Chorale and Alleluia was Howard Hanson's first work for symphonic band. The music is impressive, straightforward, and pleasingly non-dissonant. Its resonance and sonority are ideally suited to the medium of the modern symphonic band. Composer and arranger Noel Freeman has taken advantage of the rich and magnificent character of this essential work in adapting it in this setting for eight trombones.

One of the most exciting projects I worked on this year was developing a sample 4-year applied curriculum to help adjuncts and community colleges improve the ability of their students to successfully transfer to a traditional 4-year trombone program. We all know adjuncts don't normally get paid enough to develop curriculum, so this sample four-semester curriculum plan is available for FREE to anyone who wants to use it. It also contains a list of all the Texas Public University trombone program audition requirements and points of contact.

**Special thanks to Ben Osborne at SHSU School of Music who sponsored my work on this project. If you'd like to tailor it to your specific needs, contact me for an editable version.

We are excited to announce composer Noel Freeman's first original trombone octet, "Launchpad" has been named the 3rd place winner in the 2024 International Trombone Association Composition Contest. "Launchpad" is a fantastic adventure inspired by the marvel of space flight. It takes the listener on a journey that begins with sunrise over the cape, and out of this sunrise excitement builds as our craft makes its steady march to the pad. Just as we get a moment to hold our breath in anticipation, the power and awe of the launch take over as the craft soars toward the stars and enters orbit. Finally, we experience the triumphant return of the craft to Earth and celebrate a glorious mission accomplished. Get your copy today!

Admiral, there be whales here! We promised you an exciting new release this week, and here it is - the main title from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home arranged for symphonic band by Noel Freeman.

This iconic main title theme from Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home is sure to become an audience favorite at your next concert. The film's main theme, heard in the opening and closing credits includes a six-note statement, introduced as a theme and variations motif. It is a noticeable departure from the bold & brassy fanfares found in other Star Trek projects. The films credits music, with its A-B-A format, could easily be mistaken for a concert overture or other orchestra work, rather than movie music. Leonard Rosenman's score was well-received by critics and audiences, earning him an Academy Award nomination, one of four Oscar nominations for Star Trek IV. Rosenman's memorable score is one of the many elements that makes the one with the whales one of the most popular films in the Star Trek canon.

You'll be hard-pressed to find a standalone arrangement of this full main title theme that isn't part of a medley, so beam down your copy today and give your audience a whale of a good time!
