The aim of this study is to survey repertoire composed from the Middle Ages until the 20^th Century and then transcribe select works from the middle ages through the 20^th Century to Solo Tuba and Piano to see which type of work transcribes efficiently. The pieces transcribed vary from vocal works, to string compositions, as well as other instrumental pieces. Previous transcriptions from the Middle Ages to the 20^th Century were used to guide the transcription process and to learn the idiosyncrasies of transcribing for solo tuba and piano. The overall goal of this research project is to create new transcriptions for tuba using previously published transcriptions as guides to transcribe pieces. Composers have recently started writing for solo tuba as early as 1954 with Ralph Vaughan Williams Concerto for Bass Tuba. Since original solo compositions are a new occurrence, Tubists must use transcriptions from other instruments to play pieces of different periods.
