Description:
Ewazen's double trombone quintet was composed in memoriam for the late Glenn Dodson; and reflects (Dodson's) lively spirit and the singing sounds of his instrument. Its first performance was given by a group of former students at a memorial concert; celebrating the life of the former principal trombonist of the Philadelphia Orchestra. Ewazen points; in particular; to a fugue section in the work; fittingly based upon the Tuba Mirum from Mozart's Requiem. For advanced performers.
