Gravity – Tuba Ensemble

Description

Gravity for tuba ensemble (EEETTT) is a musical rendition of what goes up must come down. This rhythmically aggressive work features the attacking quality of the tuba through the use of hard articulations and fast double tonguing. Slight pause from the onslaught of motivic variation comes in the form of a five-part fugal section that brings “gravity” to its lowest point. The work ends with one final variation where high notes attempt to resist the force of gravity.
