Tuba And Cello

Hi everybody! :thumbsup:

Are there compositions where tuba and cello play together (as in playing the exact same notes at the exact same time, not counterpoint or duet), providing harmony for a melody-playing instrument like violin? Both cello and tuba have a bass sound, so is it logical that they provide good balance for a high-pitched violin or flute?

Thanks,

El

Of course...if that's the sound you want to achieve...

That is, if you're aiming for a big, fat, bassline - and thinking a cello section, not a single cello which would just be drowned. Just be careful, as the tuba's lower range is deeper than the cello's (running into double bass territory).
