This thesis covers the history of the trombone as used in the Paris Conservatoire, the Contests for Prizes at the same institution, as well as a brief history detailing the changes in compositional style in French art music from the classical era to twentieth century. The Contests for Prizes, or, Les Concours de Prix are competitions held yearly at the conservatoire, where all members performing on the same instrument compete for rankings. Prior to 1999, the winner of this contest would receive a Premier Prix, or first prize, and would thusly graduate from the institution. The latter half of this work involves original research meant to uncover which works from the Contests for Prizes remain relevant in the canon of repertoire played by trombonists in American universities and studios today. The focus of this research is to shed light on the works played today, and explain the qualities of these works that have kept them relevant.
