"The Ascent (A Mountain Journey)" is a piece for solo trombone and piano that depicts a journey of an adventurer over a snow ridden mountain during a major snowstorm. The piece begins as a soft lullaby as the climber begins the ascent, but eventually turns to a more upbeat design as the audience encounters a snowstorm during the climb. The piece builds to a final cadenza from the trombone as the climber loses their grip from the mountain and plummets to their doom. The final phrase of the piece revisits the first theme and depicts the climber's final breaths. 
While A morbid piece, " The Ascent" is a short but intriguing piece, well worth the listen.

The Ascent (A Mountain Journey)

One of my earlier compositions. Reminded me a little of some of the final fantasy tunes. It ended up as an incomplete score, utilizing only some of the instruments involved. However, I deemed it an acceptable piece. Here I share it with you.
