The three sections cited by Jason, Festival, Love Music, and Queen Mab, come from the "Orchestral Music" from Romeo & Juliet, and do not call for tuba. When Giulini recorded this "suite," with the CSO, he began with the Introduction, which is usually played only when the complete work is done. The Orchestral Music alone is about 40 minutes, but the complete work is a full program's worth, and requires a chorus and soloists. The tuba is a cameo player in this piece, but WHAT a cameo. Part I Introduction, and Part IV Finale. The Finale has several subdivisions, and the final chorus is in a very rangy B Major. I played the complete a few years ago off Kalmus material, no problems. But Kalmus is cheap, paper and print quality leave something to be desired.

There was a London Records video of Solti/CSO doing the Orchestral Music, also with the Introduction. Maybe still in print. Check yoour favorite websites.
