The piece has been written out in two clefs - bass and treble for those players who only read one clef. James Mackie

Well done indeed
This latest work from James will certainly be welcomed by the tuba players of the world. Challenging yet always musical and interesting. Just what the doctor ordered. I believe some Euphonium players may also be intrigued! Nicely done James.

Masterwork!
What an excellent addition to the tuba recital music pad.I loved the opening semiquaver figure that becoms a feature of the 1st.movement, the haunting 2nd. movement which is quite busy really, and the lamenting waltz of the 3rd. sprinkled with just enough flourishes to spice up the solo line.
