Hi Tommo.
There are a cpouple of good pieces for tuba, horn and piano. My favorite of the two is by David Gillingham and is entitled Divertimento for Horn, Tuba and Piano. Five movements...very rhythmic, pretty rangey and technically demanding. There is a killer recording of this on Phil Sinder's solo CD.
The other tune is the Suite for Horn, Tuba and Piano by Alec Wilder. It has been around for a long time and has stood the test of time. Also five movements...typical Wilder writing. The first time I did it, I was all gung-ho after rehearsing with my horn buddy, but the piano part threw me some really wierd curves! It is not as tough as the Gillingham, nor is it as good a piece.
Hope this helps! Good luck.
