The title Two Auras is a play on words. This arrangement presents the college song Aura Lee in two versions, first as a ballad, and then as a waltz. The melody is familiar dating back to the Civil War era, and also because of its revival by Elvis Presley who recorded it in 1960 under the title of Love Me Tender. Range is quite limited with only two high Eb's in the first part and other parts equally restrictive, making this an excellent ensemble for younger players. It is scored for three euphoniums or trombones, and tuba as a quartet, but also can be effectively used as a low brass choir.
