The first edition of the L'Arlesienne Suite No. 2 does not have a tuba part, but there is a later edition that does. It is not available at IMSLP. I have the last movement (Farandole) but not the first three. If someone has this in pdf form could you please send it to me at kayak@pottersville-nj.us" target="_blank .
I'm also in need of the serpent part (or tuba transcription if it exists) for Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage.
Thanks,
Hup

Re: Need tuba part for L'Arlésienne #2
Are you saying that the later edition is Bizet's? Or someone added a tuba part?
Of all the movements, only the Farandole would seem to command a tuba presence --maybe that's all that was written?

I don't actually know anything about the later edition, except that I have a tuba part for Farandole. You could be right; maybe nothing was added for the first three movements.scottw wrote:Are you saying that the later edition is Bizet's? Or someone added a tuba part?

That tuba part might also be from a band arrangement. I remember[vaguely!] playing it long ago in a band.
I can find no reference to a "later edition" orchestral version.

Re: Need tuba part for L'Arlésienne #2
I'm not a Bizet scholar, but I'm not sure there's a later version that's actually by Bizet. I have a copy of a "tuba part" for L'Arlesienne Suite that is hand-written, with only 2 mvts - Carrillion and Farandole. I'm sure its not original and was added by an arranger somewhere along the line, probably because they didn't want to see a tuba player sitting doing nothing (and the double basses weren't being heard)
Interestingly, the Carillion is the 4th mvt of Suite #1, and the Farandole is the 4th mvt of Suite #2. The parts have much more in common with the double bass parts than the trombone writing.

I have no idea where it came from. Fortunately it is completely compatible with the orchestral edition, including rehearsal marks.scottw wrote:That tuba part might also be from a band arrangement. I remember[vaguely!] playing it long ago in a band.

If anyone thinks this part could be useful, I will email it.
