Arcadelt's Ave Maria by Jim Self is one of the most beautiful tone poems for tuba 4tet that I've ever heard. It has been in my tuba band's folders off and on for 14 years.
I've never heard a commercial recording of it but I know onw must have existed at one time.
Back around 1990, I waswatching the Clint Eastwood movie Play Misty For Me and there is a scene where he is in his apartment when the stalker calls him. In the background, there is a stereo playing and guess what. Yep, the Jim Self arrangement of Arcadelt's Ave Maria.
My wife and I looked at each other in total disbelief and said, "well, I'll be damned!"
