op. 87f, Power up the door

The forgotten tradition of blowing from the tower at Christmas time is experiencing a rebirth today thanks to various wind ensembles. In individual towns and villages, they blow from the tower at Christmas and New Year. Bertold Hummel composed 20 chorales for four trombones for these and other festive occasions around Christmas time. The arrangements are relatively easy to play, as Hummel wrote a simple movement and transferred it well to the trombones. He usually plays the parts in the middle register so that the instruments sound good.

This practical literature is well set for this quartet form and the keys are skilfully chosen. However, the 1st part requires a good wind player with a constant high register. The 4th part requires an instrument with a fourth valve or a high tuba ad lib. The playing material and score are exemplary. Easy to moderately difficult.

Bayerische Blasmusik , 10/89

They are intended as tower music: simply set chorally, without flourishes or ornamentation, without contrapuntal gimmicks - a homophonic movement that everyone enjoys listening to.
