Lament for
Trombone and Organ by
composer Jeremy Niles
Kempton is a serious and
lyrical work of about 6
minutes in length for
advanced
performers.
The
original version is for
trombone and string
orchestra. It was
composed and performed
within a 2 week period at
a memorial concert given
for Helen Manheim, a
violist in Mr. Kempton's
Island Chamber Symphony
on Long Island, NY. Ms
Manheim died rather
suddenly and her passing
left the composer with a
deep feeling of regret at
having taken her and so
many other ICS musicians
for granted.
The
piece consists of 3
lengthy phrases. The
first epitomizes the
grief at her passing. The
2nd presents her life and
consists of 3 phrases,
all starting the same but
each striving higher. The
final section is her
legacy, what she leaves
behind. Orchestral score
and parts are available
form Cherry
Classics.
The
live performance features
Mr. Kempton on the
trombone.
