    Genre: Contemporary, Jazz
    TTTT

    Written as an encore piece for the Spanish Tuba Quartet, Blues for All begins with a virtuoso bass-line that marks the character of this short and funny piece, in which the four components of the quartet play frantic solos, showing their virtuosity and infecting a dose of positive energy into the audience. It is a well-received finale for any kind of concert. – Eduardo Nogueroles Learn More

  2. Cubes

    Composer: Nogueroles, Eduardo
    Instrumentation: Quartet Instruments: Tuba
    Genre: Contemporary

    TTTT

    Cubes is a suite of five short pieces for four tubas that reflect the impression made on the composer by some of the most famous pictures of the Spanish painter Pablo Ruiz Picasso, the greatest exponent of 20th century cubism.

    The works, belonging to different creative periods of the artist, depict scenes as varied as bathers on the beach, ladies in a brothel, a bullfighter being caught in a bullfight, an iconic and strange dance and the bombing of the city of Guernica by the Nazis.

    With these small musical pieces, the pictures of the great painter from Malaga are reborn by the hand of a quartet of tubas, low brass instruments that perfectly combine conventional sounds with sound effects produced with extended techniques so appropriate for this work.

  3. Divertimento

    Composer: Hightower, Matt
    Instrumentation: Quartet Instruments: Tuba
    Genre: Contemporary

    TTTT

    Composer Matt Hightower says, “This Quartet was composed in 2012 for the University of Texas Tuba Quartet. This ensemble was comprised of the four graduate students in Charles Villarrubia’s studio during the 2012-2013 academic year – Daniel Frost, Matt Hightower, Corey Rom and Cameron Warren. The quartet is comprised of three movements. The first, in three clear sections, is driven by several intricate syncopated rhythms that interplay throughout the movement… The second movement is slow and expressive. The final movement is based on a fast-paced groove and is meant to explore several strong idiomatic strengths on the tuba – loud pedals, smooth legato lines in the upper tessitura and a wide range of dynamics.”

  4. Kicking the Clutch

    Composer: Oberheu, Stephen
    Instrumentation: Quartet Instruments: Tuba
    Genre: Contemporary

    TTTT

    “Kicking the Clutch” was written for Shuko Kuramoto, Cathy Simmons, Tom McCaslin and Brett Nichols in 2001 while we were all students at the Lausanne Conservatory in Switzerland. The piece was written as an exercise in playing through constantly shifting meters; sort of an obstacle course for counting. It features one tuba as the driving “motor” of the piece, another tuba is the flowing meldoy line to contrast the mechanical rhythms; the other two voices are low register accents frequently in octaves. The lyrical middle section provides just a couple of moment’s breathing room apart from the other busier sections. The title of the piece refers to a technique used for drifting during auto racing that, although exhilarating, can be a little hard on the car.
