This transcription by Eddie Sauter was done at the request of Mr. Harvey Phillips to conclude the First International Tuba Symposium Workshop on May 26, 1973 at Indiana University. Mr. Sauter gave the manuscript to R. Winston Morris and assigned the rights to T.U.B.A. (now, ITEA). Mr. Morris, T.U.B.A. Publications Coordinator at that time, included his manuscript copy of the Sauter manuscript on page 11 of the T.U.B.A. Newsletter, VOL I, No. 1, Fall 1973. Note for anyone who has a copy of this version the D in the first tuba part in measure 12 should be a D flat. Thanks to Mr. Jesse Chavez for making this correction and supplying this engraved version of Come, Sweet Death! Thus, as per the wishes of Mr. Phillips and Mr. Sauter, this transcription is “public domain” and everyone is encouraged to perform it frequently and enthusiastically. rwm
