Ewazen's double trombone quintet was composed in memoriam for the late Glenn Dodson, and reflects (Dodson's) lively spirit and the singing sounds of his instrument. Its first performance was given by a group of former students at a memorial concert, celebrating the life of the former principal trombonist of the Philadelphia Orchestra. Ewazen points, in particular, to a fugue section in the work, fittingly based upon the Tuba Mirum from Mozart's Requiem. For advanced performers.

Songs of Love and Loss was originally written for bass voice and piano, and premiered by Bryan Matthews at Juilliard in 1984. Subsequently in 2004, I arranged the work for Bass Trombone and Piano for Charlie Vernon, who premiered the work at the International Trombone Association Festival at Ithaca College. The poetry of Edna St. Vincent Millay, with her beautiful, sometimes enigmatic, and always evocative poetry was the inspiration for the four songs of this cycle. (Eric Ewazen).

State ly yet folklike, CEREMONIAL is a graceful 4-minute work in comfortable reach of intermediate students, and equally attractive for advanced and professional violists to exercise their cantabile. The slow-fast-slow form offers a cheerful dance in 3 that interrupts and recedes from a mostly-pentatonic and memorable tune.

A commission by the U.S. Air Force Band of the West allowed Ewazen to consider the ten years following the events of 9/11/2001, resulting in A Time of Strife, a Time of Peace. The first movement considers the long wars and the losses entailed through soaring lyrical lines above a rhythmic, pounding accompaniment, as Ewazen puts it. The second movement is a bittersweet celebration on the death of the perpetrator and a future of joy, peace, and life. Ewazen says, A burst of joyous energy bringing this chapter in our history to a close..

Gopak is the first movement of a set of Symphonic Dances written for the Hofstra Unibersity Wind Ensemble, directed by Peter Boonshaft, who commissioned and premiered the work in 2009. Gopak is a tribute to my Polish and Ukrainian roots. My father used to dance traditional Ukrainian dances including the Gopak, and some of my earliest musical memories include the joyful, energetic, and rhythmic feel of those wonderful folk dances.Gopak has a strong feeling of two beats, is accented quite heavily, and is energetic from beginning to end. The melodies are completely original, but the lively feel of the music calls to my mind the energy of the Gopak, notes composer Eric Ewazen.
