Atrium

for Trombone Ensemble (6 tenor, 2 bass)

Commissioned by the Texas Christian University Trombone Studio

Commissioned by the Texas Christian University Trombone Studio, Atrium explores resonance, space, and harmonic color within the trombone ensemble. The work unfolds in broad, sculpted gestures, allowing individual lines to emerge from — and dissolve back into — the ensemble fabric.

Built on layered sonorities and sustained harmonic movement, Atrium emphasizes blend, balance, and tonal depth while offering moments of lyrical clarity and quiet intensity. The writing takes advantage of the ensemble’s full range, creating a sense of architectural expansion and inward reflection.

Ideal for advanced collegiate or professional ensembles, Atrium offers a compelling programming option for concerts seeking contemporary repertoire that highlights both sonic breadth and expressive nuance.
