4. Chorale (Ludwig van Beethoven)
5. Wie ein Choral / Like a chorale (Anton Bruckner)

Notes:
FUNERAL MUSIC
Henry Purcell wrote extensive funeral music for the funeral of Queen Mary of England (in 1695). A part that is particularly suitable for our wind orchestra was selected for this edition. This composition, which can be used for All Saints Day, Remembrance Day and funerals, can be performed with or without percussion. If timpani is available, you should not add any other percussion. Performances without timpani, start at bar 5.

CHORALE
At the suggestion of bandmaster Franz Xaver Glöggl, Beethoven composed three chorales for four trombones for All Souls' Day in 1812. Despite their simplicity, these three pieces are so expressively grand that they should definitely be made accessible to a wide audience. For this edition, a particularly beautiful movement was selected and arranged for wind orchestra (including smaller wind ensembles). At Beethoven's own funeral in 1827, two of these pieces were performed in an arrangement for men's choir, which is why it seems legitimate to also publish the trombone quartet in a wind orchestra edition.

HOSTIAS / REQUIEM / LIKE A CHORALE
These three pieces are by Anton Bruckner. The first two are taken from REQUIEM, written in 1849, a largely unknown work that Bruckner wrote for mixed choir, strings and three trombones. The two selected parts are ideal for funeral ceremonies of all kinds and, despite their brevity, show the mastery of the then young Austrian composer.
The composition of the last piece, the title of which comes from the arranger and not from Bruckner, dates back five years further. Anton Bruckner wrote his small "Choral Mass" for four-part choir on Maundy Thursday in 1844 in Kronsdorf (Upper Austria). It is a first example of his sacred art and has long been popular with church choirs. In this edition, parts from the "Agnus Dei" have been used in a version for winds. Percussion should only be used with a large group. First trumpet, first trombone and timpani only play the cue notes when the ensemble is larger.
