Description:
The piece was written for a massed trombone choir to play at a British Trombone Society event in Birmingham in November 1999. It will work perfectly well as an octet but larger numbers are to be encouraged, particularly as in places it is rather tiring to play. It is convenient for the performers if they are arranged in two choirs but the groups should not be widely separated. The performers must stand on a wooden stage or floor, otherwise the stamping will not be resonant enough. Pieces of staging or trestle table tops can be stamped on instead but the piece will not work without an impressive bang from the performers' feet. It is easy for the marching section to rush but this will be less of a problem if you keep to the rather slow marked speed. Simon Wills
