Adam Gorb - Life in the Day of a Trombone BC

By: Adam Gorb

08:00 "It was such a lovely day, I thought it was a pity to get up" • 10:45 "I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me" • 14:00 "Seeing is deceiving, its eating thats believing" • 16:50 "Well, we cant stand around here doing nothing, people will think were workmen" • 19:30 "Without music, life would be a mistake" • 23:59 "No civilised person goes to bed the same day he gets up"

"... Head of composition at the RNCM, Adam Gorb writes in a familiar contemporary language, but his ideas sound fresh and his student works hold a lot of appeal. This set of six pieces describes specific times in a day, with witty titles such as "No civilised person goes to bed the same day he gets up". Teenagers of Grades 7 -8 will find the music in touch with urban teenage life, and will especially enjoy performing the lazy swing-feel piece. Although as with most modern writing there is not a lot of scope for expression beyond whats notated, there are plenty of technical hurdles to overcome."
