Summary of This Score
Music for Trombone is a work in three movements composed by Jost Meier (1939) in 1986 for trombonist Michel Becquet, commissioned by Radio Suisse Romande. The premiere took place on October 17, 1986 in Geneva, featuring Michel Becquet as soloist, the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande, and conducted by Roderick Brydon.
This score fully embraces the contemporary aesthetic, offering a writing style that exploits the projection, flexibility, and color palette of the trombone. The soloist engages in dialogue with the orchestra through marked contrasts, alternating sequences of rhythmic drive, more suspended passages, and episodes where the trombone line asserts itself authoritatively above the orchestral texture.
Designed for an advanced level, the work is aimed at performers wishing to enrich their concert repertoire with a piece of strong character, requiring solid technical and musical mastery. The format (approximately 16 minutes ) makes it a relevant choice for a season program, a competition, or a high-level educational project centered on the solo trombone.
Published in the Swiss Composers Series, this edition allows access to a representative page of late 20th-century Swiss composition, with a detailed orchestral ensemble including woodwinds with doublings, brass, color keyboards, and percussion, serving a rich sonic dramaturgy.
