Does anybody know the grade level of this piece, and does anybody know of a CD with a recording of it on it. I feel like trying it out.

It is fairly easy, but does have a very short section that goes to D above the staff. I really like the piece. In many ways it is easy like a grade 3, but the range and some musicality issues rate a more difficult piece. FWIW, I typically use it for Freshman or sophomore music education majors in my college studio, or as a piece for learning bass tuba (although I think it sounds best on a BBb or CC). It is similar to "Lento" by Holmes.

Oh, ok that sounds pretty good. Thanks for the info.

Blair Bollinger, Bass trombone with Philadelphia, recorded it on his solo CD, "Fancy Free". It can be found here:
