Anybody ever heard of this? Tuba solo with band?

FackelTanz is German for Torch Dance. There are several pieces that bear this title. I'm not certain which, if any would have been done by the Sousa Band. Here are some links to a few:

This may be the one Sousa did as there is a Wind Band arrangement:

and finally:

I seem to recall a method book that I used when I was very young had a tune in it with this title. I have no idea what book though.
Hope this is of some use.

Thanks!

I'll keep looking into it.

The one played by the Sousa Band was definitely composed by Giacomo Meyerbeer. Here are 2 more links that may be of value:

This one is by Brass Band Berner Oberland and Sousa could have had the cornet solo done on tuba (speculation only)
