About the music:
Drink to Me Only With Thine Eyes is based on a poem by Ben Jonson, published in 1616. The melody, likely of 18th-century origin, became part of English and American folk traditions. Its gentle and reflective character has made it a favorite for singers and instrumentalists across generations.
About the instrument Tuba in C (or B/E depending on transposition):
The tuba is the largest and lowest-pitched brass instrument. Most arrangements for solo tuba are written in concert pitch (C), but this part can be adapted depending on the players instrument (B, E, etc.). This version ensures a comfortable tessitura and expressive phrasing for solo performance.
