Magabo for trombone, tuba and piano Commissioned by Zenas Kim-Banther (trombone) and John Banther (tuba), Magabo is a one movement character suite about their two dogs (Maggie and Gabby) and horse (Bolero). The opening section of the work, Gabbys Song, is a lyrical, sentimental tribute to an aging friend. The middle section, Maggies Dance, is a quirky little jazz waltz depicting a...quirky little dog. ; ) And the final section, Boleros Spirit, is a bold, noble and driving depiction of their beautiful horse. I had a great time writing for this more-unusual instrumentation.
