Just to give everyone an update on these new pieces...

Six Pack is already available on the Warwick Music website. It is going for Â£5.95 (pounds).

Reciprocity should be available soon...definitely before the tuba conference in June.

"Also, the trombonist in the first composition seemed to perform almost effortlessly. Wow!"

The trombonist is Tim's wife, Jessica Buzbee. She plays Asst. Principal Trombone in the Iceland Symphony and is a member of Christian Lindberg's trombone sextet Trombone Unit 2000. She is absolutely amazing!

If you like her playing in Reciprocity, check out the video of her performing Christian's adaptation of Three Medieval Dances on alto trombone during the same recital/masterclass tour through the US.

With these guidelines, it was decided to structure the piece as an outline of the potential actions, moods or emotions one might experience during each stage of drinking a six-pack of beer. Each movement then took on the responsibility of not only conveying each particular stage in character, but also of taking the listener on an intense and somewhat specific emotional journey throughout the course of the work.

Nevermind.

These mannerisms/quirks in common recital practices... are they in the piece or a trait of the player himself?

I love the playing, I love the piece. Please don't take this as a negative comment towards any of that, his stage presence just seems very... non-traditional. It is just subtle enough to be taken either way.

Another example of how F tubas have no low range. NOT!
