This exciting, fresh solo for tuba and band accompanied is relatively unknown in the United States, although it is popular in European Brass Band circles. The tuba solo part requires a very advanced player, with a wide range and fluid technique. The band parts are written at a Grade 4 or 4.5 level of difficulty, and include brief solos for several instruments. Multiple time signature changes, rapid harmonic shifts, and moments of technical challenges for most band players will require an investment of rehearsal time in this roughly 8 minute work. However, the reward will be a vibrant performance by the band, a truly different musical experience for the audience, and a chance to inspire the low brass players by featuring a tuba soloist. Thomas Bough performed the as the soloist at the initial performance of this arrangement with Oswego High School (Oswego, Illinois) in 2008.
