Divertimento
Composer: Adler-Mckean, Jack
Instrumentation: Septet Instruments: Euphonium, Tuba
Genre: ContemporaryEETTTTT
“Whilst programming a concert of tuba chamber music for the Hannover Tuba Class, works were found for almost every possible combination of instruments, except that there seemed to be none originally written for seven tubas. Spotting this obvious hole in the market, Divertimento was commissioned and first performed in Tubissimo V in June 2012 by the members of the class alongside Professor Jens Bjorn-Larsen, conducted by the composer. A very substantial, highly dramatic work, this piece really pushes the limits of what is musically and technically possible, challenging any preconceptions of audiences and tubists alike as to the genuine expressive potential of a group of tubas.”

Gobsmacked
Composer: Grant, James
Instrumentation: Septet Instruments: Euphonium, Tuba
Genre: ContemporaryEEETTTT
From the composer:
Gobsmacked is 4’15” of challenging, good-natured fun and games for tuba-euphonium ensemble, commissioned by Pat and Mary Stuckemeyer in memory and celebration of their dear friend, the late Dr. Kelly Thomas. Kelly’s accomplishments as a dedicated teacher, celebrated performer, valued colleague, and-—above all-—as a devout family man were, and still are, inspirational to all of us who knew and worked with him.
KT’s humor-loving, community-loving, low-brass-loving, colleague-loving character had its roots deep in his role as husband and father. Gobsmacked cheerily recollects a bubbly, high-octane evening in the spring of 2013 that Mark Nelson and I spent with Kelly, wife Jana and their joyfully spontaneous and energetic kids: Janelle, Keljan, Joelle, and Kenton (this was a few years before Kelsa-Ana joined the energy field).
The megawatts of love and fun generated that night by Kelly and Jana and their children, had it been harnessed, surely would have illuminated the world, just as knowing and working with Kelly illuminated our lives during the happy years he was with us.
Godspeed, KT-this is for you.

Sorcerer's Apprentice, The
Composer: Dukas, Paul Arranger: Adler-Mckean, Jack
Instrumentation: Septet Instruments: Euphonium, Tuba
Genre: Classical4 Tubas or Euphoniums and 6 Tubas
Based on Goethe’s poem of the same name, Dukas’s symphonic work from 1897 achieved wide fame through its appearance in Walt Disney’s Fantasia in 1940, and in 2010 received a film spin-off all of its own. The original orchestration sadly lacks a tuba part, so now tubists have an opportunity to discover the complete score for themselves!
