Reflections was composed for the Japanese Trombone Quartet Zipang. The composer was so impressed by the quality of the quartet’s ensemble playing, blend and balance that he wanted to write a piece that would exploit these factors to the full. So the work is almost ‘conversational’, with the four players assuming equal roles and separately moving the musical argument forward.

Reflections is na Tokyo Tryptich het tweede werk dat in opdracht van het Japanse trombonekwartet Zipang geschreven werd. Ge nspireerd door het uitgebalanceerde samenspel van de muzikanten, schreef Philip Sparke een werkwaarbij hij de nadruk legt op dit talent. Het werk is een dialoog tussen de volstrekt gelijkwaardige stemmen, een muzikaal debat waarin elk van de vier spelers zijn of haar mening mag geven.

Reflections ist nach Tokyo Tryptich das zweite Werk, das vom japanischen Posaunenquartett Zipang in Auftrag gegeben wurde. Begeistert vom ausgewogenen Zusammenspiel dieser Musiker, schrieb Philip Sparke ein Stück, das diese Fähigkeit besonders hervorheben sollte. So ist Reflections fast ein Dialog zwischen gleichberechtigten Stimmen, die in der musikalischen Debatte alle ihre eigene Meinung“ beisteuern dürfen.

The bottom part, which features a great Elephant style solo, can be performed on Tuba, Contrabass or Bass Trombone.

Jeff Reyolds has arranged a beautiful setting of the Saint-Saens Veni Creator Spiritus (Come Creator Spirit, a 9th Century Pentecost plainsong hymn) for 4-part Trombone Ensemble. The original work for TTBB men's chorus and optional Organ was written in 1858. Saint-Saens was a Roman Catholic Church organist in his early years and produced a volume of music that was easy to sing.
Mr. Reynolds calls this music Church Polyphonic style that came out of the late Renaissance and endured for a couple centuries into the Romantic period.
This work begins with a beautiful unison chant and moves into four polyphony sections concluding with a soft Amen.
The music is of moderate difficulty with the first part in tenor clef.
