| Review | "The music of Carson Cooman is rapidly becoming known to audiences around the country and the world. With over 450 works to his credit, his music is being performed by major groups and organizations internationally.<BR> Divertimento for tuba and piano (2000) is a welcome new work to the constantly growing solo tuba repertoire. The work is dedicated to one of our great tubist/composers, Barton Cummings. Comprised of three movements, Allegro, Adagio and Vivo, the work is relatively short and easily accessible to upper-level undergraduate performers. The range of the work is from GG to d1 which is easily playable on either CC or F, but seems to lie best for F. The accompaniment is also extremely playable by most any pianist.<BR><BR> The first movement opens with a rhythmic motive in the piano reminiscent of a Native American chant. This feel is further enforced by the modal melody of the solo part. The second movement has more of a pop/blues ballad feel, and the third movement sets up a brisk 6/8 pattern giving the solo line a dance feel akin to the finale of the Broughton Sonata. In conclusion, it is refreshing to see composers of the stature of Mr. Cooman writing easily accessible literature for the tuba. It sometimes seems as though bigger name composers feel compelled to write only for the upper echelon of performers. Younger players can benefit greatly from exposure to works by masterful composers. It is my hope that more will follow Mr. Cooman's lead. Bravo!"<BR> --Tim Olt, Bowling Green State University<BR> ITEA(International Tuba & Euphonium Association) Journal |
