trumpeting - but as an educated musician, also multi-instrumentalist. :) I'm a Fan of your channel!
Good recording. Timing is pretty good with the earbuds and the intonation is great because of that tuner (which is pretty essential for this instrument in this scenario of recording style). I'm not sure if everyone realizes, it is much different playing each track individually without hearing anyone else; adjusting a note on the fly with a group to have more correct tuning for the chord structure, and having to keep in time without a conductor or just by listening to others like with tuning, not to even mention the volume of the playing having to be fairly consistent between each track. For me personally, these recordings are hard to do perfectly without some minor editing, but yours is very nice such as each of your other ones. Thank you.
Pointers: First, if you're going to play all the way through as in this video, record video of yourself conducting the piece, and then play that video instead of using a click track. If you're just doing an audio recording, ignore that advice and do a few bars at a time, splicing everything together afterward. Second, record the bottom voice first. Pipe that track back through your headphones so you do get the intonation for the next track, then pipe all of that back through your headphones for the third track, and so on. Third, don't be afraid to throw away takes that have chipped notes, notes that didn't speak, bad intonation, misplaced cutoffs, whatever. Unless you're on a deadline, you have as much time as you want--especially if the piece is as short as this one!
its actually tenor clef, not alto. tenor clef is used on higher parts on trombone and bassoon to not have so many ledger lines above the bass clef while also not going into treble clef
Just a thought to improve your videos Trent, try articulating your notes better? Seems to me like you're slurring most and would sound better if you didn't. Just a thought.
that last Db on the bass trombone 😩😩😩
Why the sad face?
Trent Hamilton it's not a sad face it's supposed to be the face when something is just so good. like relieving. or satisfying
Ooooh right. It looks like a sad face.
Awesome piece! You should consider playing Salvation is Created. Its another beautiful piece i’m sure you would enjoy.
Sounding great on that old Besson trombone, Trent!

Thank you for your kind words, I really appreciate it :)
Love that final chord! Especially that low pedal Db! Lovely!

Nice work Trent!
Nice. This just made my day.
Я люблю этот😍
I knew the Russians came
Could i have the sheet music for this? Beautifully played btw!
Can you do this on trumpet? Please
138 views and only 19 likes, what the heck this is amazing
I like it want to do it, with different horns please tell all.
i did a similar arrangement but for a brass quintet. Instead of making it faster, I made a lot of cuts to it, but trying to keep the important bits.
Do you have a recording of it?
No, I do not sadly.
However, I do have the score of it on my musescore
Sounds great. How do you record that?
Trent I'm wondering, why does the trombone need to the tenor clef range on this? I'm a tenor sax player so I don't know how that works :P
It doesn't need it, but it helps reduce the number of ledger lines. Although I'm regretting having the music so small.
Sheet music?????
Wow. *All those odd time sigs.*
Why is the top trombone part in alto clef?
its actually tenor clef, not alto. tenor clef is used on higher parts on trombone and bassoon to not have so many ledger lines above the bass clef while also not going into treble clef
Did you upgrade your microphone?
I use a Shure PG42USB
Trent Hamilton it's a tremendous improvement

In my opinion, this piece sounds much better slightly slurred, it gives it a more emotional and relaxing tone, but then again that's just my opinion.
