[Trombone-l] Information Needed

[Charles DePaolo]

Hi Mike,

Premru's "In Memoriam" was written for Ray's best friend, Roger Minor (sp?), 
a colleague at the Eastman School.  He was killed in a car crash during a 
school break.  I have never heard of a motorcycle being involved, but that 
may be an error of omission on my part.

In Music,

  Dear Group:

  Could anyone give me any background on the trombone quartet "In Memoriam" 
by Ray Premru?  I'd be very interested if it was written with any particular 
person in mind.

  Also, I have heard it said that the composer Serocki had been a 
professional boxer at one time in his life.  Can anyone confirm that this is 
true or if totally off base?

  Many thanks in advance.

  Mike
