Buonamente Sonata a 6 for Two Violins, Four Trombones and Tuba
Sonata a 6
Giovanni Battista Buonamente (ca. 1595-1642)
Arranged by Joseph M. Chopp
Are you interested in early music? This piece is for you! Giovanni Battista Buonamente was an Italian composer during the early Baroque period in music.
The original sonata was written for two violins, four trombones and basso continuo (probably played on organ). Our arrangement adds a tuba part, allowing you to perform without a keyboard.
The trombone parts were meant to be performed on sackbuts, but if you don't have those available your trombonists can simply play with a light touch. You might also place the violins in front for balance.
The tuba part could be performed on serpent, ophicleide, or cimbasso, adding to the fun.
There is a substitute Horn (F) part provided for Trombone 1 (Alto).
