Notes
Tuba solo feature. G.H. Reeves is a pseudonym, the arranger's real name is Louis-Phillipe 
Laurendeau. 
A history of this piece is provided by Mark Jones of Buffalo, NY:
In the tuba community, a Beelzebub is a solo traditionally passed down through the section. 
Catozzi's Beelzebub was the prize-winning entry in an 1886 competition for instrumental solos 
sponsored by the Carl Fischer Company. Andrea V. Catozzi was a well-known tuba soloist in 
the New England area during the late 19th century. He was tuba soloist with the band in Togus, 
Maine, until 1887, when he joined the Salem (Massachusetts) Band in a similar capacity.
