Incursion
for bass trombone
Composed: May 22-27, 2002
Premiere: June 21, 2002 - 8th Annual NOW Music Festival, Goat Hall, San Francisco
Incursion – (in•cûr’zhun; -shun) n 1 : a sudden hostile invasion : RAID 2 : an entering in or into (as an activity)
Incursion was composed in the summer of 2002 for bass trombonist, Richard Lee and was premiered at the 2002 NOW Music Festival in San Francisco. Since its premiere, Incursion has under gone a few revisions. The intent of the piece is to introduce various melodic lines and fragments that speak out of turn or interrupt each other. Compositional and technical aspects of this piece were developed during the time when I composed two large-scale pieces for the bass trombone: Concerto for Bass Trombone and Orchestra (2001), composed for Jeff Kurka, was read by the Cleveland Chamber Symphony in spring 2001 and Obscured Ruminations (2002), also for bass trombone and chamber orchestra. Obscured Ruminations has yet to be performed.
