Tennessee Tech Tuba Ensemble to Perform at Siegel

The internationally acclaimed TENNESSEE TECH TUBA ENSEMBLE will perform in a free concert at Siegel High School on Wednesday, April 11th, at 2:20 PM.


The Tennessee Tech Tuba Ensemble is one of if not the most successful performing collegiate ensembles in history.  Recognized internationally as the leading group of its kind, the TTTE has an enviable record of twenty-five recording projects, seven Carnegie Hall appearances, two World’s Fairs performances, numerous national and international conference engagements, a forty-five year history of performances from Preservation Hall in New Orleans to the Spoleto Festival in Charleston to the Kennedy Center in Washington and responsible for the composition and arrangement of more music for the tuba than any other single source.  Founded in 1967 by R. Winston Morris, the TTTE and Morris established and defined the standards for tuba ensemble performance practices and have inspired the formation of like groups all over the world.  The subject of several doctoral dissertations, the TTTE most recently enjoyed wide-spread exposure via a nationally broadcast PBS documentary titled TUBA U: Basso Profundo and the publication by Scarecrow Press of “The Tennessee Tech Tuba Ensemble and R. Winston Morris: a 40th Anniversary Retrospective” by Charles McAdams and Richard Perry.  


The performance by the 25-member TTTE is free and open to the public.  A wide variety of music will be performed exploring musical styles from baroque music to modern jazz.  Of particular interest will be the pieces featuring outstanding soloists from the ensemble.  Following a rousing performance of the famous “William Tell Overture” (Lone Ranger theme of course) the ensemble will perform a Vivaldi “Concerto Grosso” originally composed to feature solo violins but in this case will feature Briana Engelbert and Nick Waycaster on euphoniums and Preston Light on tuba with the rest of the ensemble serving as accompaniment.  Patrick Curry, principal tubist in the ensemble, will be featured on the famous Spanish flavored “Adagio” by Joaquin Rodrigo.  Briana Engelbert, principal euphoniumist, will perform one of the most musically and technically challenging solos ever composed for the euphonium, “Harlequin” by the well-known British composer Phillip Sparke.  


Other compositions on the program are original pieces composed especially for the TTTE by composers directly affiliated with Tennessee Tech University.  One of the most challenging pieces called “Beast” was composed for the ensemble by TTU professor of composition Dr. Gregory Danner.  Several original compositions will be premiered and these will be followed by the very popular Leroy Anderson, “The Irish Washerwoman” featuring various members of the euphonium section.  To close the performance, the TTTE will perform a Spanish-Jazz piece titled “One More Time, Chuck Corea” arranged by the ensemble by former member Joe Murphy based on The Singers Unlimited unaccompanied piece by Gene Puerling.
