OK, so for a solo recital program next semester I'm thinking of doing a "Film Music" program.

I know of some already, but I'm looking for the suggestions on the following that I may not have thought of:

-Tuba solos by composers who have written for film
-Solos (they can be transcriptions) used in film
-Music tied to film in some other way (through performers, arrangers, etc)

I'm open to any and all ideas.

Thanks, TubeNet!

My favorite, Broughton's Sonata. Great work....

Schindler's List.

A fun short piece I've always loved is the exerpt from Jabba the Hut in Star Wars.

Many John Williams film scores have signature tuba parts.
Jaws
Close Encounters - the Jim Self solo/improvisation with the synthesizer
Star Wars
Jabba the Hut
Death Star or Darth Vader themes
You could compile a substantial medley of Williams tuba excerpts into something that would range from serious to comical.

James Green did something similar to the first one of your options:

Saving Private Ryan...

Once Upon A Time in the West by Ennio Morricone

Is the connection with the Broughton that he is also a film composer or was it actually used in a film at some point?

Red Violin

The Broughton Sonata has no basis in film other than Broughton is a film composer himself. The tuba parts in Silverado are wonderful!

I love that song and I love that movie!

If you are looking for tuba solo works by composers that wrote for the film industry, there are a wealth of great tuba solo works written by Alec Wilder who also wrote for the following films:

Film Music:

• The Fall of the House of Usher (1928)
  Lot in Sodom (1933)
  Make Mine Music (1946)
  Albert Schweitzer (1957), documentary by Jerome Hill
  The Sand Castle (1961), directed by Jerome Hill
  Open the Door and See All the People (1964), directed by Jerome Hill

+1. After hearing Tom McGrady play it, I absolutely love it. (I honestly like the sound of it better on tuba than on violin!)

Bruce Broughton is a great film composer. Won the Academy Award for Silverado. I also liked his score for Lost in Space, Tombstone,The Presidio, Harry and the Hendersons, and Young Sherlock Holmes, among others. As a point of interest, he also has a background in the Salvation Army and played euphonium.

He has 126 credits in Internet Movie Database as a composer.

I heard the premier of his Sonata in 1978, performed by Tommy Johnson. Really a fine piece.
