Product Description
During Malaysia's third Covid-19 Lockdown, in January 2021, I composed a short piece for solo trombone each day for 14 days, performing them each evening in an online stream from my apartment balcony. Almost a year later, I fleshed out the themes from Lockdown Miniatures #1 and #4 to create Lockdown Themes for symphony orchestra. This piece is a re-orchestration of the latter for trombone quartet.
The first two themes, from Lockdown Miniature #1, reflect the angst and uncertainty of beginning yet another lockdown with all businesses once again closed, police roadblocks preventing movement beyond the neighborhood, and all human contact reduced to a small screen.
The third theme, from Lockdown Miniature #4, is meant to express the raw emotion associated with losing loved ones over the previous ten months.
First trombone range: up to C5.
Bass trombone range: down to G1 (pedal G).
