Tchaikovsky: Dances of the Swans

for Horn, Trombone, and Tuba

Grade: Intermediate/Advanced

This excerpt from Swan Lake is typically depicted by four dancers moving in perfect unison with arms linked, like cygnets in a protective formation. While this arrangement doesn’t call for perfect unison, it is a good vehicle for each of the instruments to perform different roles in the trio.

Also available for tuba quartet.
