About the Composer: Bruce Broughton

Bruce Broughton

Bruce Broughton has built a dual career as a composer for screen and concert hall. His film and television work spans decades of major productions including Silverado, Tombstone, The Rescuers Down Under, Miracle on 34th Street, and the Homeward Bound series, along with television themes for The Orville, JAG, and Tiny Toon Adventures. His accolades include an Oscar nomination, a Grammy nomination, and ten Emmy wins out of twenty-three nominations.

Beyond Hollywood, Broughton has established himself as a concert composer with works performed by orchestras including the Cleveland Orchestra, Chicago Symphony, and Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra. He serves as a Board member of ASCAP and has held leadership positions in the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. He is also a founding member and past president of The Society of Composers and Lyricists.

Why we love this

Broughton's concerto gives the tuba genuine virtuosity without abandoning accessibility. The orchestration balances a full chamber orchestra with the solo instrument, creating rich harmonic texture while keeping the focus clear. This is concert music written by someone who understands both film scoring and the demands of live performance.

What to expect

Broughton writes with orchestral sophistication and film composer's understanding of dramatic pacing. The concerto balances technical display with genuine lyricism, allowing the tuba to sing fully across its range while the chamber orchestra provides harmonic richness and color.

Who it's for

Orchestras and chamber orchestras seeking a substantial solo concerto that showcases the tuba as a lyrical, virtuosic voice rather than a bass line anchor. Conductors programming contemporary concert music written by a composer with deep orchestral experience will find the score immediately practical and the solo part genuinely rewarding.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the tuba's projection with the string section by working rehearsal tempos where the soloist can shape phrases without forcing. The orchestration supports rather than competes.
  • Coordinate the two percussion players carefully during rehearsal; establish clear cueing for entries and confirm which parts have been removed from this 2021 edition (timpani and large gong are no longer included).
  • Give the harp and piano/celesta parts specific dynamic attention in sectional rehearsals. These voices articulate harmonic transitions that anchor the form.

How to use it

Position this as a centerpiece of a contemporary concert or as the anchor for a program mixing 20th-century and living composers. The concerto's substantial length and tuba feature make it a natural vehicle for commissioning celebrations or soloist-focused seasons.

Skills your students will build

  • Balancing a solo voice against full orchestral texture without sacrificing either part's clarity
  • Coordinating multiple percussion players and managing revised orchestration details
  • Executing sustained lyrical passages at full projection
  • Ensemble flexibility across changing tempos and phrase structures within a single movement form
