Chrome Heart is an exciting new work for bass trombone that will work excellently as the cornerstone of your next recital. Selected for the 2024 International Trombone Festival Composers Workshop, this piece grabs your attention from beginning to end with pounding low notes, expressive lines, and blazing technique in between.

The composer states “Chrome Heart was created during a time where I had many tribulations occur in close succession to one another. I found myself in scenarios where I couldn’t let those tribulations cloud my judgement or influence my quality of character for the greater good of what I needed to get done. I titled this piece Chrome Heart representing the overall character of me seeming “fine” to others to function in my environment while on the inside a whirlwind of thoughts and feelings were circulating about many different situations.”
