Izumi Shibata commissioned the Ballad for Bass Trombone as a unique and thoughtful birthday present for her husband, who happens to play this very instrument. Thanks to her gift, bass trombone players around the world received a stunning addition to their repertoire. The ballad will be a welcomed challenge for every soloist and an interesting, though not particularly demanding, job for the accompanying ensemble.

Von diesem Geschenk können nun alle Bassposaunisten, die mit Soloauftritten nicht gerade verwöhnt sind, profitieren. Ballad for Bass Trombone ist ein attraktives Werk: eine Herausforderung für den Solisten und eine interessante Aufgabe für das begleitende Ensemble.

Ballad for Bass Trombone est une pièce charmante qui dévoile le timbre noble et les immenses possibilités de cet instrument a priori pas très virtuose et dont le répertoire ne compte hélas que très peu d’oeuvres pour soliste. Cette composition, pourtant, contient quelques beaux défi s techniques pour le soliste et un accompagnement orchestral relativement peu exigeant.

Ballad for Bass Trombone è un pezzo aff ascinante che rivela il timbro nobile e di enormi potenzialit di questo strumento non proprio molto virtuoso, il cui repertorio non conta, purtroppo, molti lavori per solista. Questa composizione, tuttavia, contiene alcune sfi de tecniche per il solista e un accompagnamento orchestrale leggermente più esigente.

These TWO SUITES were composed in response to a request form Heini Schneebeli, the musical director of 'TROMBONANZA 2017'. Santa Fe in Argentina is the backdrop for this exciting annual event involving many hundreds of student and professional players.

The SECOND SUITE has five movements and is intended for a quartet of younger tenor trombonists working with a teacher on the fifth part on bass trombone who will add richness and depth to the ensemble sound.

It is my hope that this piece will encourage, entertain and challenge student players and provide useful concert material for use in the promotion of this unique and versatile instrument.
John Frith - 2017

Popcatepetl, “Smoke Mountain” in Aztec, is a dormant volcano which the Mexican people affectionately call “POPO.” This dormant volcano in Mexico is on the boundary between the states of Mexico and Pueblo.In 1921 Popocatepetl belched smoke and gas for several months. Since then is has occasionally emitted the smoke and sulfurous vapors that earned its Aztec name.This suite is my musical impression of the Aztec volcano. The piece is divided into three scenes.The first scene, Prologue, is the first impression formed when you first come upon the volcano. The emotions range from fear to excitement to respect for nature. This scene should be played with spirit and every rhythmically.The second scene, Ballad. represents my feelings after the initial emotions have faded. One is quickly relaxed by the beauty of the volcano and its surroundings. This scene is scored in a dance-band style with lush sounding harmonics. This section of the composition should be played very slowly and with a relaxed feeling.The third scene, Introduction and Samba, is the emotion of joy utilizing Latin rhythms. This scene takes advantage of all of the color and rhythms associated with Mexico. Samba opens with a fanfare which is the main theme on which the whole scene is developed. This section should be played very crisply and rhythmically.Particular attention should be paid to all of the dynamic expressions even though the scoring will in most cases achieve dynamic changes.
