The River of Memory — Program Notes

The River of Memory (2008)

Duration 12:00

Commissioned by trombonist Monique Buzzarté through the Soloist Champions project of Meet the Composer, funded by a commission/grant from the New York State Music Fund.

for Trombone and Computer Music

The River of Memory (2008, for trombone and computer music) is a meditation and reflection of memories in sound. The tempo is slow, like calm, deep waves flowing between minor and major tonalities, with little crests in major tonality, which soon subside into the next pool of mixed feelings."
