Taps

Description

This TAPS – for solo trombone and trombone ensemble – was written in memory of Bill Zehfuss, who was a long time trombone faculty member at Brevard Music Center, and a good friend of mine. On this occasion, another mutual friend, Dan Satterwhite, asked me to score it for solo trombone with trombone ensemble, to be performed/recorded by Charlie Vernon, celebrated bass trombonist of the Chicago Symphony. It was recorded at Brevard, with many of Bill’s friends and students, in a moving tribute to a gentle soul.
