Adagietto, for Tuba/Euphonium ensemble (2007) represents an attempt to capture the great sonority and lyrical capabilities of tubas and euphoniums.  I composed this work for tuba octet with a choral style in mind.  This composition explores different tonal centers and timbres while weaving melodic lines throughout the ensemble.

The composition begins with the main theme presented in a euphonium chorale that mutates into performance by the full ensemble.  The work then modulates into the relative minor and builds to a tense climax.  After a solo tuba cadenza, the work starts again with a more optimistic and heroic character, ultimately crescendoing to a loud majestic statement.  The opening chorale appears again, this time orchestrated for the tubas.  The minor theme makes a reappearance, but ultimately fades back into the major tonality as the work concludes.
