Tuba Part for King David? (Honegger)

Post by Z-Tuba Dude »

Hey folks,

Does anyone know if Honegger's King David has a tuba part? If so, on a scale from 1 to 10 (10 being Prokofiev 5), how much fun is it to play?

TIA!

Yes it does. Not sure how much fun it is to play, but I like Honegger's music alot, so i'd probably enjoy it.

Thanks for the response!

I was called to play it, but for little compensation. I was just trying to determine whether the "fun factor" might make up for the deficiency of $. Sounds like it might be worth it.

Thanks!
