PCC music faculty Dr. Mark Nelson, noted for many premieres of new works for tuba, gives an eclectic program of music arranged for tuba and written for tuba. Works include three short compositions by Edward Elgar arranged for tuba and piano by Ralph Sauer; and a trio for tuba, euphonium and piano called “Three Florida Orchids” featuring Dr. Kelly Thomas on euphonium.
The program also features the “Carson Cooman Sonata” for tuba and piano written for Dr. Nelson in 2007, a sonata by G.F. Telemann transcribed for tuba and piano by Ken Drobnak, “Impromptu” for tuba and piano written for Dr. Nelson in 2001 by Larry Christiansen, and the whimsical “Concertino” for tuba and piano by Rolf Wilhelm. Marie Sierra is the pianist.
