Navona Records has just released its compilation album for brass called Brass Tacks 2, featuring two pieces for solo tuba by Marilyn Bliss, Aria and Evocations. The latter is a four-movement piece and is a significant addition to the literature for this too often overlooked instrument. More information regarding the album with complete details on all the compositions, program notes, and links for purchases and streaming are available here: https://www.navonarecords.com/catalog/nv6556/ and a roundtable interview with the composers can be read here: https://www.navonarecords.com/news/artist-roundtable-brass-tacks-2/
