PROGRAM NOTE.
Peregrine is a ten-movement piece for solo bass trombone, with each movement representing a city that has special significance in commissioner Sun He's life. Before I wrote the piece, Sun and I went through his memories and associations of these American cities so that the resulting movements would be a series of portraits of these difficult and beautiful spaces in his life. Sun premiered Peregrine in Beijing in the autumn of 2016.
