Duh Suite (Tubas)
Composer: Self, Jim
Instrumentation: Duet Instruments: Drum Set, Tuba
Genre: Contemporarywith Drums
From the composer:
Duh Intro, is a fast contrapuntal piece with declamatory fanfares and a four-octave range. Then comes Duh Odds, a fast, relentless series of odd-meter measures with a variety of tom-toms providing a driving beat (don’t be surprised if you hear some Stravinsky). Movement three is a slow, jazzy ballad named Duh Fool Professors. The percussion accompaniment is all spacey metallic sounds (cymbals, triangles and the like), over wide-interval melodies in the tubas. Duh Blooze calls for lots of laid-back slippin’ and slidin’ and much trading of blues melodies and bass lines–while the drummer plays brushes. In Duh Yaz the tubas are called upon for some super acrobatics. After a scary intro, the group moves into a jazz/rock and samba feel for “the tune”. The middle section is a kind of development section with each tuba taking the limelight, after which there is a return to the tune and a fade ending. The finale is, of course, called Duh KoDa (an acronym based on the initials of the soloists). The music of this movement returns some of the fast scales from the first movement and more wild, declamatory material for all. Like all the movements, it emphasizes interesting and varied rhythmic patterns. The drums are to be played at a drum set by a musician who has jazz and rock “chops” and is encouraged to be creative with the part.

Noel, Noel
Composer: Self, Jim
Instrumentation: Ensemble Instruments: Euphonium, Tuba
Genre: ChristmasEEEEEETTTTTT
From the composer:
One of my favorite sounds is a men’s choir. Its rich overtones convey a lot of beauty and emotion. The closest instrumental equivalent is the modern tuba-euphonium choir–which expands those qualities with even wider dynamics and range. Christmas music played by this kind of ensemble is rich and glorious. For 35 years (from 1976 on) I organized TubaChristmas Los Angeles. As part of that I decided to have a 12 part professional ensemble (6 euphoniums/6 tubas) play special Christmas arrangement
s. The greatest LA players come out and each year I commissioned a new arrangement. Many talented writers wrote some of the hippest charts ever. In 2013 we recorded a CD of 20 of them. It is titles “Tis the Season “TUBA” Jolly, by the Hollywood Tuba 12 and has been reviewed as one of the greatest tuba ensemble recordings ever. Listening to this recording will put you in the holiday spirit and will be good for your nerves, winter colds and hangovers–kind of like a massage. Sit by the fire with a toddy and turn up the stereo. Surround yourself in the warmth of 12 tubas. You will sleep like a baby while visions of sugarplums dance in your head. This is Christmas music you can really “feel”. The CD is available on www.jimself.com, CD Baby and other on-line platforms.
Noel, Noel (based on the Fist Noel) is one of two arrangements on the CD by me. It is in a fast 3/4 with lots of technical challenges, solos, and arpeggiated figures by all. The chart ends with overlapping scales in all 12 parts and big octave pedal Bb’s. I owe homage to Tommy Pederson for this idea.

One of my two charts is the title tune, ‘Tis the Season TUBA Jolly (Deck the Hall in disguise). It begins with a lovely solo euphonium over a chorale-like slow intro and moves into a fast odd-meter romp – my Don Ellis influence. Modulations come and go with all 12 players having challenging parts. The odd meters return and the chart ends with a return of the chorale and a 5/4 finale.

Flying Circus
Composer: Self, Jim
Instrumentation: Brass Choir Instruments: Bass Trombone, French Horn, Percussion, Trombone, Trumpet, Tuba
Genre: Contemporary4 Trumpets, 4 Horns, 3 Trombones, Bass Trombone, 2 Tubas and 3 Percussion
From the composer:
Flying Circus was commissioned by the Pacific Brass Ensemble and was premiered in January 2002. It is a three movement work (fast-slow-fast).
Movement 1, Barnstorming, like its title, is energetic and extroverted. A fanfare intro is followed by soli statements in each of the brass families.
Movement 2, Castles in the Sky, is a slow ballad with many contrapuntal solo lines leading into a 12/8 waltz. The middle section features a tuba quartet. This movement was completed shortly after September 11, 2001 and is dedicated to the memory of the victims and heroes of that day.
The finale, Wing Ding, is a fast, odd-meter romp that features jazz solos for trombone and trumpet. The title, Flying Circus, comes from my other passion–flying.

Bottoms Up
Composer: Self, Jim
Instrumentation: Brass Quintet Instruments: 2 Trumpets, Horn, Trombone and Tuba
Genre: ContemporaryBottoms Up began as a piece for alto, tenor, bass, contra-bass trombones and tuba (for my Pacific Symphony colleagues)–and morphed into a version for 5 tubas and finally this brass quintet version. It begins with an exciting 1st section with technical challenges for all. It then turns into a pretty 6/8 waltz featuring the 1st trumpet, followed by more thorny challenges. The final section is “Latinesque” with some Mariachi elements. Please forgive my parodied ending—it refers to a funny incident I had in 1968 with John Marcellus and the National Symphony.
