Program Note 

“Glint” is a beautiful and evocative word, referencing something glancing off of something else, a reflection off of a surface, a brilliant flash, or a brief and faint appearance of something. In writing this piece, I considered various ways that ideas or sounds could “glint” in a musical context, particularly utilizing the trombone’s capacity for varied timbres and microtonal flexibility.

Many thanks to Russell Ballenger for commissioning this piece as part of his final doctoral project at the University of Alabama and for providing invaluable feedback during the compositional process.
