Rejuvenation

Alexander Burdiss

Rejuvenation is a short work for trombone quartet that embodies the feelings of accomplishment when someone completes a large task. This refreshing work was written to be one of the last compositions that the composer would perform during his undergraduate music degree. The main theme of this work is influenced by American Patriotic songs and composers, and blossoms into a broad, majestic climax that showcases the tone of four trombonists playing at high volumes. This work is dedicated to the composer’s instructor and mentor, David Vining.
