The writing of Romanza and Scherzo was inspired by Charles Vernon, the legendary Bass Trombonist of the Chicago Symphony, who asked Mr. Pierce to write something for me with lots of melodies. The work is in three sections: a brief introduction followed by the very expressive Romanza and the final Scherzo, which is light and bouncy. The music is full of LOTS OF MELODIES, has a very large range and features a challenging cadenza. About 10 minutes in length, this music is appropriate for advanced performers. This work is dedicated to George Curran, Bass Trombonist of the New York Philharmonic who performs it on his new CD, Vital Signs, available on iTunes, CD Baby and from other distributors. Below is a brief sample of this beautiful work performed by Mr. Curran.
