with Piano; “The Haydn” Refashioned for Bb trumpet and piano by Allen Molineux is a theme and variations based on the “Andante” of Franz Joseph Haydn's Trumpet Concerto. The title implies that the composer has approached the variations in a more modern (well, not up-to-date modern, just more so than late 18th Century) and playful vein. It should also be noted that while each variation is based on the opening theme itself, other parts of the Concerto's second movement materialize, as do brief cameo appearances of themes from the outer movements.

EETT

This collection of quartets is designed for players who may have had limited experience with small ensemble performance. The ranges are moderate and the rhythms are not complex. Each of the selections offer ensemble and solo or featured passages for all players. Styles, tempos and meters vary from one piece to another. Of course, more advanced players can certainly play and enjoy this set, but the less experienced can have some success with pieces that allow them to concentrate on the musical and ensemble aspects, rather than being slowed by technical elements. These are also designed for the listener’s enjoyment. Enjoy the quartets! Learn More

10 Trios for Euphonium and Two Tubas is a collection of trios in various styles. By utilizing tubas and a euphonium, a greater range is possible than with either instrument alone, while staying with similar tonal properties. All three instruments are integral in the construction of each selection, and each player is given opportunities to shine. The first four selections could be played together as a suite, but any of the ten can stand alone. The difficulty level ranges from medium to medium difficult. Learn More

Concert Duets is a collection of 14 arrangements of works by prominent 18^th-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.

15 Tuba Duets is a collection of pieces featuring a variety of styles, in a medium easy range. Each selection has a title indicating something about the character of that piece, and hopefully adding to the fun of performing and listening. While some of the duets may sound harder than they actually are, effort was made to avoid complex or tricky rhythms, while keeping the pitch range within limits. Learn More

15 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 More
