This five-movement work for piano, string quintet, oboe, horn, mezzo and soprano soloists, and SATB choir was commissioned in 2020 by Gary Packwood, director of choral studies at Mississippi State University, and dedicated to the Mississippi State University State Singers for the opening of the new music building. The piece is based on Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood by the English Romantic poet William Wordsworth. These writings, along with others, represent the greatest lyrics of his maturity. In these poems Wordsworth presents a fully developed yet morally flexible picture of the relationship between human beings and the natural world. When Wordsworth completed this work in 1804, he called it simply Ode, and the poem carried this title when it was published in 1807. In 1815, when the poem was republished, Wordsworth expanded the title to Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood. Intimations means hints, inklings, or indirect suggestions. Track Listing: Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood The glory and freshness of a dream Ye blessed creatures, I have heard the call Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting Full soon thy Soul shall have her earthly freight Of the eternal silence A cappella works by Michael John Trotta Justitiae Domini Ubi Caritas Dies Irae.

In the spring of 2010, University of Arizona Associate Professor of Music Kelly Thomas invited me to join him in designing a project that would result in a new and challenging large-scale work for the euphonium repertoire. I eagerly accepted; and after tossing around a number of ideas, we decided that a double concerto for euphonium and tuba with wind ensemble accompaniment would not only be great fun to put together, but also would contribute significantly to the growing repertoire of new music designed specifically to show off the virtuoso capabilities of these two low brass instruments. Movement I, Playground, needs little description beyond its title. Together, the two solo instruments make their way through a relentless maze of technical challenges (imagine seesaws, sliding boards, swing sets, obstacle courses, and trampolines) accompanied by the wind ensemble, which is faced with its own insistent array of fun and games. Movement II, Passage, is best described as the recollection of a journey -- as though the two soloists have returned from a noble quest and are recounting their adventures. Unique to this movement is the challenging role played by the ensemble's two euphoniumists and two tubists -- the instrumentation commonly referred to as a tuba quartet. One might easily imagine that this tuba quartet has accompanied the soloists on their journey, as they are featured prominently in the movement supporting the soloists' unfolding narrative; and twice, all six instruments briefly join forces to present unaccompanied triple two-voice canons -- just think Frere Jacques on steroids, played by three euphoniums and three tubas. Like the title to the first movement, the title to movement III, Sprint, speaks for itself. The music is based on materials from a previous work originally scored for tuba quartet, called Etude/Attitude, and is a breathless, high-energy romp from beginning to end.
