Reflective Mood

Reflective Mood by Sammy Nestico is a timeless classic for trombone and piano, published by Kendor Music. Composed in 1964 and dedicated to his trombone teacher, Matthew Shiner, this popular original work captivates with its warm, profound ballad character. The piece provides soloists with outstanding opportunities for musical expression: expressive rubato passages and two effective cadenzas invite an individual, heartfelt interpretation. With a range extending to B4 (optional C5), the work calls for a beautiful high register and rewards both performer and audience with a deeply moving musical experience. Whether for recitals, competitions, or concert performances, this sheet music edition is a wonderful addition to any ambitious trombonist's repertoire.
