Composer: Paff, John
Instrumentation: Trio Instruments: Tuba
Genre: Contemporary10 Trios for Euphonium and Two Tubas is a collection of trios in various styles.

Genre: Contemporary12 Easy Duets for Tuba is designed with young or inexperienced players in mind who may have limited or no previous experience with duets or chamber music. Rhythms, ranges and key signatures are limited in order to accommodate the player in adjusting to the concept of playing in harmony, as well as developing mutual cooperation necessary in playing a duet. The selections are in a variety of styles, while avoiding faster tempos that could add difficulty without benefit. While written to help instruct, the duets are intended to be performable. A young player can feel a great sense of accomplishment when performing a new (to the player) kind of music, and duets can feel more “safe” than a solo to a young performer.

14 Concert Duets for 2 Tubas or Bass Trombones
Composer: Various Arranger: Self, Jim
Instrumentation: Duet Instruments: Bass Trombone, Tuba
Genre: Classical2 tubas (or 2 bass trombones)
or tuba/bass trombone with downloadable backing tracks (downloads included for both parts 1 and 2) – recorded by Zach Collins
Concert Duets is a collection of 14 arrangements of works by prominent 18th-century composers, mostly taken from Trio Sonatas. Duet 11 is a Jim Self original work in the Rococo style; and Duets 12, 13 and 14 are arrangements of the three-movements of the Bach Concerto for Two Violins. Included with this edition are play-along recorded tracks by tubist Zach Collins, who also served as editor of the current edition.
I created these duets as Christmas gifts for my tuba playing friends, with the first duet being arranged in 1976. All 14 of the duets are challenging and fun to play and are especially effective as concert pieces.
As a young musician I had the privilege of playing duets with many of the world’s finest tubists including Harvey Phillips, John Fletcher, Bob Pallansch, Chester, Schmitz, Dan Perantoni, Toby Hanks, Ron Bishop, Winston Morris and Tommy Johnson. I learned more about playing music in these duo sessions than from any other musical activity I have ever experienced. Duets are powerful teaching tools for learning and mastering rhythm, phrasing and intonation and for developing overall musicianship.

Self (b. 1943) is a Los Angeles free-lance musician, a veteran of thousands of Hollywood motion pictures, television shows and records, and tuba soloist on many prominent movies.

15 Tuba Trios
Composer: Paff, John
Instrumentation: Trio Instruments: Tuba
Genre: Contemporary15 Tuba Trios is a collection of fifteen pieces for three tubas exploring a variety of styles and ranging in difficulty from medium easy to medium difficult. The first part ranges to slightly above the bass clef staff, while the other two voices range to the middle and below the staff. These trios are intended to give players a fulfilling experience with this type of ensemble, which, because of the problems low register harmony can present, require special listening and dynamic adjustment skills. The trios cover a diverse set of styles and are designed to give each of the three players a part that is important and integral to the piece. As tuba trios are more unusual and unfamiliar to many audiences, these pieces are also aimed at interesting and entertaining audiences with the capabilities of tubas. Learn MoreAs low as $20.00

3 Medieval Pieces
Composer: Various Arranger: Zilincik, Tony
Instrumentation: Quartet Instruments: Euphonium, Tuba1. Kyrie - Plainchant
2. Cantiones Duarum Vocum - Lassus
3. Missa Dies Sanctificatus (Kyrie) - Palestrina
These three pieces were arranged for "Capital Thunder", the tuba/euphonium ensemble at Capital University. While the initial intent was to create practical arrangements for teaching, the pieces work equally well in the concert hall. The first movement is a plainchant Kyrie with the voices paired in octaves and unisons with each voice getting the chance to play with each other. It is a vehicle for working on intonation, but also captures the mysterious essence of Gregorian chant. The arrangement is true to the traditional call and response nature of the Kyrie. The second movement is a two-voice piece, again arranged so that all voices change pairings throughout. The third movement is a true four-voice setting with total independence for all parts.
