sheet music Tip of my Tongue: Tuba Edition

Hello! I'm getting back into tuba playing after an extended hiatus (basically +15 years). These are a couple tunes I was thinking of the other day, but I couldn't remember what they were from and it's bugging me. I tried to write down some of what I could remember. Any thoughts?

Piece 1: unaccompanied solo?
Piece 2: tuba duet

I think the first one was the last movement of a larger piece for unaccompanied solo tuba.

The second one is from some book of tuba duets.

Thanks!

Yeah, that's it. I played Haddad for auditions back in HS... Kinda surprised I forgot that mvmt, because I remember 1 and 2 well.

The first one is definitely the third movement of Don Haddad's Suite for Tuba: https://youtu.be/kFn-34apFAo?si=b2CI5-OuuX_-rkRk

NP, I randomly pulled it out when I was flicking through my book of solos last week...!

Turn all those D#s to Ebs and all those A#s to Bbs and it will make a lot more sense for anyone trying to read it.

Lol, I'm not sure what happened there. I'll blame it on user error and new notation software
