Program Notes
Concertino for Trombone and Band was composed in 1984 for the trombonist H. Dennis Smith. Its three movements are played without a pause. The first movement is a dialogue between the soloist and the ensemble. A cadenza bridges the first movement to the second, which is a brief interlude exploiting the lyrical qualities of the cup-muted trombone. The ensemble suddenly interrupts the peaceful flow of the interlude, and paves the way for the final dance.
