I'm still working on it, but here is my list:
Vaughan Williams (Probably out of range for most BBb/CC players to play expertly, including myself - but we should all at least try to learn it)
Hindemith - (better have a great accompanist)
Persichetti - (tough to play well, tough to listen to)
Wilder - Effie (the most fun of the bunch)
Kraft Encounters II (fun for practice, tough for listener)
Actually, I see a good case for Rach's Vocalise,Arban's Carnaval of Venice, and Bach Cello Suites - they are all enjoyable pieces to listen to and have great teaching elements in them, but I decided to include only pieces written specifically for Tuba.
Thanks for the input and keep the opinions coming - there can't be any wrong answers!!!
