Beast! was written for Winston Morris and the Tennessee Tech Tuba Ensemble by the TTU Music Department Dean, Dr. Gregory Danner. As far as I know, the tune is not currently for sale. I would suggest either contacting Winston Morris (wmorris(AT)tntech.edu) or Dr. Danner (gdanner(AT)tntech.edu). Also check out the TTTE website (http://orgs.tntech.edu/tuba/index.html).
It was a fun tune to premiere. There are some intense solo parts with plenty of interesting material for everyone. For example, one section requires tapping (beating) a coin against another metal object (we were issued silver dollars to beat against the bottom bow brace of our instruments).
Good Luck!
