Tubacus Galacticus
Euphonium - Sheet Music

Tuba-euphonium quartet and drum set

SKU: P2.90026

Composed by Ryan McGeorge. Chamber music. Published by Potenza Music (P2.90026).

This piece was written for my friends and colleagues in "Off Bass Brass." My inspiration behind this piece was to showcase the group's versatility in a fun way. The overall sound of the piece is derived from a "rock" and "jazz" influence, showing techniques like pitch bends, and utilizing an extended range not commonly expected of low brass instruments. I added drum set to this piece because quite frankly...everything sounds better with drums. My biggest hope for this piece is that one day it will be performed by a tuba/euphonium quartet somewhere in deep space. I am honored to be able to share with you my first original composition, This piece was written for my friends and colleagues in "Off Bass Brass."
