Bert Appermont

About this composer

“Colors for Trombone is a concerto for solo trombone and concert band. It was composed in 1998 by Belgian composer Bert Appermont in Ravels. It was written for Belgian trombonist Ben Haemhouts. The piece is in four movements, each based on a color, and characterizes a typical musical quality: Yellow - inspiring and stimulating, (also: wisdom and light) Red - dynamic, passionate developing into dramatic, furious and fighting (also: courage and will-power) Blue - melancholic, dreamy and introvert (also: truth and peace) Green - hopeful and full of expectation (also: balanced power and harmony) The work exists in versions for solo trombone and brass band, fanfare band, and piano.”
