Toelichting:
Program note (English): Mini-concerto is a concerto for trombone and seven brass instruments. The mini in the title refers to the chamber ensemble of brass instruments only - not to the scope of difficulty of the work. It is a work about space and spatial disposition in performance but also, the space of within the sound world itself. The work is in five sections which are performed without pause. Section I uses a chromatic, but static, 'block' of sound - a bubbling, frenzy of energy which ultimately settles onto a single pitch 'g.' Section II dissolves into the atonal, fast movement which is Section III. Section III also confirms the polarity of musical spaces which have been set out in the work, tonality - atonality. Section IV is a short interlude similar to the motionless quality of Section II: slow, suspended sounds, tone colors projected through the performance space, a plaintiff trombone melody slowly emerging. Section V, which is the largest single section of the work, is based upon the
concept of a soloist into a tape delay system. The 'answering voices' here are of course the other seven brass instruments which affords a variety of tone color which cannot be achieved by a tape delay system itself. It is in g minor. - JAMES FULKERSON
