Hefty Trifles (2021), for Trombone Quintet: 2 altos, two tenors, bass

These brief movements can be thought of as character pieces on four contrasting modes of behavior.  None of them are of overly deep significance, but are here rendered in the sorts of rich textures that suggest quirky conduct and an absorbed state of mind.  Roughly described: I. Indecorous – with questionable manners, irreverently flouting formality; II. Languorous – contemplative and very mellow; III. Capricious – the opposite of II., flighty, without reflection, ADD; IV. Klezmerous – PAR-TEE!!! 14-15 minutes total. $25 for score, parts, demo recording. Order here. Check out the version for standard brass quintet here.
