Eric Ewazen Songs of the Sun (Canções do Sol) Concerto No. 3 for Trombone and Orchestra
Solo Trombone and Piano Reduction
Composed in the traditional three-movement format, Eric Ewazen’s third trombone concerto was composed in memory of one of Brazil’s greatest trombonists, a former theory student of the composer. The title Songs of the Sun evokes the inspiration of Brazil’s natural splendor and sizzling musical traditions, with movement titles like Showers and Rainbows, and a Latin-dance feel underlying the exciting lyricism that has made Ewazen a favorite with trombonists. For advanced performers. Dur.: 18'

Peter Schickele Music for Judy
Trumpet and String Quartet
Balance and tone color were inspiring factors as Peter Schickele composed Music for Judy for the uncommon combination of trumpet and string quartet. The inventive use of various mutes is one of many ways the composer provides a fun freshness as we hear the four movements titled: Aubade, Crazy Quilt, Intermezzo, and Polka. (For the final Polka, the composer revisits his famous Polka from Hornsmoke, but in a challenging new setting.)

Stacy Garrop Helios
Brass Quintet
Garrop's brass quintet describes the daily journey of the sun god, Helios, as he crosses the sky, then sleeps through the night in a golden boat which carries him back to the beginning. As such, her soundcape "...begins with a fast and fiery sunrise and ends in a serene, sunset mood." Helios was commissioned by the Gaudete Brass Quintet, who also recorded the work on Chicago Moves (Cedille label). "Of all the music on the disc, this one is so well played, it stood out as one of my favorites." (quotes from John J. Puccio, Classical Candor) For advanced performers. Dur.: 4'30"

Eric Ewazen Triple Concerto for Three Trombones and Orchestra
Three Trombones and Piano reduction
Ewazen takes great pleasure in writing for brass, and being asked for a concerto for three trombones was pure delight. For Maestra JoAnn Faletta and the trombone section of the Buffalo Philharmonic, Ewazen has crafted a three-movement standout, in what is, admittedly, underserved repertoire. Music writer Herman Trotter of The Buffalo News notes, "...Its outstanding feature seems to be the glorious sonority three trombones can produce," and "The composer describes the Finale as 'rip-roaring.' He’s right." (Read his full review here.) The Triple is now available in piano reduction. For advanced performers. Dur.: 24'

Carter Pann Duo
A commission from the Wozniak Duo (Lois Hicks-Wozniak, saxophone, and Matthew Wozniak, bass trombone) led the composer to fashion a two-movement synthesis of this dynamic couple. The movements ("Lyrical Lois" and "Chopper's Rag") are contrasting elements, as reflects the contrasting instruments, The first begins "with sweet serenity," before giving way to a passage "in the groove," with rythmic foot stomps. The second ("Mean!") starts with attitude, then solidity ("Kinda square"). The original alto saxophone and bass trombone duo is also available in Pann's transcription for flute and bass trombone. Dur.: 10'. For advanced performers.

Eric Ewazen Variations & Fugue on a Theme by Brahms
Trumpet and Piano
Ewazen was commissioned to write a trumpet and piano piece fashioned after the Brahms Intermezzo Op. 117 No. 1, and this became his first foray into construction of variations.

The original line appears again at the end, an inspiration offered by trumpeter Chris Gekker, for whom the work was written. View a recent performance on YouTube, by Anne Kovarik (trumpet) and Paul Carroll (piano). For advanced performers. Dur.: 10'

Encomium
Ten Trombones (2x [4Tbn., BTbn.])
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.

MIXED BRASS ENSEMBLE
Double Concerto
Trumpet, Trombone, and Piano reduction
The Ewazen Double Concerto is now available in piano reduction, as recorded by Niklas Eklund (trumpet), James Lebens (trombone), and the composer on piano. Ewazen was delighted, as he says, to write for trumpet and trombone in an orchestral setting, and this piano reduction now brings his Concerto to recital programs.

Trio for Trombone, Tuba, and Piano
Trombone, Tuba, Piano
Ewazen refers to himself as a long-time fan of the low brass, which he finds particularly attractive, and of the virtuosic playing he has heard over many years. Here, three movements allow the low brass to dance, to sing, and to fly, an unusual setting for instruments normally used in "grand, dramatic fanfares." For advanced performers. Dur.: 18'

Basso Cantante
Six Euphoniums, Six Tubas
Writing for R. Winston Morris, "one of the key champions of 20th Century American tuba performance," would be a daunting task, but Ewazen neatly captures the dynamics and unheralded singing qualitites of the lowest brass in Basso Cantante.

Fanfarria Castellana
11 Brass Instruments
The Spanish orchestra Orquesta Sinfonica de Castilla y Leon approached Ewazen for an opening fanfare for its new and impressive concert hall. The resulting Fanfarria Castellana quite naturally is colored with Spanish dance rhythms, but the music is pure Ewazen joy. For advanced performers.

Front Range Fanfare
11 Brass Instruments and 2 Percussionists
Native Ohioan Ewazen, upon seeing the Front Range of the Colorado Rockies for the first time, was moved to compose this "compact, heroic celebration of the grandeur of brass instruments," as he describes it. Premiered by the Boulder Brass (Colorado) and the Brandt Brass (Russia), Front Range Fanfare also captured the attention of a French brass ensemble, attesting to the global appeal of Ewazen's music. For advanced performers.
