Solo feature for tuba - duration 8.40


This delightful tuba solo has become a firm favourite all over the world in its brass band, wind band, and piano versions (an orchestral version by the composer is also available on hire). Written for James Gourlay (who premiered the orchestral version in 2005) Capriccio is by turns bold and purposeful, broody and romantic. With a couple of short cadenzas neatly woven into the structure it is effectively a nine-minute concerto with a proven track record with players and audiences. Now available in versions for piano, brass band, wind band, and orchestra, Capriccio can be seen as an important contribution to the literature for the instrument.
