Trombone Sonata
Arranger/Composer: Kimberly Archer
Item Code: 10730
Publisher: C. Alan Publications
A large scale sonata for the trombone showcasing the melodic capabilities of the instrument.
Program Notes
A composition teacher once claimed that the trombone is not a melodic instrument, so I decided to prove him wrong by writing a large-scale sonata for the instrument. Trombone Sonata is dedicated to Brock Feller (trombone), who was one of my students when I was a high school band director, and to Kyle Kindred (piano), who helped me understand how to better write idiomatically for the piano during the composition process. Brock and Kyle premiered the work at my doctoral composition recital in 2003.
