Tuba Solo - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1392428 By Elihu S. Conant-Haque. By Elihu S. Conant-Haque. Arranged by Elihu S. Conant-Haque. 21st Century,Contemporary. Individual part. 6 pages. E. S. Conant-Haque #975958. Published by E. S. Conant-Haque (A0.1392428). Chapters is a 7-minute long monologue for the bass tuba. The main theme is a connected line ascending through the most lyrical range of the instrument; in between theme statements are quasi-polyphonic lines which use the full range of the tuba to create the illusion of bass, harmony, and melody. The singsong nature of the theme invites rubato interpretation, and expressive annotations throughout the score encourage this further. A majestic theme appears briefly towards the end of the work, which the player should clearly convey as a brilliant and triumphal outcry. The final statement is a long series of delicate, uninterrupted arrpegios decrescendoing to ppp, and is best circular-breathed. This piece demands a high technical level and is for the advanced player seeking to expand their musicality.
