...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...

Windows of the Past, from Harry Potter and the Prisioner of Azkaban.

What can I say, I'm a film score fan.

Also, Barbers Adagio for Strings and Agnus Dei, the vocal version.

And all of Eric Whitacre's vocal music.

And Rachmaninov's Prelude in C3 Minor. :twisted:

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.

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.

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").

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)

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...

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

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