My take on Funiculi Funicula

This is a trombone quartet arrangement of Funiculi Funicula I did for a quartet that I founded and play in regularly.

I come from a small town, about 3600 people. This was first performed (only performed, yet) at an old, log cabin-ish, bar and restaurant way out in the middle of nowhere in Northern Minnesota. It was our city band's end of the year banquet and we usually have a skit or something after supper. So we did this. We got fantastic feedback, even a standing ovation; I was just...floored. lol.

So yeah, this is Funiculi, Funicula.

Well, I didn't have the finale file, so that'll have to do. It's in the playlist at the top.

Ah, here it is.

nothing?

nothing at all?

It's catchy. It's like hearing some metal instrumental on trumpet with a jazz twyst. The begining was by far my favorite part. I thought you were going to do phase music and I thought to myself I gotta hear this, but it ended up being just catchy. I really like the transition to F Dorian (did I get this right?) also. On the technical side you should really switch to Tenor Cleff for some of those Trombone 1 and 2 parts. Every Trombonist I meet prefers it cause they hate ledger lines.
