“Slide Quest” - Airen Yocum available at CSharpeEditions.com!
"Something Greater" is a solo for trombone and piano that reflects my compositional journey throughout undergrad. It starts by developing an idea, tries new things, settles into a mood, only to realize its not what I want. It breaks down, and builds back up to a climactic ending.
Length: ~10 min
Range: A1 - D5 *requires F attachment
"Uncharted Areas" is a set of five miniatures for piano that reflects the feeling of different locations that would appear in a video game. Each movement is my take on what music for each location would sound. Each movement is 1-3 minutes long, the whole set around 10 minutes.
Movement I - Village Square
Movement II - Windy Fields
Movement III - Deep Caverns
Movement IV - Across the Sea
Movement V - The Black Fortress
"Mourning" is a trombone quartet that emulates the feeling of going through the mourning process. It is based on my personal experiences, which does not line up with the common "Five Stages of Grief". It is confused, then sad, angry, both, then finally accepts without necessarily feeling "better".
Length: ~4 minutes
Range: First part goes up to upper tenor clef range, not going above Bb4. Middle parts are below that in bass clef range. Bass has a couple pedal Bb's and pedal A's, ends with a pedal Db.
