Sunday morning tuba

[SplatterTone]

If you don't mind, here is some Sunday morning tuba playing. I'm paying the hosting site for the band width, so I'm going to try to get some use out of it. If you have ever wanted to hear a 191 with a DEG Astro Nylon (which TubaRyan REALLY needs), here it is.

Instruments are: 3 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets, 2 trumpets, horn, 2 bones, 1 tuba.

First is an arrangement of How Great Thou Art. I was stuck at the back off to the side, so couldn't hear well and balance and intonation were difficult. So, the tuba ended up being a little loud ... which is a good thing, yes?? And not sure if intonation difficulties were me or others.

German or American sound? Inquiring minds want to know.

Something called Midnight Cry

And an arrangement of Hyfrdol with an active bass line. Can't hear the tuba well over everything else. But still, pipe organ pedals and tuba go together well. Best justification for sousaphones in church I've played so far -- now if I only had a sousaphone (or 24J). This is a fun piece.
