Does anyone know has the Benson Helix been recorded?
I did a quick search but didn't find anything....
Also does anyone have an idea of how difficult the wind band parts are for this work?
(I'm looking for a work for a summer festival ages 12- 18).
thanks!

Hey tubabike, yes, I'm pretty sure Harvey Phillips recorded Helix back in the vinyl days. Never picked up a copy of it, so I can't help you there.
But Winston Morris, I believe, mentioned the recording in his old "Guide to Tuba Music" [title? -- 1970's publication], so you might pursue that avenue as a source of the original recording, or subsequent re-engineering.
Harvey was also re-doing a few of his old records from that era a few years back. That re-engineering project was mentioned on an earlier thread on this forum, I'm pretty sure. But that might also be a means of getting ahold of the recording. Other aficionados of Harvey "back in the day" could also be Gary Bird of Indiana U of Pennsylvania fame, along with Mary Ann Craig of Montclair State College, NJ -- or wherever they are now.
Wish I could be a little more thorough for you, but off the top of my head, that seems to be accurate.

Tuba Solos with Band Accompaniment
I currently have three early tuba solos with band accompaniment available: (1) Solo Pomposo (recording available on the recently-released Arnold Jacobs Legacy CD), (2) Down in the Deep Cellar (recently recorded by Kelly Diamond and the U.S. Navy Band), and (3) The Storm King. You may contact me directly, or check out my store on the auction website. Steve Shoop- stephen_shoop@yahoo.com; Stephen Shoop Music Publications. In the near future I will also have available The Happy Farmer. This version was performed by Bill Bell when he played (with Joe Tarto) in Paul Lavalle's Band of America.
