A Trombone solo that opens with a simple, dignified and militant style! The middle section is more delicate with the theme embellished to give a sense of bouyancy then migrating over to a more flowing and uplifting feeling. The final section begins lower and then starts its rising to a powerful statement of “having arrived!”

This is an expressive level three solo with piano accompaniment that employs a celtic lilt in its melodic flow. It modulates upward and adds excitement with the newly introduced motivic counterlines in the solo, only to begin its final movement downward in a meditative repose.
