4th Avenue Suite is a composition set for three euphoniums and three tubas. Its inspiration comes from a vacation at North Carolina’s Outer Banks when we were staying in a rental house on 4th Avenue. The tunes are derived from a sequence of numbers used to open the digital door lock of the house for that week. The numbers, 3 6 8 2 4 3, are employed by their numerical placement in a musical scale. I thought: “What if; these numbers could be made into a tune (or several)?” The entire suite is not confined to these notes, but the tunes in the movements have grown out of this sequence. To construct several generations from a set of notes seemed enough, so no attempt has been made to relate the movements to events or situations. The movements are subtitled as follows: I. Intrada; II. Intermezzo; III. Minuet; and IV. Finale. The challenge level is Medium to Medium Difficult. All players are utilized in important roles and the composition offers various combinations of featured players, sections with just euphoniums or just tubas, and total ensemble. Learn More

TUBAS LATINAS (overture for tuba ensemble) is a one movement work commissioned by Earnest Walls for the Tennessee Tech Tuba Ensemble, R. Winston Morris, Director, and is dedicated to this outstanding and renown group of musicians. The work was composed between December 1991 and January 1992 on a request by Mr. Morris for a piece to be premiered at the 1992 National M.E.N.C. Convention in New Orleans (April 1992) and later to be performed at the International T.U.B.A. Conference in Lexington, Kentucky (May 1992). 

TUBAS LATINAS is scored for 2 Euphonium and 3 Tuba parts along with 2 optional percussion parts (Perc. 1: 2 claves and 2 cowbells, the latter to be mounted on a stand and played with snare drum sticks)(Perc. 2: 2 maracas and tambourine). The composition is approximately 6 minutes in length and contrasts Spanish and latin american musical elements. It consists of 4 sections in a slow-fast-slow-fast format. The first section opens with a slow introduction featuring Euph. 1. in a cantabile Spanish style melody. The second section, which begins at measure 18, consists of bullfight bravura type music which is occasionally interrupted by syncopated jazz rhythms. In section 3, which begins at measure 134, the opening melody of the introduction returns, this time dressed in different garb. A solo Tba. 1. cadenza leads to section 4. This section contrasts with the previous 3 spanish sections since it is in a latin style. This final section, which begins at measure 147, is as long as the previous 3 sections combined. A secondary theme from section 2 (meas. 68-83) is developed in latin style during the second part of section 4 (meas. 175-186 and 216-224). It is also in this section that the optional percussion parts are introduced. All players should ensure that the latin style rhythms are played effortlessly, never hurried or labored.
