Tuba Excerpt - Invictus

I came across this march today and thought the tuba part was really interesting. Here's a program note about it: "It has been said that what John Philip Sousa did for the patriotic march, Karl King did for the circus march. King’s most famous composition is now universally known as the circus theme, “Barnum and Bailey’s Favorite.” King composed over 150 marches and “screamers,” a specific type of march composed during a sixty year period between 1895 and 1955 designed to work the audience at a circus performance up in to a frenzy. “Invictus” means unconquerable in Latin, which is a fitting name for this march, with its fast pace and escalating harmonic tension. It starts in a minor key and the trio section features familiar circus sounds, making this march a true “screamer.” Also, I'm playing a different tuba! I picked up this PT6 in March and have been loving it. For lesson inquiries, send me an email! [email protected] Or find me on Instagram @iamhunterkane
