librettist

Premiere by the Guidonian Hand on June 18th on Music with a View at the Flea Theater.

"Music for 4 Trombones" is a sonic exploration. The 4 trombones play together in canons with subtle ever-changing poly-rhythmic inter-relations. The music builds up and up, it settles for an otherworldly calm elegiac song, and then it falls to its end. It was written as a part of Alex Weiser's 2012-2013 Composer-in-Residence position with the Guidonian Hand
