ABOUT
Peregrine is a ten-movement piece for solo bass trombone, with each movement representing a city that has special signi cance in commissioner Sun He's life Before I wrote the piece, Sun and I went through his memories and associations of these American cities so that the resulting movements would be a series of portraits of these both dif cult and beautiful spaces in his life Sun premiered Peregrine in Beijing in the autumn of 2016
Special thanks goes to Jonathan Warburton for inspiring me to make this new edition
