Upper Level Highschool Solo w/ Orch accomp.

Post by LukeIam »

I am a junior in high school and I recently found out that I auditioned into an orchestra camp for the summer. They have a concerto competition and I am on the hunt for a solo manageable on C tuba that has an orchestra accompaniment.

I am performing at a pretty high level for my age and need something learnable in around a month and a half. It has to have a pretty readily available orchestra part as well while not sitting above the staff for too too long (I will be able to work some super Es out :tuba: ).

My current top (and really only) choice is the Gregson although I am very much open to other options (treble clef included).

Gregson is a good choice. Lebedev Concerto in One Movement also lies well on CC.
