He composed several well-known pieces in the choral and orchestral mediums. He often put text to words in his choral works and is one of the English composers known for travelling to collect folk music across the country from everyday people.Six Studies in English Folk Song was composed in 1926 and was originally set to cello and piano but was later transcribed for various other instruments. Each movement, save the 6th, is very reflective and contains subtle musical gestures. Vaughan Williams instructed that these songs be “treated with love” with respect to the beauty in each song.ConversationCHARLES SMALLCharles Small has had a long career as a New York freelance trombonist. He played in the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra and later in the ABC Staff Radio Orchestra. Small composed Conversation in 1976 for bass trombonist David Taylor and him-self. This composition has become a cornerstone in the trombone duet repertoire and features ‘dialogue’ between the two players.Concerto for Three Trombones DEREK BOURGEOIS Derek Bourgeois is an English composer with a library of numerous works. A cata-logue of his opuses currently reaches 356, including a long and wide variety of chamber music, 15 concertos, and an astounding 91 symphonies. The trombone community knows him through his works for trombone choir and his concertos for tenor trombone, bass trombone, and 3 trombones.The Concerto for Three Trombones was composed in 1977 and is composed in 3 movements. The first movement explores the technical as well as tonal and blending possibilities of trombones. Bourgeois uses alteration of rhythm and con-sonance throughout the work. In addition he utilizes the sounds created by straight mutes and the effect of glissandos. These compositional techniques create quirky motives driven by the raw power of the trombone.Kennesaw State University School of MusicThe School of Music at KSU has dedicated, vibrant, and talented faculty and staff that are completely devoted to teaching, performing, scholarship, and serving our community.
