3D
Composer: Grant, James
Instrumentation: Mixed Ensemble Instruments: French Horn, Percussion, Tuba
Genre: ContemporaryHorn, Tuba and Percussion
Jim Grant writes:
When I received the message from the Moreau VanTuinen Duo (Danielle Moreau, percussion; Danielle VanTuinen, euphonium) and Deanna Swoboda, tuba, that they wanted to collaborate with me on creating a trio for thier instruments, I immediately thought, “Well now, here comes some fun…!” In our initial skype meeting we decided that the new piece would be through-composed, ca. 10 minutes in duration, and would feature a blend of serious, crazy, and lyrical music; that I would fashion a separate version of the new piece to feature French horn in the same role as euphonium; and that we would invite a small group of adventurous colleagues to become co-commissioners of this new composition (see List of Commissioners page).
The result is 3D, music that touches on three distinct “mood dimensions.” A somber, evocative introduction leads to an explosive, rhythmically-charged, comically crazy joy ride, which yields to a rhapsodic duet between the two horns supported by an undulating moto perpetuo accompaniment in the marimba. That’s the piece, in a nutshell.
The three Lead Commissioners, Deanna, Danny (VanTuinen), and D (Moreau) could not have been more gracious and helpful during the composing of 3D, answering questions and offering feedback on sketches and ideas. Indeed, their fingerprints are all over this music.
The title, 3D, takes its name not only from the three distinct musical dimensions this music explores. It also represents a nod of respect to the three Lead Commissioners, whose excitement and support for this project captured my imagination from the very start. To Deanna, Danny and D, and to each of the stalwart participating co-commissioners, I offer my deepest gratitude.

Intrepideedoodah
Composer: Self, Jim
Instrumentation: Mixed Ensemble Instruments: Drum Set, Euphonium, Piano, Trumpet, Tuba
Genre: ContemporaryTrumpet, Euphonium, Tuba, Piano and Drum Set
Intrepideedoodah was commissioned by the wonderful SymbiosisDuo of Gail Robertson and Stacy Baker and was premiered at the 2014 International Tuba Euphonium Conference at Indiana University. It is recorded on the SymbiosisDuo “Playground” CD. Trumpet and Piano (and optional Drums) are added to the Tuba and Euphonium of the group to give it more color and textures. The Euphonium part can optionally be played on Trombone. Much of the work is written like a jazz ensemble piece with themes over harmonic changes with development and written or improvised solos. 6/4 is the predominant meter. I love to write in this meter because of all the rhythmic permutations. It freely goes back and forth between 6/4/ and 12/8. But any groups of 2, 3, 4 or 6 can be used in hemiola fashion. After a rousing intro the main theme is played in the Trumpet over Piano chords with Euphonium and Tuba counter melodies. Then the Euphonium (Trombone) has an improvised solo over modal changes in the piano. A tutti interlude is followed by written Trumpet and Tuba solos. The theme (head) returns and the piece ends with a fast coda featuring short solos by all and a splashy ending. Intrepideedoodah is a high energy jazzy romp. (one movement-7 minutes). The title is another one of my silly puns.

Mile Marker 78
Composer: Tanouye, Nathan
Instrumentation: Mixed Ensemble Instruments: Piano, Soprano Sax, Tuba
Genre: ContemporarySoprano Saxophone, Tuba and Piano
Completed in early 2011, Mile Marker 78 was written for tuba player Stephen Kunzer, who currently serves as the adjuct Tuba/Euphonium instructor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. This piece was written in response to his father, who died tragically and suddently in a car accident just outside of Plains, Montana. The piece starts out in a peaceful mood, illustrating the loving relationship between Kunzer and his father. As the piece progresses, we start to hear the tension build, as if foreshadowing the tragic event to come. In the 5/8 section, the tempo picks up, and visions of a car driving down the deserted highway in the middle of the night come to mind. Ultimately, we hear the car screeching to its final demise in measure 164, just as the car reaches mile marker 78. The long melody played by the tuba at the end of the piece represents some of the emotions that Kunzer felt at the time that he lost his father. This piece was premiered in March, 2011 at the North America Saxophone Alliance Conference at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, and has since been recorded by Mr. Kunzer.
