"Burnt by the Sun" (for Solo Trombone, 2023)

Composer: Frank Sang.
Premiered in New England Conservatory's Jordan Hall on May 7th, 2024.
Program note:
I still remember when I was living in the dorm on campus at NEC. When I would wake up in the morning with my bed oriented towards the window, the sunlight coming in was like a sword stabbing through my eyes. It hurt a lot. This piece is a reflection of what my eyeballs were suffering, but translated into musical textures. Just like how one sometimes sees narratives playing out with one’s eyes closed, here we have a procession of fantastical events.
