There are at least two sets of the Warner collection. The one I have contains Carnival of Venice, From the Shores of the Mighty Pacific, Sounds From the Hudson and Bride of the Waves. I can't tell for sure whether it's set one or set two because I have loaned out my piano part. The transposition from B-flat treble clef to F tuba can be managed if you can imagine yourself playing a BBb tuba in bass clef. Thus a written C is read as first valve E-flat, which comes out on he F tuba as B-flat. It comes out pretty well once you get over the shock, but you do wind up playing relatively higher than the cornet player would.
