Applejack’s “Tuba Lion Roar” version 1/3: Sousaphone.
A lion’s roar sounds closely similar to the tuba music-wise. Plus the inspiration of “Tuba Lion Roar” came from “The Tuba Tiger Rag”, but this song I’ll be making isn’t all jazzy and all that. Instead, it’ll be in a trance style and the tempo on 90. It’ll also be mysterious, suspicious, mystical and modern. That’s the origin of the creation of the song, “Tuba Lion Roar”, Applejack (or should I call her Applelion)’s tuba solo. Her roaring entrances on her tuba (sousaphone) will be a sudden glissando up and then down on certain measures to represent a lion’s roar. At some time or another, she’ll play some ad libs in the song.
