I am looking for some duets for trombone and tuba, or trombone/tuba/piano.

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

If you like Bach, Allen Ostrander arranged 4 Bach Inventions as Bass Trombone/Tuba duets.

I've played these (on tuba) with a euphonium player and they're fun.

Conversation for bass trombone and tenor trombone by Charles Small works nicely and your audience will like it as much as you do as well....I did it with tuba and euph a few years back. Has lots of high D's for the tenor bone tho. Later.

If you are looking for a little more "modern" duet, there's a wild piece by Jeff Vidov called "Let The Metal Drop." It can be acquired through his website at http://jeffvidov.tripod.com/. I actually like the piece, but you may not be looking for something that leans toward the avant-garde.

There is a bassoon and tuba duet by PDQ Bach called "Dutch" Suite in G Major, which is a lot of fun for the performers and the audience. When I performed it, I had a very hard time trying not to smile and mess up my embouchure while the audience was cracking up. I think the bassoon part would work for trombone. The piece only costs about $10, you should check it out.

grab a trombone book and go 8vb or vice versa with a tuba duet book, thats what I usually do. If you really want to get inventive try getting a double trumpet concerto.

Dialogues for Trombone & Tuba by John Stevens is a great piece.
