Century. Score and parts.

Classics (CY.CC2752).
Four Kuehn
(Keen) Guys was written
for David Kuehn
(pronounced
‘keen') the
head of the Tuba
department at the
University of North
Texas. Professor Kuehn
asked the composer to
write a challenging work
for his class.... and he
did!
As a Tuba
quartet, all parts run
the gamut of range and
difficulty. It is also
very playable by four
bass Trombones and in any
combination of Tubas or
bass Trombones
thereof.
The
quartet is in A-B-A
format beginning with a
cute sounding march
followed by a very
beautiful lyrical section
and concluding with a
repeat of the march
section. It is a very
satisfying work to
perform and to listen
to.
The work of
about 4 minutes in length
is appropriate for
advanced performers.
