Having written the piece "Condor Canyon" for trombone and brass quintet, it was a great challenge and joy for me to get the commission of a similar piece, specifically for the brilliant trumpeter Ole-Edward Antonsen and the phenomenal Spanish Brass. The fact that I was asked to include myself in the piece felt of course as a bonus.
To find a title was not easy, but after listening through the piece it suddenly came up: "Groundhog Mamba"...
A mamba is a very beautiful, green african snake, and a groundhog is a strange animal that is honoured in America with a special day called "Groundhog Day".
I do not know if you feel any wiser from this programme note, but I do really hope that the audience will enjoy what I have written for the wonderful virtuosic musicians Ole-Edward Antonsen and Spanish Brass...I will try to stay in line with them...
Christian Lindberg.
