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 player’s instrument (B♭, E♭, etc.). This version ensures a comfortable tessitura and expressive phrasing for solo performance.
