Hi all,

Has anyone ever played tuba on "The Human Voice" by Poulenc?
It's a short opera by him, with an original tuba part, but I can't find it anywhere, and due to play it in an orchestra in two weeks.
Have no idea what to expect!

Thanks!

I've played it. Nothing challenging.

Thanks for the reply.
is it more suitable on Bass or Contrabass tuba?

I played it on French tuba (essentially a euphonium in C with 6 valves). Not much low stuff, and the scoring is very light.
