Description

from Charles Villarubia – soloist and Senior Lecture in tuba at UT-Austin:
“I love these pieces for so many reasons. They are in a perfect register for the contrabass tuba and can be a wonderful addition for jury or recital pieces for students who don’t own a bass tuba. They also put the emphasis on what to do with the works in a musical way as (in my opinion) they are more challenging musically than technically.”

Chicago area composer James Stephenson’s works have been performed by leading American orchestras, including an original score for the San Francisco Ballet, the Chicago Symphony, the St. Louis Symphony, and Minnesota Orchestra, and has been hailed by critics as having “straightforward, unabashedly beautiful sounds”. (Boston Herald). Additionally, he has composed for “The President’s Own” US Marine Band, and has written many works for acclaimed international soloists. His music incorporates a fresh and energizing sound scape that delights the audience while maintaining integrity and worthwhile challenges for the performing musicians. This rare combination has rewarded Stephenson with a host of ongoing commissions and projects.
