Determined to See “Indeterminacy”

he original idea and theme for this piece was written for a trombone trio in 1980, I was never happy with the middle section so ended up re-writing it after I left University, unfortunately the final version was never heard again until I return to playing the trombone once again during the global pandemic of 2020 when I played and recorded all the parts. I later added a couple keyboard improvisations using string sounds and then combine all the elements together. I have always like the classic music from the late romantic period, although this composite recording is not suitable for use at a wedding there is passionate undercurrent running though the music.
