Elizabeth has delivered several new compositions for low brass over the past several years. First for Tuba, followed by Euphonium and now Bass Trombone. The 1st movement is bold & expressive. The 2nd movement, titled, "Romance for Nada" is lyrical followed by the 3rd and final movement which is rhythmic & dramatic. This Concerto was commissioned by colleagues and friends in honor of Douglas Sparkes. Mr. Sparkes is Bass Trombonist of the Vancouver Symphony.
