New song: Grom

Here's my newest song: "Grom"! It's a loud cello trio! I deliberately make the strings rattle a bit to get a more aggressive sound, which was a fun thing to fool around with.



This is actually an older composition: I wrote this one in 2012 to play together with the other cellists of the Kunstorkest, which I was a member of at the time. Since at the Kunstorkest we were supposed to play subtly and rarely truly loudly, I wanted to write something that's super loud and unsubtle, just for the fun of doing something different. At the time I never actually recorded it though, so I did that now and here it is! :)

Sheet music for this one can be found at music.joostvandongen.com. I've also made arrangements for violin and viola, which can also be found there.

PS. Until I took that photo I never realised how evil a cello's bridge can look...
