I am in search of a list of all of the repertoire that uses Wagner tubas. Do you have any information on this? Thanks! Liz Sievert __ Yahoo! Mail Mobile Take Yahoo! Mail with you!

Re: [Hornlist] Wagner tuba question
Off the top of my head, I only know of the following: Bruckner Symphonies Nr. 7,8,9 Wagner RING Cycle Strauss: Elektra Stravinsky: Rite of Spring Especially beautiful are the Wagner Tuba quartets in the 8th (3rd mvmt) symphony by Bruckner...heard it on DVD with Pierre Boulez and Vienna Phil.

Ah! Here's a chance to put in a plug for The Horn Call, the journal of the International Horn Society. William Melton did a seven-part series on the history of the Wagner tuba in 2003-2004. It covers all the literature up to now, as well as a lot of enlightening history of its birthing pangs and development as an instrument.

Re: [Hornlist] Wagner tuba question
Yes, d-daaah-dh-daaah-dooo - nice effective. But the most exciting Tuba parts are in Frau ohne Schatten (R.Strauss). Janacek used them also. I published 4 volumes of Wagner Tuba studies (excerpt books). Visit my Web Site to know more: www.pizka.de/Pizka-music.htm Vienna Philharmonic used the Wagner Tuba for Heldenleben Don Quixote. There is also a very difficult Wagner Tuba part in Josephslegende (ballet by R.Strauss), really difficult single Tuba part. But the first horn part is like hell. The last page of tzhe 90min. piece just high a2 high d3, the only piece, where I used the descant for the last page. Terrible embouchure killer, but fun to play up down up again (exception lasdt page). Really challenging. Still, greetings from Shanghai, 05:50 morning Thursday. Last night the skyscrapers were in the clouds, really. The opera house just 5 min. from my hotel at Nanjing Road is a masterpiece of contemporanean architecture as are some of the tall buildings like the pagoda style Jin Mao building with 420,5 m the Pearl Tower with 468 m. Exciting. Traffic like in New York. When I was here the first time 1984, cars were seen hardly. You could cross the main streets with closed eyes, but now - hallelujah - you get difficulties crossing at the zebras. And the food .. gorgious . abalones .. lobster termidor ... fresh fish ... no rice at the parties ... keeps you slim. People knowing me would not believe, I lost more than 32 lbs. since last August Played a perfect Long Call last night using a borrowed horn on the spot a borrowed mouthpiece. Just lucky. Because of Mao-Tai, perhaps. Another exception. = == On Wednesday, May 4, 2005, at 03:52 PM, Paul Rincon wrote: Off the top of my head, I only know of the following: Bruckner Symphonies Nr. 7,8,9 Wagner RING Cycle Strauss: Elektra Stravinsky: Rite of Spring Doesn't The Pines of Rome also call for Tuben?

There's a nice CD out there with some mighty fine Wagner tuba playing on it. Check out The London Horn Sound... http://tinyurl.com/8hfzm Several cuts (but not all) include Wagner tuba players in the ensemble. Outstanding! -- Alan Cole, rank amateur McLean (Fairfax County), Virginia, USA. At 02:52 PM 5/4/2005, you wrote: I am in search of a list of all of the repertoire that uses Wagner tubas.

I published 4 volumes of Wagner Tuba studies (excerpt books). Visit my Web Site to know more: www.pizka.de/Pizka-music.htm There are good Wagner Tuba parts in Strauss' Alpine Symphony, which I don't think anyone has mentioned yet. These require the use of mutes, as well. We are also doing a modern piece by Kurtag, (STELE, Op.33) which has 8 horns with 5-8 Wagner Tuba doubling.
