Program Notes
In the first movement the tuba enters with the theme at m. 23, marked “Jolly.” This theme is broken into segments played by the ensemble with interruptions by the tuba. A countermelody enters in the tuba part at m. 71. The recapitulation occurs at m. 203 followed by a cadenza in m. 257. The second movement begins with an accompaniment similar to the first of Satie’s Gymnopedies. In the melodic line throughout the movement are stepwise sixteenth notes. The opening of the Rondo beings has a syncopated rhythmic motif which recurs throughout the movement. Near the end of the movement is a tuba cadenza which ends with multiphonics.
