Completed on the 20th anniversary of 9/11, Adolphus Hailstork’s MONUMENTS is a musical memorial that cries out in mourning, and lifts a song of hope for the future. This noble and lyrical work calls for great expressivity and control from the trombonist, with very sparing use of virtuosity. Performable with piano (114-42312), string quartet or quintet (114-42399), or string orchestra (116-42098), MONUMENTS is a profound, yet versatile addition to the trombone repertoire.
MONUMENTS was commissioned by the Resonate project, a collaboration of the Detroit Chamber Winds & Strings, Bowling Green State University, the Carr Center, Michigan State University, Oberlin College Conservatory, the University of Michigan, and Western Michigan University.The trombone part was written for David Jackson, professor of trombone at the University of Michigan.The title occurred to me when a friend living in Philadelphia told me she had toured monuments in that city on Memorial Day, 2021. By that time I had already written what I call a “noble, lyrical melody” for trombone to serve as the main theme in the composition.MONUMENTS was finished on September 11, 2021. Other awesome monuments had been created on that date twenty years before.–Adolphus Hailstork
