Research Project - Tuba Solo Works by American Composers 199

[micolatte]

I am working on a research assignment for my graduate level repertoire class, I am to give a 20 minute or so presentation on Tuba Solo Works by American Composers 1990- the Present. Just looking for some tips on finding lists of works, any works you think I should selectively include in my presentation (and why,) any other assistance you would be willing to offer.

Thanks and tuba-on!

Look for Darleen Mitchell on the American Composers Editions site. http://composers.com/darleen-mitchell" target="_blank You might find some others there as well http://composers.com/compositionfacet/results/tuba" target="_blank

Chris,

This would be a good resource to check out - most likely your library has a copy.

Hold on - you want us to give you composers/compositions and then tell you why these are good? Aren't you a tuba player? You're wanting us to do the research for you and give you an explanation of why such research is good?

It's your project, do some research at a library or ask a couple tuba profs or other music educators. It's all well and fine to ask where you could fins stuff, but don't try asking people to give you a rundown of why certain pieces are quality works or should be included - that's the research you need to do on your own.

I am doing research outside of here, thanks.

Thank you other guys for the help!

You probably could do 20 minutes on James Grant alone.

20 minutes?

You might be better off citing works for tuba before 1960 in that time frame...

Since 1990, due to heavy demand, there has been a boon in the number of works for tuba. In a mere 20 minutes, many, many works will undoubtedly be left out.

Most deservedly so.
