I rarely see low brass arrangement videos like this, I thought it would be cool to share my added tuba part to Nick Camillone IV's excellent video. I made this the next day after watching his video for the first time so I didn't exactly put a lot of time into the presentation, I apologize for that! I also added my tuba part to his Fountains of Rome low brass video. Fun times!
Convalescence Suite - Alec Wilder - Part I
II.
The reason behind the title of this 18 movement suite is that the composer wrote this for his friend, Harvey Phillips, who was hospitalized during the first ever International Tuba Conference that he organized. It is written in the spirit of good vibes between musician friends even when recovering from illness. Here I am performing Part I of III, the first 6 movements of this suite.

I really enjoyed Nick Camillone IV's trombone videos so I wanted to share my added tuba part to make this sound more like an actual low brass excerpt. I put this together the day after I saw his Fountains of Rome video so I didn't have a lot of time to work on the video presentation. It was fun to do this!
Here's a link to the original video:

My videos on the subject will give you a simple understanding of harmonic progressions as they appear in music and how that corresponds with what you hear. Music Theory also investigates ideas of consonance and dissonance, how to read music notation, as well as analyzing why music is written they it is. It is based on observations of the entire Western musical tradition since the notation system was studied.

Low Brass Excerpts - Mars from The Planets
Collaborating on the internet and digitally mixing each others tracks made me think to try this with aged but quality audio tracks from before the internet's time. I was pleased with the experimentations of my new go Go XLR mini and putting that through the Reaper DAW to come up with these results. The legendary Chicago Symphony Orchestra Low Brass recordings are still the standard of low brass playing today and to test myself I have begun comparing my playing to this standard to further my musical journey.
The actual CD has way better sound quality than anything you will find on the internet, I urge low brass students to purchase a physical copy for a supreme musical experience.

Fourth movement Presto from Eccles Sonate (extrait du Premier livre de sonates pour violon seul et la basse) - Henry Eccles - Adaptation by Fernand Lelong
Performed by Americo Lara
This was recorded back in December 2011 when I was about to graduate with my Master's degree from the Cleveland Institute of Music. I didn't have a very good mic setup or even a decent camera but it was good enough to record, I decided not to crop out the mic feedback surrounding the recordings because this is just how it was created back in those days. I didn't have the knowledge or tools to try to make a professional recording here but I did find it interesting to dig back to that period of time in my life.
This movement and a few others were recorded the same night December 8, 2011 at San Antonio College.
