Songs Of The Sun

Composed in the traditional three-movement format, Eric Ewazen’s third trombone concerto was composed in memory of one of Brazil’s greatest trombonists, a former theory student of the composer. The title SONGS OF THE SUN evokes the inspiration of Brazil’s natural splendor and sizzling musical traditions, with movement titles like “Showers and Rainbows,” and a Latin-dance feel underlying the exciting lyricism that has made Ewazen a favorite with trombonists. For advanced performers. Dur.: 18'
