Vaughan Williams was by then in is eighty-second year; an interest on unusual instrumental sonorities was a feature of his music in the latter part of his life. He had used saxophones in the masque \u003cem\u003eJob\u003c\/em\u003e , vibraphone and wind machine in the \u003cem\u003eSinfonia Antartica\u003c\/em\u003e (Symphony No. 7) and even completed a concerto for harmonica, piano and strings for Larry Adler. So his choice of tuba as solo instrument was less surprising than it might have seemed, and he justified it by treating it seriously and poetically, emphasizing its lyrical capabilities rather than the more comic propensities. The work is dedicated to the London Symphony Orchestra and its then principal tuba player, Philip Catelinet, whom the composer consulted constantly throughout the writing of the work. The lively, outer movements both conclude with extended cadenzas, while the beautifully lyrical \u003cem\u003eRomanza\u003c\/em\u003e is Vaughan Williams at his best.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Faber","offers":[{"title":"Score \u0026 Set of Parts","offer_id":46627034300495,"sku":"0571564690","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Full Score","offer_id":46627036004431,"sku":"0571564682","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0900\/1828\/files\/f99ce47a0e28e97841442eae12ee118b.jpg?v=1788539605","url":"https:\/\/www.ficksmusic.com\/zh\/products\/vaughan-williams-tuba-concerto-arr-for-tuba-brass-band-faber","provider":"Ficks Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
