Marco Bordogni
Vocalises
The vocalises of Marco Bordogni have been cherished by generations of vocalists and instrumentalists. Perfect the art of legato and phrasing with these timeless studies. Joannes Rochut, principal trombone of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, transcribed them for trombone in 1928.
Cut for trombone, alto trombone, bass trombone: each edition moves every study into that instrument’s range and clef.
