Over the Waves (Sobre las Olas) in an arrangement for trombone with piano accompaniment. This melody is very much associated with the music of funfairs, trapeze artists and fairground organs and has even featured in the MGM film "The Great Caruso." Rosas was a Mexican composer and violinist who began his career as a street musician. After a visit to Cuba in 1894 he became very poorly and sadly died at the young age of 26. "Over the Waves" (Sobre las Olas) was published in Mexico in 1888 and has become one of the best known Latin American pieces and has been interpreted by many stylistically different types of performing groups. This waltz melody should be played at a tempo of around 60 dotted half notes or minim beats to the minute with a singing legato. Accompaniments are in place playing at 60, bpm and a trombone part is appended to the full score in the pdf sheet music download. This is an excellent piece to develop tonal quality over the playing range of the trombone.
