The Old Chevalier (2005) - A Gothic Tale for Tenor Trombone and Ensemble. Piano reduction/Solo Trombone part: WH30940 Version for Bass Trombone: WH30942 Programme note The Old Chevalier for Trombone and Ensemble is the second of a series of seven compositions named after Karen Blixen's collection of short stories Seven Gothic Tales. My musical gothic tales are written for very different ensembles - THE SUPPER AT ELSINORE is a saxophone quartet - but they all share musical material in a criss-cross of contextual references reminiscent of Blixen's narrativecomplexity: Themes and motivsfrom one piece appears in others in new and surprising shapes and combinations. Karen Blixens The Old Chevalier begins with an old man talking to a youth about obl igation and passion. The old man tells a story about a beautiful woman who wanted tomake her husband jealous and cheated on him with a young man who admired him. Afterdiscovering the truth the young man meets a prostitute on her very first job. The girl is an innocent trading favors for shelter. The young man falls in love but she remains obliviousto his passion. She leaves after their encounter without emotional involvement. Many years later the young man - the old man telling the tale - recognizes the girl in a beautifulskull he's holding in his hand. The Old Chevalier isn't 'about' anything. The music is inspired by the artistic content of Blixen's short story - it's emotionalism dramatic construction atmosphere period and setting - but unfolds in time and musical space in ways that are completelyindependent of the story's narrative progression... except one might say that the trombone makes love to the piano and at the very end - just like the old man in the story is left contemplating its remains. The piece is written for the trombonist Jens Vind.

'It is difficult to describe the transformation that took place as this smiling friendly man hunched over his guitar and launched himself bodily it seemed into his music. The blues possessed him like a 'lowdown shaking chill' and the spellbound audience saw the very incarnation of the blues as head thrown back he hollered and groaned the disturbing lyrics and flailed the guitar snapping the strings back against the fingerboard to accentuate the agonized rhythm. Son's music is the centre of the blues experience and when he performs it is a corporeal thing audience and singer become as one.' Bob Groom/Blues World'In the years before World War II Son House created some of the purest most powerful Mississippi Delta blues on record. Playing with partners Charley Patton and Willie Brown he exerted a profound influence on Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters both of whom copied his music and carried it to new generations. House's influence still echoes through the Rolling Stones Eric Clapton and many other musicians and in many respects he is the true father of what's known today as deep blues.' Jas ObrechtIn this lesson Tom Feldmann takes you step by step through 15 classic Son House tunes that span every phase of Son's recorded career. This 4 hour lesson is undoubtedly the most extensive look into the music of Son House and the techniques he developed. DISC ONE highlights 8 songs in Spanish tuning. While DISC TWO focuses on 7 songs using the Vestapol tuning (Open D) Standard and most surprising to students of House's playing Cross-Note tuning with Clarksdale Moan. Also included on DISC TWO is a bonus interview with Stefan Grossman where he talks extensively about meeting Son House and recording with him. Rare performances of Son House following his rediscovery are used throughout the lesson. The
