Your favorite piece of music....

[ZNC Dandy]

...That doesn't contain a tuba part
Hans Rott: SYmphony in E-Major
Bruckner: SYmphony No.3
Beethoven: Overture to Egmont, Symphony No.7, everyone should hear and own the Vienna/Kleiber recording of this. Maybe the finest thing ever recorded.
Ginastera: Danzas Argentinas, especially played by Martha Argerich, one of my absolute favories, such an inspiration.
thats jut a few that jump out at me for the moment...

Layla by Derek and the Dominos . My favorite rock song .


Sorry.... I couldn't think of any classical music I like that doesn't have a tuba or two in it .

[MartyNeilan]

Pretty much anything by J.S. Bach


Of course, just becuase he didn't write tuba on the part, doesn't mean we can't.

[Tom Holtz]

Layla by Derek and the Dominos . My favorite rock song .

Good pick. I spent several long hours learning the guitar riffs and the chord changes to that song. Still can't crush it like the London Trombone Sound CD.

I'll choose "Tres Deseos" off of Gloria Estefan's "Abriendo Puertas" album. Still working on the horn licks on that song. Can't help but feel good listening to that track. Close second is the audio clip of the "Hallelujah Chorus" floating around the Internets where the organist bumps something and kicks the organ down a half-step right at the big finale. That bad boy never gets old.

[The Jackson]

I like very much John Adams's piano work (My favorites are "China Gates" and "Hallelujah Junction").

Believe it or not, I really do like some of Steve Reich's music ("It's Gonna Rain, Part I", "It's Gonna Rain, Part II", "Come Out", "Clapping Music", "Piano Phase" and "Four Organs").

[rocksanddirt]

the girl from impanema.

pretty much anything by AC/DC (most of their music is amenable to band transcription, imo, and gives it a richness that two guitars, no matter how loud can't match)

[peter birch]

Of course, just becuase he didn't write tuba on the part, doesn't mean we can't.[/quote]

who else can that apply to? Schubert and Piazolla for two...

[The Jackson]

I also love The Aquabats (if you have kids and watch "Yo Gabba Gabba", you probably know them). They totally rule!


It's funny, the liner notes of their second album say that one of their trumpet plays sousaphone, but I hear no sousaphone on that or any other album...

[Davidus1]

Mahler's 5th

6 Studies in English Folk Song

The Morning Song

All Blues

.........too many to list now that I think about it.

[Easty621]

Dvorak 7.
Brahms 4.
Beethoven 3, 5, 7, 9, and 5th piano concerto.

[tubafatness]

I'll say it's a tie between a whole bunch of electronic musicians, such as:
Amon Tobin
Squarepusher
Aphex Twin
David Tudor, (listening to his "Rainforest IV" in surround sound is great.)
Karlheinz Stockhausen
Brian Eno

[ZNC Dandy]

Good responses so far, kep in mind however, this is music WITHOUT a tuba part.

[Brassworks 4]

"O Magnum Mysterium" by Morten Lauridsen - the original choral version
