Nimrod,
the ninth variation from
Elgar's masterpiece Op.
36, Enigma Variations
(1898-99) is one of the
most recognized works in
the classical repertoire.
There are so many
adjectives to describe
this piece of genius:
stately, majestic,
serious, solemn, moving,
noble, languid, stoic,
enduring and sublime.
There are few works in
the repertoire that bring
forth such strong
emotions as this work,
which is often performed
for funerals and for
Memorial Day /
Remembrance Day services.
Mr. Malmstrom's
beautifully lush
arrangement is scored for
2 alto trombones
(optional), 3 tenor
trombones, 2 bass
trombones and 1
contrabass trombone
(optional). This
arrangement of 3-4

Stephansdom is
a new composition,
descriptive of the iconic
St. Stephan's Cathedral
in central Vienna. Ryan
Diefendorfer wrote this
work for the Indiana
University Trombone
Ensemble for Bass
Trombone solo and
Trombone Choir (6-part)
to be performed by Carl
Lenthe at the 2012
Eastern Music Festival.
Ryan's work was awarded
the winner of the 2012
Eastern Trombone Workshop
National Composition
Competition.
St.
Stephen's Cathedral, also
known as Stephansdom, is
one of Vienna's most
remarkable city icons.
Dating back to 1137,
Stephandsom towers above
the rest of Vienna's
skyline and has been a
constant presence in the
lives of the Viennese for
nearly one thousand
years. Among the
buildings that the
Viennese find closest to
their hearts, Stephansdom
is certainly one of
them
I.
Groundbreaking The
first movement depicts
the troubles that St.
Stephen's Cathedral had
in getting its
groundbreaking as a
church. The opening of
the piece marks the
celebration of the
Viennese when St.
Stephen's was first
constructed in 1137,
during the Romanesque
era. However, the church
faced many
issues—from being
destroyed by the
Babenberg Empire to being
decimated by a
fire—before the
church began its
construction in the
Gothic style in 1307. The
first movement depicts
these struggles before
resolving to an open
chord.
II.
Steffl Steffl, the
nickname for
Stephansdom's soaring
north tower, is one of
the characteristics of
the cathedral that the
Viennese find so
endearing. This movement
is very upbeat and is
meant to portray the
excitement shared by the
Viennese for this
beautiful addition to
Stephansdom, which was
completed in 1433.
Stephansdom's north tower
is the tallest structure
in Vienna, and distinctly
stands out within
Vienna's
skyline.
II
I. 1945 As World War
II was coming to a close
in 1945, Stephansdom's
roof caught fire from a
neighboring building,
destroying large portions
of the church. One climax
occurs at m.30, which
depicts Stephansdom's
great bell, the Pummerin,
crashing down to the
ground. This movement
depicts the chaotic
nature of the raging fire
of
1945.
IV.
Anton Pilgrim Anton
Pilgrim was the last, and
perhaps most beloved,
architect who worked on
St. Stephen's Cathedral
in the Gothic style. One
of his most famous
projects was the St.
Stephen's organ loft,
which is depicted by an
opening organ-like canon.
The final movement to the
piece ends in a
chorale-like fashion,
demonstrating the
Viennese's love for Anton
Pilgrim, as well as
Stephansdom, one of
Vienna's most iconic
sights.
This
work of 12 minutes in

Here is a
description of this
beautiful work by the
composer: Reflection and
Celebration for 8-part
Trombone Ensemble is a
musical homage to a man
who was revered for his
mentorship, musical
intellect and delightful
humor. The work opens
with a somber melodic
solo, capturing the noble
spirit of this great
mentor. Several
repetitive 5-note
ascending motives follow
which is a symbolic
reference to students
learning and
accomplishing under
Conklin's mentorship. The
bold fanfare style (in
measure 32) is presented
to capture the presence
and tall stature of
Conklin. Finally,
Conklin's down-to-earth
personality and his
infectious humor is
referenced (in measure
83). Even the fanfare
theme returns in a faster
tempo, thus highlighting
the frivolity,
lightheartedness, and
wisdom of this adored
music teacher. The music
is about 6 1/2 minutes in
length and is appropriate
for moderately advanced
performers.

Motet
Lobet den Herrn, BWV 230,

no known date of

Hallelujah. Mr. Sauer has
