The Running Shark: Thanks for the comments. The Eastman Trombone Choir and Professors Zalkind and Kellogg are fantastic to work with. You also might check out Larry Zalkind's channel at ruclips.net/user/lrbmaz1. My personal favorite is the "Lost in the Stars" album he did with Deborah Shulman. Soooo smooth.
Thank you for taking the time to view and listen. The Eastman Trombone Choir and its leaders, Larry Zalkind and Mark Kellogg, are marvelous, gifted artists.
Wow, this is the best concert version of Edelman’s score I’ve heard and I saw this film in theaters when it first came out. Incredible performance of the battle theme. Imagine some strings and percussion to go along with it! 🔥Bravo to everyone involved here. Blown away by your talents.
Thanks, mikey8088. I'm glad the work resonated with you. Prof. Larry Zalkind and the Eastman Trombone Choir did an incredible job with that world premiere performance. For my part, it was a joy to create the piece for them from that terrific score. If you're interested, all Eastman Trombone Choir concerts are livestreamed at www.esm.rochester.edu/live/. --PFS
@@petestrohm I like that it wasn’t a direct cover of the piece, but you added your own composition to it. Is the score available for other trombone choirs?
@@Arthur-hg7ny @James Decker It's available as performed from JW Pepper at www.jwpepper.com/11132312.item#/submit. I'm just finishing an updated edition. You can reach me at info@petestrohm.com for details.
Interesting you say that. The early drafts did include percussion, but ultimately I decided to do everything with the trombones. The rhythmic figures that occur in all eight parts throughout the work are just enough to give the necessary momentum, I think.
Thank you, Jay. For more great sounds, you can watch the Eastman Trombone Choir this Friday at 7:30 EST on Eastman Live, their performance streaming site (www.esm.rochester.edu/live/)!
As a Tromnone player for 20 plus yrs. How many of these guys are playing a Bass or trigger Trombone. I have looked. Not many. The Bass is what makes the band.
Masie, thanks for viewing and taking time to comment. I'm not sure what you're seeing, but as I recall there were either six or eight players on bass. The work has eight parts (six tenor, two bass), with multiple players on each part. They even added a contrabass (downstage right). Thanks, again, and I hope you enjoyed the piece!
Edelmann wrote such powerful music. This was a wonderful arrangement and was beautifully performed.

It's SO nice to hear the contra with this group...sounding like a trombone, not a tuba!
Agree, Scott. Credit to Larry Zalkind for using the contra to reinforce the bass trombone parts. Brilliant!
Beautiful. Great to see you conducting!

Beautiful piece! Great performance.
Jack: I was honored to have this storied group take interest in performing the piece. Check out their other videos as well.

Veramente bravi! Complimentissimi!!
Thank you!
Am I currently driving about the Gettysburg National Battlefield geeking out on this? You betcha! 👍
Kelley Shannon: Perfect!
Beautiful!
Glad you enjoyed the performance and the piece! Thanks for viewing!
Pete Strohm
This is beautiful...speaks to the heart and soul...
Italia Bionda: Thank you!
Pete, absolutely , stunning.
Thanks for the kind review! I'm indebted to Larry Zalkind, Mark Kellogg and the Eastman trombonists for the wonderful job of bringing it to life.

@@petestrohm Much appreciated. Did you ever consider adding percussion? I do see that trombone 5 and 6 have the percussive rhythm.

Great work, Peter. I miss our stage band days together and my failed attempt at being a flag person in your drum and bugle corp.
Thanks, Don. Great to hear from you!
Bravo, braaavoooo, beautiful.
Thanks for listening! Life speaks through music.
Amazing!

Pete, I just don't know. I think that it needed more cowbell.
Jim, but other than that it was OK?
@@petestrohm Was very impressed. Excellent!
