You can't have any more fun "Low Down" than playing the "Tuba Blues 2".

Tuba Blues 2 is a new work in a ?jazzy blues/swing? style for Tuba Quartet (2 Euphoniums and 2 Tubas) plus a Drum Set.

This work follows the great success of the first Tuba Blues by Henry Wolking.

About 5 1/2 minutes in length for advanced performers. Euph 1 & 2 have improvised solos and all the other parts get their share of the limelight in other ways. There is a set of parts for 1st and 2nd Euphonium parts with the solos written out for those needing a bit of help with improvising. An optional drum kit part fills in for a wonderful character piece on your next concert.

Anton Bruckner's Virga Jesse, Motet W.A.B. 52, for 4-part Tuba Ensemble was written in 1885 as a tribute to Jesse, the father of King David. The text is based on Isaiah 11 establishing Jesus in the lineage of King David.

The music is symphonic in breadth, but also harkens back to Gregorian Chant and Renaissance polyphony. As with so much of Bruckner's music, long phrases begin softly and mysteriously, building to giant ecstatic climaxes.

Robert Coulter has beautifully arranged this work of 4 minutes in length for performers at a moderately advanced level. Parts are all in bass clef for 2 Euphoniums and 2 Tubas.

What can be more fun than playing Christmas Carols during the festive season?

David Mathie has arranged 25 Christmas Carol Favorites for Tuba Quartet (2 Euph & 2 Tubas) in easily played keys, all in bass clef, in hymnal style, perfect for sing-alongs. Your congregation/audience will join in to help you fill the room or the great outdoors with the glorious sounds of Christmas.
