Description:
De Profundis - Sonata for trombone and organ by Juraj Filas is a deeply expressive work that explores the spiritual and meditative dimensions of the dialog between trombone and organ. Inspired by the biblical psalm "De profundis clamavi", the sonata transports the listener into an atmosphere of contemplation, supplication and hope. The trombone, alternately dark and radiant, embodies the human voice in all its fragility and dignity. The organ, with its rich tonal spectrum and architectural power, offers a broad and majestic sound foundation. Filas' tonal language is characterized by intense lyricism, broad melodic lines and subtle harmonies. The work alternates between dramatic and contemplative passages, creating a constant expressive tension. The virtuosity of the trombone is emphasized both in the depth of the low register and in the brilliance of the high register. The sonata also demands great sensitivity from the organist in the choice of registers and dynamics. With this score, Filas creates a musical meditation of great emotional intensity. Today, De Profundis is considered an important work in the contemporary repertoire for trombone and organ.
