Description
In 2018 Norm Pearson, Doug Tornquist and I played a Faculty Recital at USC. I wrote two works that were premiered at the concert: an original, Scrambles and an arrangement, the Haydn Tuba Trio. In my original set of Concert Duets I had done a duo version of a Haydn piece. It was called Tuba Duo 10 and was one of my favorites to play. (In the new larger Potenza version of the duets it is Tuba Duet 9). I decided to write a three-part version that shared the duet lines and added common harmonies to make it a trio, “It worked”. The piece is 4:00 minutes long and is a lively, happy piece sure to attract good players and listeners.
