  1. I would like to thank Jon Madden for his willingness to enter this endeavor with me, and for bringing a beautiful composition to the trombone choir. I would also like to thank Mark Lusk and the Penn State Trombone Choir for commissioning this piece and giving its premier performance. I thank the Metzler Family (Mike, Nancy, and Luke) for their generous and affirming support for this project. I finally would like to thank my advisor, Tonya Mitchell-Spradlin, for her ceaseless wisdom, and the unrelenting drive she instills in her students.
