Bass Trombone Music by Henry Wolking is a four-movement Sonata for Bass Trombone & Piano written in 2007 for Professor Donn Schaefer of the University of Utah. The work was premiered at the 2008 Eastern Trombone Workshop by Professor Schaefer.

The 1st movement entitled "Roger" is about Roger Miller the country singer.

Movement II is after "Lou Harrison" a "mystic" classical composer.

Mr. Wolking's English Setter "Simon" is the star of movement III and "Thelonius Monk's "Blue Monk" legendary jazz composition is the inspiration for movement IV.

This work is written for virtuoso performers and can be a main work on a recital or concert. Professor Wolking's Sonata is a brilliant piece of music and should become a standard of the repertoire over the course of time.

Henry Wolking is a composer, performer (trombone), conductor, author, and chair of jazz studies and professor of music at the University of Utah. He received his BME from the University of Florida, where he graduated with honors, and the Phi Beta Kappa Creative Achievement Award. He was awarded his Master's Degree at North Texas State University, where he simultaneously pursued interests in jazz and classical composition, as well as trombone performance. In 1972, at the age of 23, his reputation as a composer and performer brought him to the University of Utah as head of the Jazz Area. By the age of 38 he was a tenured professor.

His jazz and serious works have been played and recorded by the finest orchestras and jazz ensembles in the world. From the Utah Symphony, which in 1982 premiered his Symphony No. 1 "Lydian Horizon" (a semi- finalist in the 1982 Kennedy Center Friedheim Awards), to recordings and performances with the Warsaw Philharmonic, London Symphony Orchestra and the BBC Jazz Orchestra. His CD (released in 2000) titled HENRY WOLKING was a best selling recording on the MMC label.

He has over 22 compositions for orchestra, which include 2 four-movement symphonies, a 30-minute ballet, 8 concertos, 4 fantasies, an overture, 5 jazz works, and a tango. His Horn Concerto was recorded and broadcast by the New Zealand Symphony in 1985, and since then, his orchestral works have received performances and recordings by many orchestras including; the Utah, Baltimore, Fresno, New Mexico, Jackson, Phoenix, Louisville, Milwaukee, Kalamazoo, Colorado Springs, Greenville, Elgin, Rochester, Boise, Walla Walla, Cedar Rapids, Springfield, Fairbanks, Nashville, North Carolina, Cincinnati, Warsaw, Brataslava, Istanbul, the London Symphony and various other community, and university orchestras.

45 of his jazz and chamber brass works have been published by major publishers, and over 50 more big band and combo pieces are published through his own company, Wolking Music Publications. His ballet, Forever Yesterday, premiered in April 1992, and was broadcast on the NPR show, Performance Today. A revised rendition of the Ballet that includes narrator and soprano solo was premiered in June of 1995 in Boise Idaho. His 30 minute jazz influenced Trombone Concerto was premiered by the Utah Symphony in 1994, and was subsequently taken on tour by that orchestra.

Mr. Wolking has been a yearly recipient of ASCAP Awards (Standard Awards Panel) since 1982. He is a former National Chairman for Jazz Theory of the National Association of Jazz Educators, and has published many articles on jazz theory in the NAJE magazine.
