ABSTRACT
The purpose of this document is to provide college and private trombone instructors
with an annotated database of 52 selected original tenor trombone duets published from
1928 2006. This database consists of composer, title, copyright date, publisher, level of
difficulty, availability, range of both parts, clefs used, mutes used, and trombone type
required for performance as tenor or tenor-bass (tenor trombone fitted with an Fattachment). It also includes any required extended techniques, such as multiphonics,
flutter tonguing, lip trills, etc. Each entry concludes with a description of the work
summarizing the overall composition.
This resource will allow instructors to have a graded database from which to choose a
piece or collection of works that supports the development of the student, including
lesserknown compositions that have academic and musical value.

Chapter One
Motive for Research
The use of trombone duets as an instructional tool in applied lessons has become
the focus of research in recent years.1 Duets in the Applied Lesson, a survey by
Richard Human, investigated the use of trombone duets in improving solo and ensemble
skill. 2 In his discussion, Human used a quote from Himie Voxmans Selected Duets,
which states:
Duet playing affords the student the most intimate form of ensemble experience.
The problems of technique, tone quality, intonation, and ensemble balance are
brought into the sharpest relief. Careful attention must be given to style as
indicated by the printed page and as demanded by the intangibles of good taste.
Mastery of the art of duet playing leads easily and naturally to competent
performance in the larger ensembles. The numerous works included in this
volume have been selected for the purpose of introducing the instrumentalist to
the finest in two-part ensemble literature and acquainting him with a diversity of
musical forms and expressions. 3
For his survey, Human contacted seventeen college trombone teachers across the country
requesting feedback on a series of questions, which focused on the following areas:
intonation, rhythmic accuracy, sight-reading, dynamics, giving/following physical cues,
tone, style, range, recognizing melodic vs. accompanying figures, alternate positions,
setting/following tempo and tempo changes, articulation, vibrato, breath support, slide
technique, instrument position, clef reading, embouchure, use of F-attachment, and
intervals. Topics that received the highest scores in the survey were intonation,

Donn Schaefer has presented his research in the form of an instructional guide. 10
References of this project include specific examples of literature to address different
aspects of playing, but incorporate only a small number of original duets. While the
effectiveness of using duets has been well documented, no published guide to the tenor
trombone literature currently exists.
Publications that include duets are plentiful, but they are in the form of lists as in The
Trombone: The Instrument and Its Music by Robin Gregory, 11 The Trombonists
Handbook: A Complete Guide to Playing and Teaching by Reginald Fink, 12 The Art of
Trombone Playing by Edward Kleinhammer, 13 and Literature for the Bb Tenor
Trombone by Grant B. Jenkins, 14 which give only composer, title, and perhaps a level of
difficulty. Notably, these works are out of date. Other publications take duets into
account, but only mention their presence as a peripheral venture in the overview of
pedagogical materials. 15 Reviews of specific pieces have appeared in brass instrument
journals such as the International Trombone Association Journal 16 and the Online

information concerning the use of mutes, range, rhythmic complexity, or extended

current application.
In closing, the pedagogical benefit of this database is that it will allow instructors to
have a graded database from which to choose a piece or collection of works that supports
the development of the student, including lesser known compositions that have academic
and musical value.

Methods of Data Collection
Because the current project involves only published tenor trombone duets,
collection of the works began with contacting all known publishers of trombone duet
literature. Primarily, the majority of literature was acquired from Hickeys Music Center,
TAP Music Sales, Sheet Music Service, and Robert King Music. Various internet search
engines, using the words trombone duet and two trombones, were used to attempt to
locate other independent publishing companies that sell trombone duets. The inquiry
continued by referencing the Music Publishers Association directory, which contains the
largest database of publisher information on the Internet. 18 Additionally, the online
resources WorldCat and OhioLINK Inter-library loan at the University of Cincinnati
were used to locate possible out of print works. The author has made every attempt to
acquire the required literature either through OhioLINK Inter-library loan or retail
purchase.
Upon obtaining the corpus of works, the next difficulty for this research project
was to determine if it was an original work for two trombones. The investigation began
with a background check on each piece to determine its originality and authenticity.
Several works were found to be arrangements or transcriptions, which will not be
included in this document. Additionally, the author was confronted with various obstacles
such as works for trombone, baritone, and bassoon. The author has concluded that the
works included in this document were conceived for trombone originally, and published
for other instruments later.

