The Concerto
Grosso for Three
Trombones and Orchestra
by Lyndol Mitchell was
composed in 1961 as part
of his Doctoral
dissertation at the
Eastman School of Music
and was first performed
in 1963 at a memorial
concert for the composer
after his untimely death.
The performers were six
students of Emory
Remington, including
Ralph Sauer and Don
King.
The work
is is subtitled in
stile Barocco> and is
in three movements.
Movement I
begins with an somber
introductory Adagio
followed by an Allegro in
the style of a Bach Fugue
led by the three
soloists.
Movement II is
a slow and serious
Larghetto in C
minor.
Movement
III is a Presto in D
minor in a Toccata style
and is full of many mixed
meter bars that add
little little rhythmic
surprises along the
way.
The
13-minute work is
appropriate for advanced
performers.
The
hand copied score and
parts Concerto Grosso
were rediscovered in the
Sibley Library at the
Eastman School of Music
by Jeremy Kempton who
then engraved and proofed
them. He performed the
work in 2011 with
colleagues for the first
time since its premier in
1963.
