Hi TromboneChat!
I'm new here, but I wanted to share the premiere performance of my piece for solo bass trombone and trombone quintet, Violent Shadows.
<YOUTUBE id="cwkJWqwdcM0">[media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwkJWqwdcM0</YOUTUBE>
Inspired by progressive rock (specifically Thank You Scientist), this piece showcases the different characters of the bass trombone - from the loud and aggressive side that we all know and love to the more pure and lyrical side. The solo and accompaniment parts primarily work in opposition to one another both rhythmically and harmonically until they learn to work together in the recap of the chorale section near the end.
I just finished writing a version for bass trombone and piano, which is now available for purchase on my website. https://hassmusic.com/solo/violentshadows/

This is really cool! There's a contemporary music festival every year at my college. Maybe I could play this with piano :D

Indiana state. We've had ewazen as a featured composer before back in 2012 I believe! It's really cool for being a no name college :D

No way, I'm actually going to be there this year for a performance of one of my sax quartets! If you end up performing this piece at the festival I'll come watch you!
