Program Notes
The dark yet valiant nature of the music of HBO’s hit television series House of the Dragon is now finally set for the low brass idiom, with a version of Protector of the Realm arranged for trombone choir and two percussionists. Composed by famed Game of Thrones composer Ramin Djawadi and originally set for strings, the beauty of Djawadi’s writing blends perfectly with the combined forces of trombone and percussion. This version of Protector of the Realm is arranged for eight trombone parts, timpani and bass drum, making a great companion piece for any collegiate or professional trombone choir!
