On a Tear: 2nd Trombone

Packed with frenetic energy contrasted with a deeply moving lyrical section, On a Tear, by Todd Stalter, gives young musicians the opportunity to explore wide ranges of expression as all parts of the ensemble have featured areas and moments to shine. An ideal concert opener or closer, the work's title has a dual meaning, which deepens the musical connection between performers and audiences alike. (3:15)
