My Bonny Lad is an old Northumbrian folk song first seen in a publication in 1922. The first verse of the lyrics are:

Have you seen ought of my bonny lad?

Are you sure he's well-o?

He's gone o'er lang wi' a stick in his hand,

He's gone to row the keel-o.

Composer, John Frith has taken this beautiful melody and expertly crafted a "Theme and 8 Variations" of it for Tuba and Piano about 6 minutes in length and appropriate for advanced performers.



Tubists now have a high quality solo in their repertoire of this style.

Rossini's comic one act opera L'inganno felice (The Fortunate Deception) was written and first performed in Venice in 1812 and became an instant success, performed around Europe over the next few years.

The aria Una voce m'ha colpito (A Voice Struck Me) is a bass/baritone solo that was arranged for solo Tuba a hundred years later by British bandmaster, composer and cornetist, Colonel James Ord Hume. The Tuba solo went out of print quite a while ago but has been rediscovered and edited for solo Bass Tuba and Piano by Warren Ryland. This solo is featured as part of our Vintage Brass Series.

LupiCaelestia, Latin for "Sky Wolves" is another composition on the Imaginary Beings subject that fascinates the composer. This is the tenth composition with that title and is based in Norsemythology.

2. Hati - sky wolf that chases the moon;

3. Fenrir - father of the wolves Skoll and Hati.
