Carson Cooman's Concerto for Trombone : Remembering Tommorow reviewed

From the ITA Journal Vol 36 #1 January 2008 p74-75.

Remembering Tomorrow is written in an extended tonal idiom, using no extended techniques. Tonal range is C–b-flat1. Wide ranges of dynamics and expressive capability are exploited, and some sections, especially the cadenza, are technically challenging. Scoring for small orchestra is of considerable originality, the prominent use of bells providing some unusual and effective sonorities. By turns lyrical and declamatory, the trombone is given an eloquent and perhaps a prophetic voice. In my opinion, this is a successful piece that should fairly soon be able to find its way out of the wilderness and into the repertoire. Production of score and solo part is good; note that there is no piano reduction provided.

(The work has been recorded for an upcoming release and it is indeed a wonderful addition to the trombone repertoire: it is available in our brass music catalog)