The composer indicates that duets no. 10, 11, and 12 are Double Duos or quartets. 26
Bassett calls for the two performers to play the third and fourth parts against a tape
recording previously made of the two upper lines of music. Straight mutes are required
for the eleventh duet, Background-Foreground. Leslie Bassetts 12 Duos for
Trombones contains wonderful, idiomatic writing for the instrument.

more as an accompaniment part, Part 2 also requires several soft pedal B-flats. For Part 2,
a tenor-bass is not required, but would aid in certain low passages between a-sharp and b.
This piece does not have any extreme challenges, but does have contrasting dynamics and
requires rhythmic independence for proper performance. It would be a piece to program
for a twentieth-century showcase or studio performance.

Each part is balanced in these aspects, and Bolter suggests that each player should look
over the parts and decide which part suits which player best. Several non-traditional
markings are used including calm but strange, frantic, haunting, not strict time, longing,
agitated, pushed, soar with wonder, and slowly with question.
This work is a great example of Bolters atmospheric style with its
programmatic subject, demanding melodies, and expressive use of the instrument. The
various extended techniques required, combined with wide range, make this duet suitable
for professional players.

non-traditional markings are used including Always moving, Intent Building, Searching,

idiomatic material. 35 This work contains programmatic titles such as Ill Follow You
To Each New Beginning. As the title suggests, this duet is composed similar to the
Telemann Canonic Sonatas, in which one part repeats to previously performed material.
Overall, the pieces are very well written for trombone and would work for an
undergraduate performance opportunity.

with original compositions. Each piece has a title, and the collection concludes with
Adios. As the book progresses, the composer adds details such as dynamics,
articulations, tempo changes. Styles of music include waltz, march, and jazz. The limited
range, homorhythmic construction, and short duration makes these duets ideal for
teaching young players concepts of tone, articulation, and intonation.

phrases, dynamic contrasts, fermatas, and tempo changes. Teachers will find this work
beneficial in establishing solid concepts of tone production and articulation, along with
building confidence in young players.

The composer includes optional notes below the bass clef staff that are only possible with a
tenor-bass trombone with an F-attachment.
27
Concerning the fifth duet, To Bugs Bower, the composer is referring to Bugs Bowers
Bop Duets. This set of thirty-nine duets incorporates the bebop, or bop, jazz style made
popular by Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie in the late 1940s. 42 Edwards emulates this
style in a composition that is uniform in rhythm and in ABA form. Two funk duets (III
and VI) are included in this collection, containing the most syncopated and complex
rhythmic material of the collection. Influenced by contemporary commercial music and
jazz, 43 Seven Deadly Duets incorporates an extensive use of the high register in the first
part and require the highest level of rhythmic accuracy for performance.

mainly of quarter, eighth, and dotted-eighth/sixteenth notes. The composition contains
mild syncopation and upward glissandi scoops, is easy to negotiate, with the only
difficulty being two repeated sections. Published in score form, this would be a fine piece
to introduce to undergraduate students interested in the jazz style.

Intonation is the primary focus of this routine, but additional benefits include
concept of tone, flexibility, range, articulation, and slide technique. The majority of these
duets are possible with tenor trombones (without F-attachment). Vining requests that a
metronome be used throughout the routine, unless stated otherwise. It would be valuable
to incorporate these duets, along with the entire collection, into an undergraduate and
graduate curriculum. Additionally, this compilation of exercises could be used as part of
a college entrance/scholarship audition to test the students ability.

Conclusion
The purpose of this document was to investigate and catalog original tenor
trombone duets published from 19282006. The author was able to locate a total of fiftytwo original collections and works through OhioLINK Inter-library loan and retail
purchase. Included were eight works of medium difficulty (M), twenty-two of mediumadvanced difficulty (M-A), thirteen of advanced difficulty (A), and nine of professional
difficulty (P). Twelve require one or both performers to have an F-attachment. Thirtyeight works were written only in bass clef, with the remaining fourteen works including
tenor or alto clef. Compositional techniques used in the collection of works range from
traditional to the avant-garde.
Table B lists the works in order from easiest to most difficult. Instructors will find
this list useful for establishing goals for students as they progress towards the more
advanced literature.
