Concertino from Quest, Op. 11b

  • for solo trombone and orchestra

  • ca. 8:00

Program Notes

  • Writing music is like creating abstract stories or movies; the various melodies and motifs are individual characters while the accompaniments are different settings where these characters develop and interact with one another. As a very visual person, I tend to form images in my mind whenever I’m creating music. As my compositions develop and unfold over time, my mind connects the various melodies and different sections in a way that (to me) makes sense as a cohesive narrative. This concertino is a dark and magical journey through mystical lands that ends in a virtuosic dance.

  • This adaptation of the third movement from Quest, Op. 11 for solo trombone and orchestra is in dedication to Zoltan Kiss for his performance with the Polish Philharmonic Orchestra on August 21, 2024 in Kalisz, Poland.
