So this is my senior year and I'm in both band classes playing tuba in each. What I need is an easier low brass quartet for a chamber piece in the lower ensemble. I'm thinking a grade 3 because the first chair euphonium in that band said don't get anything hard because he thinks he sucks. So this is for me(first chair tuba wind ensemble with 7 years experience), the 1st chair tuba in that band who's played a year, first chair euphonium with 4 years experience, and the second euphonium who's played a couple months. Anything come to mind guys? Thanks

I remember doing a short little quartet in high school. I believe it was called the "Death of Ase". It definitely fits your criteria and might even be below it a bit. Had the same issue with a euph player. I believe it was a basic funeral dirge but it had some great moments in the progression. I remember it being in a book but that was about it. Sorry for the foggy memory. I would call my old band director if I had his number (provided his memory isn't as foggy or foggier).

I really like Stephen Shoop's "A Little Hymn." Easy parts, well-scored (spread enough at the bottom that it doesn't sound muddy), short, lyrical and quite beautiful. He sells it for 7 bucks on his site.

Tubazillia that is a Grieg. I LOVE GREIG. Totally gonna try to get that. If not I'll try a little hymn but i can't listen to it anywhere

That's exactly it. It's from the Peer Gynt Suite. I should've known that.

Thanks Tubazilla for the suggetion and thanks Carrol for finding it.

There's a nice tuba quartet arr. of "Loch Lomond" by Mike Forbes of Sotto Voce. It was featured in ITEA magazine several years ago as part of the 'Gem series'. It's a traditional Scottish melody. You can listen to this arr here:
