CONCERTO FOR TROMBONE and orchestra       

PROGRAM NOTE
Concerto for Trombone and Orchestra was written with the aim of featuring the lyric and dramatic qualities of the trombone.  In its development, the soloist weaves through a variety of reflected emotional states revealing a journey filled with both darkness and light.  It is a journey sustained by faith and the hope that each day presents an opportunity for a new beginning.

Concerto for Trombone and Orchestra is dedicated to my parents, Wayne and Ellen Frantzen.
