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.

Entrance of the
Gladiators is a military
march composed in 1897
and soon after was also
subtitled Thunder and
Blazes. It has become a
legendary screamer march
for circuses to introduce
the clowns.
The
march is in three
sections with some very
lyrical moments followed
by the chromatic break
section featuring the low
brass. The final trio
section is also lyrical
and chromatic at the same
time. When played as a
screamer the tempo is
often taken to
extremes.
Wes
Ballenger has done an
amazing job of arranging
this famous march for a
virtuosic Trombone
quintet.
Composed by Gustav Holst.
Arranged by Ronald
Barron. 20th Century
British. Score and parts.

The
Evening-Watch was written
in 1925, when Holst lived
in Thaxted, England
having had to
temporarily leave his
teaching duties because
of overwork and illness.
This setting of Henry
Vaughan's
‘Dialogue
between the Body and the
Soul' was too
austere for
listeners of its day and
it remained out of print
for thirty years, until
1965. Its mood of calm
strength and passionate
resignation sounds as if
it belongs to the 1960's.
This
beautiful arrangement for
8-part trombone choir by
Ronald Baron seems
altogether appropriate
given the instrument's
vocal character, its
frequent use for music at
funerals and Holst's
other musical passion;
his short career as a
trombonist.
The
4 minute piece is
appropriate for
moderately advanced
performers.
