BIG(MAN vs. MACHINE)FOR
TROMBONE AND
PIANOInspired by the tale
of the legendary hero,
Adolphus
Hailstork’s
tour-de-force for
trombone and piano is a
riveting portrayal of the
steely strength and
stamina of John Henry, a
former slave who helped
build the American
railroads and ultimately
outperformed a steam
engine. PROGRAM NOTES
by the ComposerJohn Henry
was born a slave in the
1840’s or
1850’s. It is
important to remember
that no one knows for
sure if John Henry
existed or is a tall tale
created by writers. That
is one of the things that
makes the legend so
intriguing.According to
the legend, he grew to
stand 6 feet tall, 200
pounds – a giant
in that day.Though the
story of John Henry
sounds like the
quintessential tall tale,
it is certainly based, at
least in part, on
historical circumstance.
There are disputes as to
where the legend
originates. Some place
John Henry in West
Virginia, while recent
research suggests
Alabama. Still, all share
a similar back-story.In
order to construct the
railroads, companies
hired thousands of men to
smooth out terrain and
cut through obstacles
that stood in the way of
the proposed tracks. One
such chore that figures
heavily into some of the
earliest John Henry
ballads is the blasting
of the Big Bend Tunnel,
more than a mile straight
through a mountain in
West
Virginia.Steel-drivinâ
™ men like John Henry
used large hammers and
stakes to pound holes
into the rock, which were
were then filled with
explosives that would
blast a cavity deeper and
deeper into the mountain.
In the folk ballads, the
central event took place
under such conditions.
Eager to reduce costs and
speed up progress, some
tunnel engineers were
using steam drills to
power their way into the
rock. According to the
great American tall
tales, on hearing of the
machine, John Henry
challenged the steam
drill to a contest. He
won, but died of
exhaustion, his life cut
short by his own
superhuman effort.This
composition uses quotes
from the spiritual Every
Time I Feel the Spirit
and the folk song The
Ballad of John Henry.JOHN
HENRY’S BIG was

David Jackson.

occurred to me when a

had toured monuments in
that city on Memorial

had already written what
I call a “noble,

trombone to serve as the
main theme in the

created on that date

Granados was a
Spanish composer whose
music had the unique
style of his homeland
burned into his soul. He
was also a very talented
painter in the style of
Goya.
The Two Dances,
1. Oriental and 2.
Fandango are taken from
the 12 danzas espanolas,
volume I from 1890, for
Piano.
Mr. Sauer has
brilliantly taken the
solo Piano part and
divided it between solo
Trombone and
Piano.
Trombonists will
enjoy working on this
style of Spanish
Nationalist music of
which there is none in
the solo
repertoire.
The Two
Dances (in tenor clef)
are about 6 1/2 minutes
in length and can be
performed by advanced
musicians.
The mp3
sample is an excerpt of
the Bass Trombone version
taken from a live
performance at the 2012
Academy of the West
Festival performed by
David Hagee and Luis
Ortiz, Pianist.
