Kao, Ying-Chen - Ancient Memory

Ancient Memory is a solo trombone piece that was written for the 2008 Summer Trombone Workshop in Taipei, Taiwan. The idea behind this piece is to imitate Asian folk-sounding musical styles. Feather beaming, tone bending, and grace notes are the featured elements used to express and imitate these styles. One should imagine a folk singer who sings with an untrained, honest voice that possess natural beauty. Ying-Chen Kao
