    Basic Repertoire

    The basic rep. list mentioned is very good I think I have eight of the nine pieces in my filing cabinet. The main tuba composer I would like to add to the list is Alec Wilder. His most popular tuba piece is the Effie Suite. however his Suite for Tuba, French Horn and Piano is fun to play. Another great piece by Wilder is his Brass Quintet #1. Each movement features a different instrument. The LA Brass Quintet recorded this piece and the NY Brass Quintet version is on the new Harvey Phillips Legacy CD. The Wilder catalog was sold to Shawnee Press (I think). This music is getting hard to buy a copy of so if you are interested, buy it while it is still available.
