Holst Tenor Tuba Part
Do you think this exists? I have played The Planets several times but never seen a bass clef part for tenor tuba.
Always make a good sound; audiences will forget if you miss a note but making a good sound will get you the next job.

Don't worry about it chaps.
All this was about is that I am playing The Planets with an orchestra next week and I don't think there will be a euphonium at some rehearsals. I thought if I could get hold of a bass clef part I might be able to cover some of the tenor tuba part on my M-W 182 F tuba. From its size many people think the 182 is a tenor tuba anyway
Playing Bb treble clef on an F tuba I think is beyond me!
FWIW I will be playing the bass tuba part using my Neptune CC

You're reminding me of when I first saw my 182 F tuba (which was the first "real" tuba I bought.) I had it shipped on trial from Dillon's, and it came in a HUGE box. (box and tuba both totally intact, looking like all they had done in transit was sit on a shelf somewhere.) I had to dig around in that box to find the tuba....and then this amazingly small cute lil tuba came out! Woo! It was love at first sight, and I still have that tuba.Neptune wrote:Don't worry about it chaps.

The other funny story about that tuba is I was subbing in brass band on th 1st euph part (damn conductor did not tell me we were reading a SOLO piece for euph, but that is a different story) and I took my Meinl Weston Bariton, which is a 4-valve rotary that has a layout just like a rotary tuba. I heard a guy in the tuba section tell another guy that I was playing the 1st euph part on an F tuba. !!!! It was pretty funny.

The tenor tuba part in the end was (well) played by one of the horn players on a borrowed euphonium from a local brass band. I think he enjoyed his time on the 'right' side - hoping Mahler 7 will be programmed next year!!!

Re:
A few years ago I went to a Seattle Symphony concert where they played Mars. When I looked at the low brass there were only three trombones and a tuba (Chris Olka). When it came time for the tenor tuba solo, it came out loud and clear and sounded terrific. I scanned the orchestra and realized the principal horn, Jeff Fair, was playing it on a tenor horn.Wyvern wrote: I think he enjoyed his time on the 'right' side - hoping Mahler 7 will be programmed next year!!!

Re: Holst Tenor Tuba Part
Actually, the Torchinsky orchestral part books contain (or the first edition contained) a bass clef transcription of the tenor tuba part. There is another publisher (maybe Gordon Cherry?) who has most of the tenor tuba parts and a bass clef transcription included. Very handy in the Ring, there's nothing like switching transpositions in the middle of a page.bill wrote:Do you think this exists?
