Four Greek Preludes by Spillman

I'm working up Four Greek Preludes by Robert Spillman (for unaccompanied tuba). Has anyone ever played this? If so, have any thoughts, tips, reviews, recipes to share? Any recordings of note I should look into?

Thanks!

These are really fun. You really can and should play with lots of flair! I should try to find my copy. I am unaware of any recordings being available.

I worked on this a long time ago at Sam Green's insistence. Sam told me that "Bob" had consulted with him extensively on it. At the time I thought it sounded rather "hokey" in places, but in retrospect I think it was my approach as much as anything. So if I could provide any advice, it would be to immerse a little in Greek culture and surrender to that inspiration.

Put some Windex on it.

I know I'm bringing back a really old/dead topic, but would anyone happen to know where I can order the music for this? I'm planning on programming this into my senior recital next spring. Thanks in advance!

Good choice. For lack of a better term, this piece is the balls. I have no idea how to order it, though.

It's on the Falcone Tuba Artist Music list for 2011:

There's a link to Hickey's on that page (goes to their 2010 Falcone music order page, but after a few clicks, I wound up here):

Thank you very much! I actually ordered something off of that site yesterday, and I'm surprised that I didn't see it on there at first.
