The Eagle Buzzard Suite trio for Tuba, Piano, and Drums. Shonima is the 4th piece in the suite and having a beautiful lyrical cello-like melody. Great for recitals or tuba conferences. The Eagle Buzzard is a regal fellow with a stately determined stride. His usual attire includes top hat (which helps to hide his sole strand of hair), speckled bow tie, large banana-like nose, black plumage, and Mondego cane to help with his long stately stride, bare ankles, and large tongue gaped boots which give a distinct rhythmic clumping to his gait. He is a very kind fellow and is a stranger to no one. His curiosity is astounding, which explains his various and sometimes unconventional adventures. IV. (The Eagle Buzzard Dreams of Home) Shonima As evening approaches, The Eagle Buzzard looks longingly at the silhouette of a full moon. He begins to miss home and sings, Shonima (“Twilight”), his native song.
