orchestral music\two tuba parts

Post by thedeep42 »

from what i understand, someone put up a pretty comprehensive list of orchestral lit that used two tuba parts (or multiple tuba parts) i've tried to use the search feature but am having a little trouble narrowing down the 5 digit results. maybe i just suck at this. can someone help me out?

Here is the link: http://www.dogandtuba.com/TwoTubas.pdf.

I'm always looking to add to the list, so if you know of any orchestral works requiring 2 or more tubas, please let me know.

You're correct. I'll post a corrected version in a day or two. Thanks.

Another slight quibble, but Prokofiev's Cnatata for the 20th Anniversary of the October Revolution requires four tubas and a tenor tuba....

I played 3rd tuba on this a few years ago.

Is Dvorak "Watersprite" the same work as the "Water Goblin" (Op.107)?

I have never heard the title "Watersprite", although could just be different translation?

Really just curious. Great piece of work getting the list together!

A little research show that Sprite, Goblin and Gnome are used in different translations.

It is th esame piece, the second tuba part is really a little pointless; I did the piece a few weeks ago and the only reason we used two tubas was because we were doing The Judges of the Secret Court just before it in the same concert. Second part has very few notes, in a little section in the middle of the piece, all of them either in octaves or in unison with the first part. In my humble opinion though, having played the piece I reckon that the second part is the one to leave in where the part is split if you only use one tuba.
