Product Details


Product Description

The "Evening-Watch" was written in 1925, when Holst lived in Thaxted, England

having had to temporarily leave his teaching duties because of overwork and illness. This setting of Henry Vaughans Dialogue between the Body and the Soul was too 

austere for listeners of its day and it remained out of print for thirty years, until 1965. Its mood of calm strength and passionate resignation sounds as if it belongs to the 1960s. 

This beautiful arrangement for 8-part trombone choir by Ronald Baron seems altogether appropriate given the instruments vocal character, its frequent use for music at funerals and Holsts other musical passion; his short career as a trombonist.

The 4 minute piece is appropriate for moderately advanced performers.
