Trombone Duet Trombone - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1287890 Composed by Marcos Fernandez-Barrero. 21st Century,Chamber,Classical,Contemporary,Film/TV. Score. 12 pages. Marcos Fernandez-Barrero #878977. Published by Marcos Fernandez-Barrero (A0.1287890). Written for the pupils of the chamber music course at the Conservatoire of Barcelona (Conservatori Municipal de MÃºsica de Barcelona).Â The work evokes the several steps experienced in the process of self-reflecting, where one looks inward and examines his own emotional responses and behaviours to a given input, idea, decision, thought, etc.The scoring challenges both performers to interact to each other and negotiate the musical material; sometimes by passing the main thematic ideas on to each other, other times by build it together and other times to influence and alter each other. All of it so both sound sources melt into one single musical discourse which evolves and transforms every so often, as if mimicking the multiple decisions and thoughts one can take during a self-reflecting process.The motivation behind the composition of this work lies in the need to offer a repertoire with the demands and challenges present in the repertoire used in exam boards and conservatories but with a modern use of harmony and melody such as the one we can hear on television or in the cinema. So the harmonic language, the form, the compositional techniques and the use of rhythm, melody and articulation in this work presents a blend a current style present in American film music, television, musicals, Jazz or minimalism (with influences from composers such as Ludovico Einaudi, Yann Tiersen, John Williams, Michael Nyman, or Hans Zimmer) with the type of writing, thematic treatment, piano technique and musical form found in the classical chamber music repertoire.Â Approximate duration: 3 mins.Written in Barcelona on April 2023.
