Prairiescapes
concerto for trombone & symphony orchestra Duration: 18' Grade 5 Katherine Bergman Music © 2022 Prairiescapes explores three distinct Iowa landscapes: the lush, bountiful tallgrass prairie which once covered 80% of the state; the Loess Hills along Iowa’s western border, formed over thousands of years by wind-blown soil; and the Driftless Region in Northeast Iowa, with its steep hills, forested ridges, deeply carved river valleys, and spring-fed waterfalls.
Commissioned by trombonist Benjamin Yates and the Oneota Valley Community Orchestra
