William Perry has written a new suite for ophicleide and orchestra for Nick Byrne. It had its debut with the Brown University orchestra a year ago, and I'm surprised nobody posted about it. Or maybe I just missed it. Here it is now.

For those of you who do not want to drop the money for a real Gatrot, Wessex makes a good reproduction, with such modern features as a water key in the bocal and there is a quite long thread about it here:

What a fun piece. It is well written and well orchestrated. I just posted the links on Jonathan Dorn's Tuba Fan Page on Facebook.
