Program Notes: This Tuba Concerto was commissioned in 2004 by tubist, Michael Fischer, and the Boise State University Symphony Orchestra. It was my fourth piece for Dr. Fischer, and is subtitled “Wars and Rumors of War”. Since I do tend to write “concept pieces”, there is some programmatic content that proceeds through the development of its underlying musical and emotional structure. Contrary to what its subtitle might suggest, this is not intended to be a political statement about war, but is rather intended to be a philosophical and even rather intimate examination of the personal effect that this type of activity has on those who participate in it.

The notes at 6:16-6:22 were added in by Buzbee and are played an octave below what is shown in the video.

Wasnt expecting the jazzy bluesy portion at all! Sounds glorious, although holy crap the accelerando at the end is insane! I wish i was even close to good enough to play something like this for a live audience 😂
