Hey everyone,

I have been looking for some fun duets to play with euphonium. I'm looking for something that is both challenging and fun to play. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks!

BVD press has the new "Dancing With Myself", by Barbara York, euph/tuba and piano. very nice piece, not horribly difficult technically but lots of music in there

Dancing with myself can be found here:

Just search "York" and you will get a bunch of Barbara's charts. I will post an .mp3 of the whole Suite shortly.

Look for a very cool duet book next month. There will be app. 10 duets in this book. 2 or more each from:

Elizabeth Raum
Barbara York
Lewis Buckley
James Woodward
Tony Zilincik

The book will sell for $20.00 and 100% (yes all of it) will go towards a fund for a future commissions similar to this one:

We are able to move 100% of the sales to a fund because all five composers have agreed to compose these duets free of charge. We extend our gratitude for their contribution which will allows to continue to commission new works for either solo or ensemble Euphonium and Tuba.

The page has not gone up yet, but all 5 of the composers mentioned above have composed new tuba quartets as well. Each of the 5 quartets will sell for $20.00, but when the page goes up until July 1, 2008 you will be able to purchase all 5 for $75.00. They will also all be available at ITEC for the same price and the Raum, Woodward and York will be premiered by the Willson Tuba Quartet at the show.

Wishing all well,

I've written two very short pieces that you might be interested in:

Pinchgut Jig – the 2nd part would sit OK for Eb or F tuba.

Deebee's duets are quite fun--so, I wholeheartedly suggest taking him up on the offer for the freebies.

hey, if youre interested i wrote a duet for euph and tuba. its a bit rough still but not a bad read. you can email me at kalish.daniel@gmail.com" target="_blank if you want to take a look at it

Five arias from Bach's Magnificat. Arranged for 2 bassoons or euphoniums. The tessituras probably suggest a E-flat or F tuba. And it switches into tenor clef in mid-phrase. But you can't beat the music. Respond if you want arranger/publisher info - I got it from my teacher and is my "work on this for lessons" binder at home.

The duet for Bassoon and Cello by WA Mozart is a blow, but worth every second of effort - charming piece!

Thanks for the favourable comment – they're certainly fun to write! More on the way when I clear the decks a bit. *touch wood*

cheers – deebee

Rex Connor (sp?) did a rewriting of the Mozart for 2 tubas. It's quite good. I really don't know if it was published, I had access to a MS copy for a while.

My personal favorite is Walter S. Hartley's "Bi-Valve Suite". The last movement is based on that immortal favorite song, "Barnicle Bill The Sailor". If your audience knows the words, they can sing a chorus with you.
