Twenty-First Century Unaccompanied Bass Trombone Solos Written by Composers Who Play or Have Played Trombone

Because of composers' ongoing contributions to the repertoire, there is a need to recognize and uncover twenty-first century unaccompanied solo works for the bass trombone. Performers and teachers alike benefit from receiving information on the demands of new music for the bass trombone. It is important for bass trombonists and trombone teachers to be aware of available repertoire other than the standard works. Furthermore, it is hoped that highlighting the overall value of pieces specifically from trombonist composers will encourage future contributions to the repertoire. Currently there is not an existing resource that covers the twenty-first century unaccompanied bass trombone repertoire written by trombonist composers. New additions to the solo repertoire for the unaccompanied bass trombone continue to increase in the twenty-first century; however, most of these additions are vastly unrecognized. This collection of information can positively influence future composers and their potential additions to the repertoire. At its minimum value, this document serves to observe and analyze new music. Two lecture recitals served as a distillation of this document on the same topic. These lectures contained biographical information about each composer, outlined each unaccompanied piece, highlighted specific technical demands for the performer, offered practice and performance suggestions to overcome said demands, and included a performance of select movements or the piece in its entirety. This document covers all the same information but features a more in-depth scope and includes greater detail in the specific challenges presented in each piece. / A Treatise submitted to the College of Music in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Music. / Spring Semester 2018. / March 29, 2018. / Includes bibliographical references. / John Drew, Professor Directing Treatise; Richard Clary, University Representative; Christopher Moore, Committee Member; Leon Anderson, Committee Member.
