Bach Fugue ala Gigue Separate Tuba parts on Finale -finally!

I have created two separate tuba parts to the band classic "Bach's Fugue a la Gigue" by Gustav Holst. The original copy has stem up and stem down for the parts, but it can be very hard to differentiate which is which when you are booking along at a brisk tempo, especially on the second part. I have known many egotistical players to try to play both parts at the same time, but at Vivace the pulse becomes inconsistent from having to sneak in breaths and notes eventually are dropped anyway. I believe my parts are 100% true to Holsts' intention. EMail me and I will be happy to send you the finale files. If you can't view them, Finale Notepad is a free download from http://www.finalemusic.com/notepad/

Any other takers??

P.S. That tritone in meas 69 appears to be correct based on the originals, and also the comparable line in other instruments like bari sax.

I just split up the 1st and 2nd trombone parts into separate sheets on Finale, at the request of several of our bone players who saw what I did with the tubas. Any takers for those?
