Program Notes
English composer Derek Bourgeois wrote his Concerto for Bass Trombone and Band in 2006. It was written for and dedicated to Jos Jansen. Tonight’s performance of the first movement is a bright, fun, and technically challenging piece for solo bass trombone, and includes much interplay between the band and the soloist. The piece features many measures of 7/4 and 7/8 time signatures and shows off the full range and technical capabilities of the bass trombone, often not heard in the wind band setting. The piece concludes with a virtuosic cadenza by the soloist before a short and broad coda by the ensemble.
