Looking for a playful addition to your next bass trombone recital? Romp and Ripple is a playful conversation between the bass trombone (or tuba) soloist and piano that contrasts the bold with the delicate, the heavy with the weightless, and the punchy with the lyrical. The conversation is not an argument between two opposing forces; rather, the performers work cooperatively to enhance one another’s low, foreboding range and higher, melodious capabilities.

Length: 7 minutes and 30 seconds

Range: Highest note is G#4. Lowest note is a pedal E.
