Best Arrangement Ave Maria and Amazing Grace

Post by Cobra1502 »

Looking for great arrangements of the above for solo tuba - no accompaniment. It’s for a funeral of a lifelong tuba player. The musician will be a very experienced player. Thanks in advance.

Not sure of what version. Most popular or sounds great for occasion. Piano or organ accompanied would be acceptable. I have listened to many but don’t have source of score or arrangement.

For an unaccompanied solo you don't re4ally need an "arrangement". Why not just download a notation program like Musescore (free and simple to use) and write it out?
That shouldn't be too hard if yiu know these songs. "IF" , "The musician will be a very experienced player" it shouldn't be too hard to make a musical presentation. Remember, KISS, it isn't gonna be show time.

IMSLP search Schubert, Franz Amazing Grace and download a score. I'm guessing this is the one you want.

Maybe make that Ave Maria instead of Amazing Grace? The guy's already confused enough! lol

The link I gave goes to Amazing Grace - the IMSLP instruction gets Ave Maria.

What is so confusing?

Øystein Baadsvik has a good arrangement of Ave Maria with a piano accompaniment its been awhile since I looked at it but I think there are only a couple of bars rest that can be skipped.

For Amazing Grace, if you go to Tuba4U, there is a version for Tuba, Organ and Bells. If you use the first and last section of the tuba part, you get a very nice solo that has some interest. I can confirm that the Oystein Baadsvik version of Ave Maria can easily be used as a stand alone solo.
