elysian Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dscid Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Of course...if that's the sound you want to achieve... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austenite Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
