Cocker Tuba Tune

Roger Sayer plays Tuba Tune by Norman Cocker (1889-1953).

Cocker was an English organist and composer, born in Ripponden, Yorkshire, and educated in Oxford where he was first a chorister at Magdalen College, then organ scholar at Merton College. However, he never completed his degree; at his own admission, he didn't do enough work. He was appointed sub-organist at Manchester Cathedral in 1920, and took up the Organist post in 1943. 

The Tuba Tune was published in 1922, and is characterised by a confident tune performed in chorus and, of course, on Temple's solo tuba.
