Here's a "Grimm" Duet for cello and bass trombone inspired by the Brothers Grimm.

Jonathan Warburton first approached me with the idea of commissioning a new chamber work for bass trombone in autumn of 2021. Shortly after talking with Mr. Warburton, I traveled to Germany for about two months. While staying in Kassel, I spent an afternoon at Grimmwelt Kassel, a museum dedicated to the fairytales and dictionary work of the Brothers Grimm. I grew up on Grimms' Fairy Tales, so I was fascinated and in awe of being able to look upon their handwritten letters, notes, belongings - even a silver box that was displaying Jacob Grimm’s teeth!

Originally for Cello (Part 1) and Bass Trombone (Part 2), I've adapted this duet for a variety of instrument combinations:

Part 1

- Alto Clarinet; Bass Clarinet; Bassoon; Tenor Saxophone; Baritone Saxophone; Horn in F; Bass Trombone; Tuba; Viola; Cello

Part 2

- Bass Clarinet; Contrabass Clarinet; Bassoon; Contrabassoon; Baritone Saxophone; Bass Trombone; Tuba; Cello; Contrabass
