TUBAS LATINAS (overture for tuba ensemble) is a one movement work commissioned by Earnest Walls for the Tennessee Tech Tuba Ensemble, R. Winston Morris, Director, and is dedicated to this outstanding and renown group of musicians. The work was composed between December 1991 and January 1992 on a request by Mr. Morris for a piece to be premiered at the 1992 National M.E.N.C. Convention in New Orleans (April 1992) and later to be performed at the International T.U.B.A. Conference in Lexington, Kentucky (May 1992). 

TUBAS LATINAS is scored for 2 Euphonium and 3 Tuba parts along with 2 optional percussion parts (Perc. 1: 2 claves and 2 cowbells, the latter to be mounted on a stand and played with snare drum sticks)(Perc. 2: 2 maracas and tambourine). The composition is approximately 6 minutes in length and contrasts Spanish and latin american musical elements. It consists of 4 sections in a slow-fast-slow-fast format. The first section opens with a slow introduction featuring Euph. 1. in a cantabile Spanish style melody. The second section, which begins at measure 18, consists of bullfight bravura type music which is occasionally interrupted by syncopated jazz rhythms. In section 3, which begins at measure 134, the opening melody of the introduction returns, this time dressed in different garb. A solo Tba. 1. cadenza leads to section 4. This section contrasts with the previous 3 spanish sections since it is in a latin style. This final section, which begins at measure 147, is as long as the previous 3 sections combined. A secondary theme from section 2 (meas. 68-83) is developed in latin style during the second part of section 4 (meas. 175-186 and 216-224). It is also in this section that the optional percussion parts are introduced. All players should ensure that the latin style rhythms are played effortlessly, never hurried or labored.

Eclipse is animated, rhythmically intriguing, and suspenseful. The final movement, Panorama,is characterized by exciting, fiery sections juxtaposed with two short cadenza-like passages. Lunar Vistas received its premier performance on on October 9, 2005 by Edward Palanker at An Die Musik in Baltimore, Maryland. Learn More

Dedicated to the McCormick Duo, this colorful, engaging work juxtaposes mystical, lyrical, and energetic sections in a manner analogous to the ebb and flow of emotions experienced by the composer during meditation on the awesome grandeur of a starry night. From mystical, quiet murmurings to intense and brilliant forte passages, the music showcases the great expressive range of the flute and marimba duo. Recorded on the CD "McDuo Works for Flute and Percussion" by the McCormick Duo (Ravello Records) Learn More

Grind was written for the UMKC tuba and euphonium ensemble in late 2018 and is meant to represent the constant moving and turning of clock gears. The piece begins with the first tuba introducing the rhythmic foundation with the rest of the ensemble joining in to create a driving composite rhythm. Brief moments of jarring interruptions slice through the otherwise subtle material. Euphonium and tuba features follow, with the lyricism of the two instruments being showcased. A powerful triple-forte segment then transitions into a tranquil, chorale section led by the tubas. Quick fragments of the original material lead into a recapitulation of the beginning that slowly diminishes until the clock ceases to tick. Learn More
