Commissioned by Brassininity, Oration features the trombonist in a brass quintet, a rarity in the repertoire. Like an inspired orator, the soloist must play a wide range of emotions, from tranquility to ferocity.
2 Bb trumpets, horn, trombone, tuba
Difficulty: Advanced
Duration: 6:00
Clip from the Premiere Press CD, “Watercolor Menagerie” :
“Oration is a challenging tour-de-force that features the trombone in a brass quintet. It is an eloquent, dignified, yet impassioned work, combining all of the declamatory, dynamic, expressive, and range potentials attainable on the instrument. At times stentorian, caressing, angry, plaintive, and powerful, the work utilizes practically the complete range of the instrument. Oration is a superb addition to the chamber music repertoire and is ideal for any concert where the trombone is to be featured.”
