This is a recording of the gorgeous second movement of Jim David's fantastic "Secure. Contain. Protect. Sonata for Trombone" from my album "For the Beauty of the Earth". I absolutely adore this piece, and I hope you enjoy this rendition, which is accompanied by David M Rodgers on piano. You can find the sheet music for the piece at jamesmdavid.com
PROGRAM NOTES:
The three movements of Jim David's "Secure. Contain. Protect." are inspired by stories from the SCP Foundation, a fictional extra-governmental organization dedicated to securing, containing, and protecting numerous paranormal entities. Created by a thriving online community of writers, each “SCP” is a form of short fiction that describes the physical and mysterious properties of the entity, typically in a dry, bureaucratic tone.
The first movement, SCP-1342 “Future Voyager”, is an object that is nearly identical to the Voyager I space probe launched in 1977. However, the SCP was constructed in the year 42,412 AD by a civilization hundreds of light years from Earth. Like Voyager, it contains a “golden record” that holds a message for humanity. The civilization that built it found Voyager and learned much of humanity’s achievements in art and science. The two cultures flourished from their communications across the stars. As technology improved and resources dwindled, they eventually clashed and humanity almost completely wiped out its rival. The few survivors sent a replica of Voyager into the distant past to warn humanity of its future and remind them of the music they shared. Famously, the Cavatina from Beethoven’s String Quartet no. 13 was included on the original “golden record” and is quoted in the movement.
