The Composer Adrian B. Sims (b. 2000), born in Seattle, Washington is an emerging composer, conductor, educator, and trombonist. Adrian graduated from Catonsville High School (class of 2018) located in Catonsville, Maryland. His music has been played at The Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic and selected for the Bandworld Top 100 List. Adrian has also been selected as a winner in multiple composition competitions including the Maryland Music Educators Association Young Composers Project and the Make Music Young Composers Contest. On many occasions, he has rehearsed and conducted his music in performances at schools across the state of Maryland.

As a trombonist, Adrian has performed in a wide variety of musical ensembles including pit and symphony orchestras as well as jazz and concert bands. In high school, he was selected to participate in the Maryland All-State Band several times and has played side by side with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra. He currently plays in the top ensembles at The University of Maryland and studies with Matthew Guilford, solo bass trombonist with the National Symphony Orchestra. Adrian is grateful for the continued support from his band directors Christopher Gnagey and Cindy Stevenson, and is pursuing a dual degree in Music Education and Composition at The University of Maryland. He credits Dr. Robert Gibson, Professor of Composition at The University of Maryland, and world-renowned composer Brian Balmages for his development as a composer.

About the Music Written for trombone ensemble or quintet, Sanctuary is a lyrical work bringing the listener to a state of peace. The work serves as a reminder to all that it is important to maintain our health and well-being even in times of distress and unrest. If peace and safety do not exist in our world, we must create it ourselves.

All five parts have the potential to be played on tenor trombone, however, I would highly recommend part 5 be played on bass trombone for balance and depth of sound.

I encourage experimentation with phrasing as well as dynamic contrast. There are a variety of dynamics and hairpins indicated, but more nuanced musical phrases can be articulated when the ensemble can go beyond the markings on the page.

While not every note in the piece is slurred, the general style should be legato and connected. Hard articulations should be used sparingly.

The accents in ms. 61-62 can be interpreted as weight with a slight front to the notes.
