PLW, The Early Trombone :
Te Deum laudamus/Herr Gott! Dich loben wir: SSAATTBB, 3Tpt, Tpt/Ctto/Trb, 3Trb, Timp, Org
Remarks: The set of parts was accidentally separated; 1a N encompasses the full set of parts, while 1N contains duplicate parts for 3Tpt, 4Trb, Timp, and Org. There is no date on the latter. Tpt/Ctto/Trb part is entitled Trombone Canto oder Zug=Trompetn und Zincken. It is in treble clef, and has tr marked for trills, but as the highest note is c2, it could be played on an alto trombone. The piece is chorale-like (all half and whole notes with pauses at the ends of phrases). The Nachricht (Afterword) refers to the three trumpets and timpani.
