Morricone Tuba Solo - Once Upon a Time in the West

I saw this on youtube (Once Upon a Time in the West - solo Tuba and piano):
https://youtu.be/PIv1QOd_nkQ

It is one of my favorite movies. Does anyone know who publishes this solo or any of the Morricone western songs as solos for tuba? I would like to purchase them.

I did message the performer but the clip is 8 years old. An online search only showed Gabriel's Oboe.

Thanks for looking.

Yes I read that but was hoping that it had been published.

I've been looking for this too, but I believe it is not been published. I have a friend who did write out the part, but it isn't very playable.

Just an update. I received a reply from Alessandro Fossi
hi Rodger, in fact, there isn't an edition of this piece, because of copyright problems in Italy, only Morricone has right on his pieces. I downloaded a piano score I found on internet, I played the melody and I asked the piano player to play a better version of the chords
So it looks like I will have to write it myself. It is nice he took the time to reply.
