Edward Gregson - Tuba Concerto [Score-Video]

[@eniigma2943]

What a phenomenal recording of the piece, I have to say. Whoever the Tuba soloist is genuinely a man among men with that god-like tone. Absolutely breathtaking! edit: Thanks for posting this!

[@genquaza2733]

Thank you, Dylan Snellgoofy. You posted this pretty soon before I discovered this piece. As an aspiring soloist on the tuba who loves this piece, I listen to this recording almost daily. You have done me and 14,000 others good service, and I am now working on this piece.

Update: I’m in college now. I am practicing this for fun in preparation for the new year

[@GerardoArchive]

you can hear how inspired this was by Vaughan William's Tuba Concerto in F minor you can clearly hear it at 3:28 its the exact same rhythm but just written in C Major

[@권태형-z9i]

Also you can absolutely hear the quote from Vaughan Williams at 3:33.

Writing this for practice sake, maybe it will help another person too. 😅 *All the time frames are for tuba entrances, not exact measures. 1.) Allegro Deciso First Entrance: 0:31 a Tempo I: 1:17 Legato Section: 2:00 #6: 3:08 #7: 3:37 #8: 4:00 #9: 4:38 #10: 5:03 #11: 5:33 Ending: 6:17

una obra muy divertida, una instrumentación familiar y cálida.

[@SOBIESKI_freedom]

It's a lovely bit of writing when Gregson combines the first and second subjects of the first movement. Classy writing!

[@COTDBroski]

Does anyone know where to get the full orchestral score of this? It sounds phenomenal.

[@jaheedo]

i cant get over the fact the dynamics are written in what looks similar to comic sans💀💀💀💀💀

[@superanimegod1234]

Part A: 0:00 Part B: 1:40 Part C: 3:25 Part D: 4:15 Part E: 5:25 Mvt 2 Part A: 6:58 Part B: 9:02 Part C: 10:22

[@leonlinton634]

Excellent work from a composer I've never heard of! Gregson seems to struggle with arranging creatively for strings though it seems. It's not even that similar but the main theme reminds me of the "I Had a Dream" motif from the musical Gypsy every single time it plays 😂

[@smike9884]

I think the similarity to the Thunderbirds theme tune is quite strong.

[@tenor1190]

The original was actually composed for British brass band! The arrangement sounds so much better with a brass band accompaniment.

Hi Philip

[@aleostubasecftw]

tuba at 0:31

[@Alabamian_Schizoposter]

What key is this in

[@somebody9033]

well it begins broadly in the key of C major. But it modulates around a lot.

[@Alabamian_Schizoposter]

@@somebody9033 my bad I should’ve said what type of tuba

[@Alabamian_Schizoposter]

Like is it in CC or BBb

[@somebody9033]

@@Alabamian_Schizoposter I would have thought an F would be used for this piece - needs to be a lot more nimble than a BBb or CC can be

[@Alabamian_Schizoposter]

[@greendeane1]

I am getting tired of tuba solos being essentially the same. Bump, bump blast, fart, Squeak.

[@TylerRuhe]

I can concur with you. The tuba should sound full and resonant almost like a bass playing pizzicato instead of a sick old hippo burping and 🐘farting the entire time.
