Yes, there is good literature for Tuba-Euphonium quartet or ensemble. I don't know where you are looking at, but Cimmaron Music and Tuba-Euphonium Press are two very good places to look. Some of the original literature I know of are things like Appalachian Carol by James Canter and Pesado Amor by Sean Green (I think that's how you spell it.) There are plenty more on top of that. There are also a lot of classical transcriptions of things like Adagio for Strings, Nimrod, Verdi's Ave Maria, and others I can't think of right now. These are just titles I have ran across in my participation in Tuba/Euphonium ensembles.

Very impressive. Really Enjoyable! Ryan

I agree that it sounds very pop-ish, but could be used as a nice change of pace at a small recital. I really enjoyed it! Keep up the good work. Ryan

Really nice job. I had no complaints about anything so far. Keep going and expanding!

Very enjoyable to listen to! Ryan

Congratulations on two excellent pieces! I really enjoy these, and I do believe that they belong in the Incidental music thread instead. Anyway, I thought both of these were really enjoyable to listen to. In Greem, there is no melody between 1:01 and 1:15, just low strings pounding downbeats. I would have like to see the melody started a little earlier, or have the chords change to cause anticipation, or use syncopation. These are just my opinons. You are the composer, and you are in charge of your music. Well Done, Mate! Ryan

I really enjoyed this piece. The only part I didn't like was measures 29 and 30. The trumpet part there would sound better in a live performance with double tounging, or even possibly in the "stoptime" section. I really enjoyed the piano part. Well Done!

Very enjoyable! I look forward to hearing more from you soon! Ryan

I really enjoyed this piece! As said before, this piece is very moving and powerful. At about the 3:00 minute mark or so, the low strings are delivering downbeats and eighth notes at the end of the measures while other instruments are doing like flourishes. In my opinon, I thought that there could have been more of a driving sensation through those and it would of added to the overall effect of the piece, but yopu are the composer and are in charge of decisions like that. Congratulations on a wonderful piece!

Very enjoyable piece. I'm not familar with Minimalistic techniques, but I am entrigured after hearing this piece. Well Done!

Well done, especially for a first composition. I really enjoyed. Simple chords and structure aren't always a bad thing. Music doesn't have to be complicated to be fulfilling. The only thing I didn't understand was the title. The music doesn't really feel like Rigor Mortis. Maybe if the end was a little more dramatic, coming to a stop, reducing the rhythm? (Upon further investigation and listening, I would be happy with the title if mm. 9-11 were, at least the musical idea, were used at the end.) Only my humble opinon. Overall, well done, mate!

I agree it's not just a battle piece, but it is still extremely well written and a pleasure to listen to.

Really well done. My main comment is that I feel that at around the 2:30 mark, when Will Smith enters the group of people walking, the full ensemble should have started there instead of the 10 or so seconds behind it. Also, I thought dynamics could have been used more. It always seemed to be loud. I would have either started with only 1 or 2 instruments playing, or would have used a full orchestra at the end of the scene. Again, these are just my opinons and feelings and the way I would have done it. The music showed a lot of consideration and thought, and really did convey the emotions of the matter well.
