Just wondering what all is out there.(We can both play pretty well.) I only know of about two or so. Would love to do one on my community band concert in April.
Thanks in advance,
Zac

Look at the Handel Flute Sonatas. They are written as such that the tuba can play the bass line. (You'll probably want to play them down an octave) Handel conceived them as Flute and Basso Continuo. Filling out the keyboard part is really not necessary. If you get adventurous you may care to find a guitar, accordion, keyboard or xylophone/vibes player to fill in the chords. Then put a drum set to it.
Here is a link:

You can find quite a few more of these on IMSLP. (International Music Score Library Project)
Tons of free music.
Have fun!!!

Now that I think of it. "The Elephant and the Fly" by Kling. While originally a 1903 Carl Fischer publication it is now available through C.L.Barnhouse.

The title page says for Piccolo and Trombone, but it is very often done with Piccolo and Tuba and I believe much more effective in that combination. Somewhere out there is a recording with Harvey Phillips and Andrew Lolya with the Golden Crest Band or was it the Burke Phillips All Star Band. Hmmm. memory is fading.

Walter Hartley wrote a duet for flure and tuba. It isn't hard and an audience will enjoy it.
