==History==
The trombone is essentially the same instrument as the late medieval sackbut, an instrument which had a major role in the royal ceremonial bands of the day. Up until the late baroque period (mid-1700s) it appeared mainly as a vocal/choral accompaniment in masses and operas and rarely in purely instrumental works. With the death of [[Handel]] (1759) it was little used for a generation and when it reappeared, it was as the [[Italian]] “trombone”.
