Program Notes
At last here we have an interesting and quite playable solo concert for the tuba, a too-often undervalued wind instrument. This concerto was written for and dedicated to the Portuguese tuba player Adélio Carneiro. Composer Carlos Marques, who wrote already some successful pieces such as Cassiopeia and Transit of Venus, warrants an accessible and excellent wind band orchestration.
