“Jean -Michel Defaye's Sea Suite is a really nice set of six pieces portraying sea animals. Written for Bb Saxhorn, Bass Tuba or Euphonium, with Piano accompaniment, these six pieces are of medium/high difficulty. Each piece tries to re-create the main characteristics of the animal depicted, such as their weight, using the low range of the instruments and their speed, with the Dolphin being faster and lighter than the Sea Lion for example. The Piano accompaniment also uses numerous atonal chords. It features: 1. L'otarie - The Sea Lion, 1'35' 2. Le cachalot - The Sperm Whale, 1'30' 3. Le requin - The Shark, 1'20' 4. L'éléphant de mer - The Elephant Seal, 1'20' 5. Le baleineau ' The Whale Calf, 0'53' 6. Le dauphin ' The Dolphin, 1'20' The book includes an insert with the instrument-only parts. As a pianist, composer, producer and arranger, Jean-Michel Defaye mainly created pieces for brass and wind instruments. He won the Premier Second Grand Prix de Rome in 1958 and the Belgian Queen Elizabeth composition competition in 1959.&rdquo.

Composed by Roger Boutry, Tubaroqueis a melodious piece of baroque music for Tuba, Bb Bass Saxhorn or Bass Trombone with Piano accompaniment. Quite difficult, it would be perfect for advanced players and would work well in a concert. Starting with a small introduction in three measures, the first part of the piece begins on a Slow Waltz movement which consists of a main theme with two variations, including one played an octave lower. The second part Allegretto is more lyrical and the last one Moderato/Allegro, starts like a march to then go back to a more melodious finale. Roger Boutry is a French musician and contemporary composer who received eight First Prizes at the Conservatoire, including composition, conducting and Piano. He also won the Grand Prix de Rome in 1954 and some prizes by the SACEM and by the city of Paris. He also got involved as a professor of Harmony and director of Orchestras..

“Conc ertino by Eugène Bozza is a piece for C Tuba or Bb Saxhorn and Piano. Written in two parts, this work lasts 17 minutes and is very difficult to execute as a strong endurance and a high level of skill and technique is required. The whole score is in F key with some accidental alterations. Very interesting in term of melody and sonority, this piece definitely shows the full Tuba range at its best and is perfect for contests and recitals. Eugène Bozza won different prizes at the Conservatoire de Paris such as the First Prize for the Violin, conducting and composition, as well as the Grand Prix de Rome. He composed several operas, chamber works and ballets, among others.&rdquo.
