Brian Sadler - Soundtrack for Trombone and Orchestra
The concept for Soundtrack is different from many of its fixed-media counterparts, or what may be considered traditional electronic accompaniments.
It is tonal and melody driven with real orchestra sounds as the accompaniment which is contrast to the avant-garde and abstract sound accompaniments of its predecessors.
The style is drawn from influences from film composers such as Steve Jablonsky (Transformers), John Williams (Star Wars, Indiana Jones)
structure
The final phrase includes difficult passages for the trombone as the
accompaniment shifts chords every beat from C-D-Gb-C. Following this quick-paced
chord shifting, unison orchestral hits on the downbeats of C-Ab-F-Db )
highlight octave jumps in the solo. The orchestra and soloist continue to play in unison in
the final measures, reinforcing the triplet idea permeating the third and final section.
