This is a gorgeous piece... and wonderfully performed by Mr. Bobo. I recently found the sheet music to play this in church. As it's public domain, you can find it here for free:

Schubert, Serenade - Swan song (IV) D 957

It's for trumpet in 'C' (with piano) so you'll have to read it down an octave. NOTE: The first page (cover pg) of the pdf has some weird margin set so I had to skip printing pg-1 and start printing from pg-2. Otherwise the some of the bottom staff of the piano is cut off.

I think it probably began as this song (Ständchen) though. (I first heard it sung by my daughter at McGill).

Here's where to get it:

Every time I saw him perform you always forgot you were listening to a guy playing a tuba. It was a sad day when I heard he was no longer going to perform.

A true virtuoso.

Serenade - Swan Song is an appropriate piece to end ones career. Go out while you are still playing impeccably.

One of the best posts ever on this board. Thanks, Joe. Roger Bobo's performance is an outstanding example of brass playing at its very best.

Thank you for the link. +1 to everything that has been said.

Listening to his vinyl recordings as a young tuba student had as much impact on me as anything else. His artistry is unique.

Sidebar:
(I'll never forget the time as a high school student when I went into my private lesson ready to play the hell out of the Hindemith Sonata cadenza. I had listened to Bobo's recording ad nauseam, but I hadn't done the work to analyze the rhythmic structure - basically trying to copy without understanding what I was doing. I finished the cadenza with the full assumption that my private teacher - Wesley Branstine - was going to dump praise all over me. Instead I got this "What the hell did you just do?" look from him. I learned more from that 3-second look than I learned from many full lessons.)
