Does anyone know of any music for tuba and soprano (voice)? I have a friend who is a soprano and we would like to do a piece together. I appreciate any help.

I would propose that many pieces with a treble instrument first part would sound good if scat sung...

Rodger Vaughan wrote a great piece called "Have You Ever?" for tuba and soprano voice. I played it on my recital last year and it went over really well. You can get it from Tuba Euphonium Press.

I performed the Amato "Two Together" You will need a soprano that pick pitches out of thin air. There are times when the tuba plays above the soprano. it is a lot of fun and a challenge. Piece was well received by the audience.

I did "Three Songs" for soprano and tuba by Rodger Vaughan, with text by John Updike for my final recital for my Master's degree. It's a very conservative, doable piece. You need a mute.

What was interesting was that the girl who sang for me was a foreign student who didn't understand the jokes that she was singing. The deadpan effect was quite good, even though unintentional.

This work was written for me and Bruno's wife, Olga Sambuco. [At the time Olga was singing a Rhine Maiden role in Das Rhinegold with the Met]. We did two different preparations, IU 1st Int. Symposium and four years latter for my Carnegy Reciral Hall performance.

Both preps were supervised by Bruno. Very interesting because Bruno knew Olga's ability so well. All the soprano entrances were qued from the tuba part but it required some pitch memory and then wait for the tuba passage to end. In one instance the que pitch had to be "transposed" up a half step.

If you have a good Soprano (a Wagnarian is a good start but not necessary) this will be a very rewarding experience.
