Your recital music

Don't confine yourself to just tuba solos with piano accompaniment. Use a variety of combinations--other instruments, mulitiple tubas, etc. Even tuba alone. The work I did by Rodger Vaughan in my final Master's Recital was a solo for soprano voice with tuba accompaniment. Let your audience (and the faculty jury, if this is an academic recital) see that the tuba can do many things.

So can anyone suggest a piece with Tuba solo and an "odd" accompaniment?

I would sure be interested in tuba with... banjo, guitar (or similar stringed instruments)... how about accordion, or organ? Harp? Xylophone or Marimba?

Don't try to be odd. Be a tuba player but use the resources you have. I used Winston Morris's old Tuba Music Guide to help me find music. You can also check the Robert King catalog.

I found a piece by Koetsier, Galgenlieder, for soprano and Tuba, and found Mike Forbes' CD, what a beautiful piece! It's definitely going on my recital! Found it on Robert King's website, thanks LoyalTubist!

I don't think he wants to be odd, I just think he wants to play something different than the same old tuba and piano stuff.

I would replace "odd" with "unique, interesting and original."

Yeah, by "odd" I was pretty much talking about anything with solo tuba and NOT piano... but the Koetsier soprano/tuba songs sound REALLY good!

Do a baroque sonata arranged by your teacher Mr. Morris ( i assume UT in your case is tennesee tech) and have the accompaniment be on harpischord...that would be cool.

I played a baroque piece last fall and my teacher actually wanted to do that, but our harpischord is broken

Ah, that would be neat. I'll keep that in mind!

BTW, Sande MacMorran teaches at UT.

Then play a standard Sonata like the beeversdorf or the hartley, then before intermission play a full concerto

After intermission, play something like the hindemith or encounters II, and end up with a cool piece like the plog minatures

How many recitals have you had?
