Joy Cometh in the Morning was premiered at the 2018 International Trombone Festival Composers’ Workshop, and features a luscious soundscape that works well with any trombone choir concert. Written in 2018 by Chris M. Sharpe, this lyrical piece is written for 8 trombones (6 tenors, 2 basses).

Length: 5 minutes

Range: Highest tenor part reaches Ab4 once. Lowest bass part reaches pedal Gb a couple times but mostly stays near or above B1.
