Does the requiem have a tuba part? Thanks.

The full orchestration (not the chamber version) does have a tuba part.

Yeah, Steve is right...there are two versions. make sure if you are hired to play this that they are actually using the version with tuba. it sucks to get a call a week before a gig telling you they are sorry, but the version they are using doesn't need tuba afterall.

I have played it in university orcheatra, and it was great music. The tuba part itself, has nothing really worth mentioning, but I did like the 3rd movement. In the 3rd movement, Domine Jesu Christem, at rehearsal 24, there is a low C marked at sub f would always turn into a ff and would startle the tenors and basses every time, because we were situated so close together! I loved doing it...
