A major addition to the concertante trombone repertory, this single-movement work lasting 30 minutes was premiered in 2017 by Jorgen van Rijen and the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, conducted by Ivan Fischer. Press reviews were ecstatic: " this magnificent concerto enriches the repertoire The trombone sang, sang, sang then suddenly a spectacular mating dance of four trombones a la Stockhausen. At the very end van Rijen and MacMillan struck me down completely: between the serene harmonies which came to a moment of rest, the trombone once more entered with a heart-breaking eruption the wonderful beauty of despair It is a concerto for eternity, and trombone players could use one." - De Trouw.
