Premiere Information: Isoceles Trio (Heidi Lucas, horn; Richard Perry, tuba; Lois Leventhal, piano), Marsh Auditorium, 2011, Hattiesburg, MS

From the composer, Charles Ingram:

Charles Ingram's "Bonbons", a 9 minute suite consisting of four movements, was composed in 2011 for the Isosceles Trio.

The first movement is semi autobiographical in that it's a reminiscence of afternoon strolls through the fields and meadows of the 116 acre farm that was owned by the composer's grandfather.

The second movement recalls a song against the vastness of nature as one might experience it in the big sky country of Montana

The third movement has been likened to a kinder and gentler Mephisto waltz. It tends towards tonal uncertainty which is reinforced with the descending octaves in the piano at the end of the movement.

The last movement is a straightforward playful march that pays homage to the patriotic marches of John Philip Sousa.

About the composer (from the jwpepper.com website):

www.jwpepper.com/myscore/charles-ingram

Charles Ingram (b. 1951) a native of Gulfport, Mississippi holds degrees in composition from the University of Southern Mississippi where he studied with William Presser and Luigi Zaninelli, and in Choral Music from the University of Southern California where he studied with Charles Hirt, James Vail and Thomas Sommerville. After retiring in 2008 as Professor of Music at Los Angeles Southwest College, he moved to Covington, Georgia where he devotes his full time to composition. Most of his recent compositions have been commissions for songs, solo brass instruments with piano and various combinations of brass instruments. His most recent commission was for the Blenheim Trio (Horn, Trombone and Tuba) and was premiered at Wright State University in Dayton Ohio. His recent choral setting of Go, Lovely Rose for SSAA/Piano and Horn, and his setting of the African-American spiritual, I Wanna Be Ready were written for and premiered by the Miami University of Ohio Choraliers under the direction of Dr. William Bausano. His setting of When David Heard was premiered by the Southeast Missouri State University Choir under the direction of Dr. Peter J. Durow.
