“Why aren’t you playing?” the conductor asked.
“There’s no tuba part for An Outdoor Overture,” I answered.
“Yes, there is. I had it on my kitchen table.”
“Well, I’d be happy to play it if the part is here,” I responded.
“I’ll bring it to the next rehearsal,” the conductor said.
At the next rehearsal, the conductor approached me at the break. “I’m sorry. I looked through both sets that I have. They both say that there is an optional tuba part, but I couldn’t find it in either set.”
So, if there is a tuba part, optional or otherwise, for the original orchestration of Copland’s An Outdoor Overture, could someone please email is to me?
For that matter, if it’s from a “bandstration,” it might be possible to extract something to play. Thanks in advance if that’s what you have to email.

Re: Outdoor Overture
I thought it was originally written for band and the orchestra version is the transcription.

Re: Outdoor Overture
When I was a tadpole I had a few conductors that would invite me to play anything I could cover when there was no part. You can imagine my surprise when I got a little older and saw the rest of the world.
