Your question has been a wallflower all day. Not much Delius done, so few people are familiar with his stuff. I have to admit I have NOT played Brigg Fair but have heard it on several recordings. It is one of Delius' bigger orchestral works, mostly sustained and ruminative in mood, dense in orchestration. However much the tuba may be playing, there's very little exposure. You're not gonna be getting Delius licks on auditions.

I wouldn't worry about range. D above the staff should not pose security problems on a CC tuba. And your CC will provide the appropriate ballast for the piece.
