Hey everyone,

I'm a interested in doing research on orchestral excerpts as part of my preparation for college auditions. I wanted to see what everyone's suggested resources were would be for trying to learn as much about the intricacies of the excerpts as possible. These resources could be articles, videos or recordings that are considered quintessential. I'm looking for a more general answer, but the specific the excerpts I'm interested in researching are Bolero, Mozart's Requiem, La Gazza Ladra, Mahler 3, Russian Easter Overture, Saint-Saens Symph. No. 3.

And The 100 book for your instrument, Tenor or bass.

Search YouTube for the orchestral excerpt classes from the Southeastern Trombone Symposium. You'll hear the excerpts played by players including members of the NY Philharmonic, Atlanta Symphony, and more. Great to just hear them played on their own. Also, Ralph Sauer recorded two CD's of excerpts with his own spoken performance notes - kind of like an audio version of the 100.
