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.

Stephansdom is
a new composition,

St. Stephan's Cathedral
in central Vienna. Ryan

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
length is appropriate for
advanced performers.

Igor
Stravinsky's Round of the
Princesses (Ronde des
princesses) appears as
scene ten in the 1910
ballet score. In the
composer's popular Suite
this beautiful lyrical
movement appears just
before the explosive
Katchai
dance.
This
arrangement of about 6
minutes in length by
Randall Malmstrom
wonderfully exploits the
smooth lyrical playing of
the performers.
