After
the Second World War, Ralph Vaughan Williams wrote some of his most
experimental works. These include the eighth symphony, which includes
every percussion instrument the composer knew, a Romance for mouth
organ, and this concerto for bass tuba and orchestra. He discovered
agility and melodic potential in an instrument few others had
suspected, and created a work of lasting value. This is an arrangement
for tuba and piano, and the solo tuba part is also included on a
separate insert.
Selected as part of the ABRSM Tuba Syllabus Grades 7 and 8.
