The inevitable question:
How's the tuba part?
Bass or contrabass?

Hi Steve,
I don't know the answer but am very interested in any responses you get - we're playing it for the first time in October this year.
Cheers,

Contrabass - There are some lower passages with the bass trombone that are great together, and the contrabass suits it well. I did it with a 6/4 Nirschl and had many compliments about the section.
This is a work that should be played more often. It is some great writing, and hopefully, you'll have a strong chorus where you can play out.
shoot me an email, and I'll send you the part.
