Composed by F. Leslie Smith. Arranged by Sweetwater Brass Press. Folk,Traditional. Score and parts. 58 pages. Sweetwater Brass Press #482587. Published by Sweetwater Brass Press (A0.808625). This novelty is great as either a featured number or as an encore. It is upbeat, a medley of turn-of-the-last-century tunes that, in the tradition of Haydn’s "Farewell" Symphony (No. 45 in F-sharp minor), provides opportunity for four musicians to leave, one by one, until only Tuba remains. It opens at a fast clip with a statement of "Good-Night, Ladies" followed by a four-measure vamp that is subsequently repeated after nearly every section. First, horn and tuba perform "There is a Tavern in the Town." Second, trombone and trumpets combine to ask, "Bill Bailey, Won’t You Please Come Home." Third is a close-harmony, ensemble version of "Goin’ Home." Fourth features exchanges between trumpets and low brass in "Toot, Toot, Tootsie!" Fifth is an amalgam of all the tunes; this is played four times, each time featuring a different instrument, which then drops out for the rest of the number. The tuba ends the piece and takes a bow.
