They truly wanted to have a piece composed in his memory, and wanted to explore possibilities as to how to make that happen. I knew Bill from my performing days many years ago, as well as having worked with him when conducting the Charleston Symphony. As a matter of fact, the last time I had seen Bill was when conducting the brass quintet as soloists in front of the orchestra. Bill was the trombonist, and I recall having some great laughs with him late into the evening after our final performance. Wilson Ochoa successfully led a campaign, along with Michael Grose and Dan Satterwhite, to crowd-fund the creation of the piece. Once that was accomplished, we were honored to have the Minnesota Orchestra and conductor Osmo Vänskä (with whom I had worked previously) sign on to presenting the premiere, with their low brass section as soloists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstrumentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e solo low brass (2 tenor trombones, bass trombone, tuba); 3.3.3.3\/4.3.0.0\/timp.4 perc\/hp\/strings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrchestral performance parts are available via rental.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClick here for a rental quote\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Stephenson Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50520892768335,"sku":"JAT-156-070-FS","price":95.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/36e3137bab9b35b7819f01e93a1130df.jpg?v=1790198993","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/zh\/products\/stephenson-pillars-stephenson","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
