Lincoln, Neb.--Glenn Korff School of Music Professor of Music (Trombone) Scott Anderson will perform a faculty recital on Monday, Oct. 12 at 7:30 p.m. in Kimball Recital Hall.
The concert is free and open to the public.
His recital is titled “Trombone Music from the Paris Conservatory,” and he will be joined by Christi Zuniga, piano.
The program includes “Légende” by Charles Tournemire; “Morceau Symphonique” by Philippe Gaubert; “Solo de Trombone” by Georges Pfeiffer; “Sonata for Horn, Trumpet and Trombone,” with Alan Mattingly, horn, and Tom Kelly, trumpet; “Deuxième Solo de Concert” by Paul Vidal; and “Rhapsodie” by Jeanine Rueff.
“Music from the Paris Conservatory has been a career-long interest of mine,” Anderson said. “I began performing Henri Tomasi’s ‘Concerto for Trombone’ in high school, along with a great deal of the lesser-known French repertoire. The way this music incorporates elements of jazz, cabaret, and popular music makes it especially compelling to me.”
The Paris Conservatory’s tradition of evaluation has also had an influence on his teaching, Anderson said, particularly in the study of etudes and solo repertoire.
“I continue to believe that the repertoire associated with the Conservatory includes some of the finest music written for the trombone.”
Anderson said this recital program focuses on lesser-known works alongside several established standards.
“Philippe Gaubert’s ‘Morceau Symphonique’ has been an important part of the trombone repertoire for decades, as has Jeanine Rueff’s Rhapsodie,” he said. “The one work on the program outside the Conservatory tradition is Francis Poulenc’s ‘Sonata for Trumpet, Horn and Trombone.’ Including a work by a member of ‘Les Six’ is a particular joy, and the opportunity to perform it with my brass colleagues is gratifying.”
