MONUM
ENTS was commissioned by
the Resonate project, a
collaboration of the
Detroit Chamber Winds &
Strings, Bowling Green
State University, the
Carr Center, Michigan
State University, Oberlin
College Conservatory, the
University of Michigan,
and Western Michigan
University.The trombone
part was written for
David Jackson, professor
of trombone at the
University of
Michigan.The title
occurred to me when a
friend living in
Philadelphia told me she
had toured monuments in
that city on Memorial
Day, 2021. By that time I
had already written what
I call a “noble,
lyrical melody†for
trombone to serve as the
main theme in the
composition.MONUMENTS was
finished on September 11,
2021. Other awesome
monuments had been
created on that date
twenty years
before.–Adolphus
Hailstork.
