The composer is Brian Mills, who teaches at Assumption University in Bangkok. The score is unpublished, so you will have to contact Brian for a copy. If you can't locate him on email, write me and i will send you his address.

Further to ecmcomichael:

I am doing a lot of research on embouchure focus and find that the more you do, the more you CAN do. I also free buzz, mouthpiece buzz, and work at high volumes with a practice mute.

Wow! basstrb3, you are flat out awesome! Who could imagine that trombone and tympani could mesh so well. Great job! And I have to comment positively on your incredible range and intonation! First class! What make of instrument do you use? I play tenor trombone myself and play high notes well and am not sure I want to affect my emboucher by focusing on the low notes so often reserved for bass trombone. Thanks for posting this - just incredible!

I appreciate your comments! Well, I am 63 years old and have played for 53 of them: I teach trombone at Mahidol University College of Music in Thailand and play with the Thailand Phil [TPO.] My instrument is an Edwards B454 with in-line Thayer valves and [at the time] the Schilke D6.0 mouthpiece; I now play the LOUD LM30 mouthpiece.

I wouldn't back away from low notes; I play fake tones, double pedals, super notes up to and past super Bb everyday.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. If you want the sheet music or want to contact Dr. Mills, let me know and I will forward his details...

Bravo - Fantastic playing!

As a Timpanist, I struggle finding good pieces of music to play with other instruments - I would love to get in touch with the composer to buy a copy of this if you would be so kind to pass on his email? Thanks so much!

Hey basstrb3 :D can you please tell me what the name of the composer and the title of this great duet are? I am going to play this duet with a friend of mine who plays percussion (if we can find the sheet music) :)
