    Table of Contents Welcome Letters Pages 1-2 NERTEC Schedule of Events Pages 3-5 NERTEC Daily Events Schedule Pages 6-17 Biographies Pages 22-46 Dear Friends, It was in the seventh grade that the band director, Mr. Geary, decided that while I already played the piano and the violin, I was going to take up the tuba. I was the biggest kid in the school, unusually big at an early age, and this was not only pre-internet, but pre-fiberglass. Real sousaphones—the brass kind—weigh close to 50 pounds (at least mine did). It was assigned to me; I didn’t exactly choose it. While it was an arranged marriage, we did manage to fall in love. As college approached and even through my freshman year in music school, it was a toss-up between the piano (my other instrument) and my Miraphone 184. Two more different instruments have never existed. The piano has over ten thousand moving parts, requires a whole extra person to play in tune, and is for many people a cross between a piece of furniture and a typewriter. Not so the tuba. This is not something you sit in front of. This, you wrap your arms around and hold lovingly on your lap. The piano produces sound by hitting things; the tuba, we sing through, sometimes to the point where I couldn’t tell whether the vibration was in the tuba or in my body. The two become one. And on a good day, we can play in tune all by ourselves, thank you.

  • Northwestern University the Tubist's Guide to the Brass
    NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY THE TUBIST’S GUIDE TO THE BRASS QUINTET: A SURVEY OF HISTORICAL DEVELOPMENTS AND PERFORMANCE TECHNIQUES A RESEARCH DOCUMENT SUBMITTED TO THE BIENEN SCHOOL OF MUSIC IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS for the degree DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS Program of Tuba Performance By Thomas Walsh Curry EVANSTON, ILLINOIS DECEMBER 2015 2 ABSTRACT The Tubist’s Guide to the Brass Quintet: A Survey of Historical Developments and Performance Techniques Tom Curry Since the standardization of the modern brass quintet in the middle of the twentieth century, extensive research has been dedicated to the history of the genre, ensembles which have promoted and advanced brass chamber music and the growing body of original brass quintet repertoire. Such scholarship has provided practical benefits to performers and reflected the increased validity of the brass quintet as a chamber music entity equal to that of its string and woodwind counterparts. No instrument has benefitted more from the progress and recognition of the brass quintet than the tuba. Despite this fact, relatively little scholarly activity has been devoted to the specific demands and applications of the tubist’s role in brass quintet performance. The current study serves as a performer’s guide for the tubist in a brass quintet. Following a brief introduction, the second chapter provides historical context by studying several ensembles and individuals who developed the genre of brass chamber music and the tuba’s function therein. Based on writings, interviews and recordings of these and many other preeminent chamber musicians and pedagogues, Chapter Three includes an overview of equipment considerations and elements of tuba performance unique or relevant to the brass quintet setting.

Without their steadfast dedication to cataloging the repertoire of the tuba quartet in Guide to the Tuba Repertoire: The New Tuba Source Book, a document of this scope would be impractical.
