Description
“Barcarolle” is a lyrical and deeply expressive Bass Trombone solo, composed by Larry Wolfe specifically for the legendary soloist Douglas Yeo. This work breaks away from the stereotypical “low and loud” bass trombone repertoire, instead focusing on the instrument’s surprising capacity for beauty and “singing” lines. Larry Wolfe creates a gentle, swaying accompaniment that allows the soloist to display a warm, rich tone and smooth legato phrasing. This is a professional and sophisticated solo choice, perfect for showcasing the melodic side of the Bass Trombone in a concert setting. It remains a significant and cherished addition to the instrument’s solo literature.
