"I wrote this piece for the Japan Tour 2007 for the brass quintet of the New York Philharmonic. I tried to draw a picture of music in Manhattan from early morning, the sunrise, at midday and late in the evening when when the city returned to calm ....... then "AIR OF MANHATTAN"!!!!!"
Nicola Ferro
A gentle, lyrical piece for trombone and harp accompaniment by Nicola Ferro. The melody can also be performed by viola, cello, bassoon or horn for a different effect.
As heard on "Take 9" Album. The most familiar of the Hungarian Dances arranged for eight horns. Loud, soft, high, low, straight, jazzy, this arrangement makes either a great opener or a great closer.
A classic melody that has long since established itself in the public ear! Nicola Ferro provides a wonderful arrangement of The Flight of the Bumblebee for solo trombone and chamber orchestra.
