Massenet/Bassett: Meditation from Thais for Bass Trombone and Piano (PDF)

The story follows the life of Thaïs and the monk Athanaël who has come to convince her to renounce her previously sinful life. She is driven into hysterics by the monk's words, seeing emptiness in her life and the approach of old age, until she collapses. The famous Meditation that follows her collapse musically depicts her conversion to a life of purity. 

Arranged by Chris Bassett, Bass Trombonist of the Jacksonville Symphon
