Hill
Country Miniatures for
8-part Trombone Ensemble
was written by Richard J.
Lawn in 2002 for the
Trombone Choir at the
University of Texas and
its director Nathaniel
Brickens. The work is
dedicated to Donald Knaub
its former director. It
has become a staple in
the American Trombone
Ensemble repertoire since
its original release. Mr.
Lawn explains in the
notes, his deep emotional
connection to the Hill
Country land and to his
days at the Eastman
School of Music, hearing
the legendary Trombone
Choir led by Emory
Remington and following
through to his days at
the University of Texas
with Knaub and Brickens,
all of which inspired him
to compose this work.
This music is about 15
minutes in length and is
for advanced performers.
The four movements of the
work are: Hickory Cove -
September 2001 - a
lyrical, somber and
solemn introductory
movement. Smithwick - a
jaunty piece reflecting
the Scottish and English
heritage of this tiny
Texas spot. The Narrows -
As part of the Colorado
River narrows, it twists
and turns its way through
the Texas Hill Country.
You can hear the gentle
waters winding through
the cliffs and slopes.
Blue Bonnet Boogie - The
springtime brings a
profusion of the Blue
Bonnet, the Texas state
flower. A sea of these
swaying in the breeze
brings out the good old
down-home boogie-woogie!
A jazz solo featuring
Bass Trombone (written
for Bill Reichenbach in
mind) with solo written
out or improvised using
chord symbols adds a
festive finish. Cherry
Classics is proud to be
the new distributor of
this great work.

Liebestod
(German for Love Death)
is the title of the
final, dramatic music
from the 1859 opera
Tristan and Isolde by
Richard Wagner. The music
is actually an aria that
Isolde sings over
Tristan's dead body
before she herself is
consumed in death.
The music is
lush, with rich harmonies
and undulating rhythms as
the agony of death is
also meshed with the
passion of
love.
Randall
Malmstrom has scored this
7-minute work for
Trombone octet of
advanced performers.

Henry
Wolking's The Best Dam
Trombone Quintet Ever may
just be! It is a fun,
feel-good piece to
perform and to listen to.
The undulating rhythms
and close harmonies
produce a pleasing mood
with a hint of a jazz
feel. The music gives you
a big hug. Here is a
description of the work
by the composer: In the
summer of 2017 my wife
and I moved to the Nevada
Dam town of Boulder City.
The town began as a
construction camp in
early 1930s for the
workers of the Boulder
Dam (later renamed the
Hoover Dam). The dam is
one of the worlds great
construction projects of
the 20th century and has
over a million yearly
visitors. My house is
less than ten minutes
away from the dam, and
because the dam in one
way or another affects
everyone living in this
unique Nevada town, my
newest trombone quintet
(composed in January
2018) is the best, well
you get the picture. It
is a high energy single
movement work inspired by
the Hoover Dam and Lake
Mead. Ranges are fairly
moderate with a high C#
in the first trombone at
the end. This is a fun
romp for five dam fine
trombonists. The 4 1/2
minute work is
appropriate for advanced
performers.
