    Duet for Tuba and Piano

    Duet for Tuba and Piano  (1995) This piece calls for equal technique on the part

    of both players.  The middle section is all Tuba with the harmonic/rhythmic stability

    This is suitable for recitals and Solo & Ensemble Festivals

    Serenade for Solo Tuba

    Serenade for Solo Tuba  (1973)was written one afternoon as I tried out the two new tubas purchased for the college band I conducted in Bethlehem, PA.  Each movement focuses on one or two techniques, encompassing the relative playing range of the instrument.  Alter the tempo to faster for the fast movements, and slower for the slow movements to increase skill …
