This Encore edition, by Wesley Jacobs, is the only comprehensive version ever published for tuba and is carefully engraved to the highest quality standards. The many errors that exist in the old trombone edition are now corrected in this new book.The Bordogni Vocalises (or Melodious Études) are essential for all tubists. For many years tubists were required to transpose the Bordogni Vocalises (Melodious Études) down one octave from the trombone edition. Ideally-and especially when playing the high tuba-the music should be played "at pitch" as it appears on the page. Many younger tubists did not know how to transpose, and many advanced players did not use the Vocalises on instruments in higher keys. Therefore, much of the benefit of Bordogni's works remained untapped.

Guide to the Tuba Repertoire is the most comprehensive investigation ever undertaken into the literature and discography of any single musical instrument. Under the direction of R. Winston Morris and Daniel Perantoni, this publication represents more than 40 years of research by dozens of leading professionals throughout the world. The guide defines the current status of the tuba and documents its growth since its inception in 1835. Contributors are Ron Davis, Jeffrey Funderburk, David Graves, Skip Gray, Charles A. McAdams, R. Winston Morris, Mark A. Nelson, Timothy J. Northcut, Daniel Perantoni, Philip Sinder, Joseph Skillen, Kenyon Wilson, and Jerry A. Young.

These etudes transcribed from the vocalises of Bordogini have been specially prepared for use by the trombonists, to perfect their technic generally and in particular to develop style in the interpretation of melody in all its varied forms of expression.
