Sicilienne Op.78 - Gabriel Faure Arr. Misa Mead - Euphonium Duet

£8.50
Reference:  SMBMSID
Stock:  In stock In stock
Quantity:

Here's a brand new arrangment from Misa Mead of the beautiful Sicilienne Op.78 by Gabriel Faure.

Watch Misa's performance of this piece on Youtube.

Sicilienne, Op. 78, is a short work by Gabriel Fauré, composed in 1893. It was originally an orchestral piece, written for a theatrical production that was abandoned. In 1898 Fauré arranged the unperformed music as a work for cello and piano, and in the same year incorporated it into his incidental music for Maurice Maeterlinck's play, Pelléas et Mélisande, in an orchestration for theatre orchestra. It took its final form as part of a suite arranged for full orchestra by Fauré, published in 1909.

The duet will work great for two equally talented euphonium or baritone (with 4v) players.

This is sure to be a popular concert or recital piece.

Blue Lake Fantasies (Suite in Five Movements) - David Gillingham - Unaccompanied Solo Euphonium

£15.00
Reference:  SMCAPBLF
Stock:  In stock In stock
Quantity:

Commissioned by The Leonard Falcone International Euphonium Festival, Blue Lake Fantasies is a virtuosic work intended for the professional euphonium player or an advanced student. Cast in the form of a five-movement suite, the work seeks to exploit both the technical facility as well as the lyrical quality of the instrument. Each movement is a fantasy and bears a name which could be associated with this Fine Arts Camp situated at Twin Lake, Michigan. Therefore, each movement is programmatic in that it reflects the spirit or image suggested by the title.

“Firefly” is a technical etude of sorts which simulates the lightning-fast firefly on a hot summer’s night. Sudden changes of dynamics and style in this movement are indicative of the elusive firefly as it darts through the summer air, sometimes flickering and sometimes resting in the grass.

The second movement, “Moonlight Across the Water,” is lyrical and expressive, capturing the emotion felt by the composer on many occasions while contemplating the serene beauty of a lake adorned by shimmering moonlight.

“All That Jazz,” the third movement, salutes the jazz program at Blue Lake with its swing tempo and stereotypical rhythms.

The fourth movement, “Ancient Native Air,” is simplistic and lyrical. It is based on the Chippewa Indian tune “My Music Reaches to the Sky.” Michigan has a rich Native American history and it seemed appropriate to include this wonderful old tune.

The fifth and final movement, “Party-Antics,” is a musical romp with cliché melodic patterns and rhythms. The music is intended to capture the spirit of celebration at a party gathering on the last day of camp. There is, however, a bittersweet wrinkle in all this fun: a soaring and majestic secondary theme reflects the sadness as new found friends depart from camp and go their separate ways.

Blue Lake Fantasies was premiered by Brian Bowman on August 12, 1995 at The Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp in Twin Lake, Michigan.

Three Fantasias (from Nos.7,8,9 from 12 Fantasias for Violin) - G.P.Telemann - adapted by Roland Szentpali

£15.25 - £14.00
Reference:  SMEB3F
Stock:  In stock In stock
Quantity:

Here is a brand new publication from Editions BIM, for solo unaccompanied euphonium, and it's the music of George Philipp Telemann.

The great Hungarian tuba player, composer and arranger Roland Szentpali has adapted these three fantasias for Violin.

These are sure to prove to be great stylistic and musical challenges to euphonium players everywhere, for the keen amateur and advanced players.

From the publisher:

The collection of 12 fantasias for solo violin (TWV 40:14-25) by Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1757) was first published in Hamburg in 1735. The Italian influence of the sonata and concerto is clearly evident. The fantasias no. 7, 8 and 9 selected by Roland Szentpali are the most suitable for adaptation for brass instruments, while the other nine make use of double-stopped technique, a rather Germanic tendency in works for solo violin.

We see this as a great new addition to the repertoire for solo euphonium; and very suitable for recitals, examinations and competitions.

Here is another brand-new work, beautifully produced by Editions BIM, by the American tuba player and composer/arranger Michael Forbes.

This is a very welcome addition to a genre that needs excellent new works. At around six minutes duration this work should be very popular at college level for recitals and auditions. It is challenging but not over difficult, with a range from low concert E to high concert B-flat. It is rhythmic and driving with some large intervals and superb use of varied dynamics.

It is certainly fun to play, and I think also entertaining for audiences on a first listen.

Here is Analyse and Interpret, a contemporary work for solo euphonium, part of the Leading Edge series.

The composer writes, "Analyse and Interpret was originally written in 2006 as a sister piece to Waiting For a Pain Hit!??!!? Along with ‘Pain Hit’ it was my first composition since graduating from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. 

The piece remained un-played until 2013, when several Euphonium players asked me if I had an un-accompanied work they could use. After a major re- working the piece, in it’s current form, was premiered by James McLeod at the RWCMD. 

Analyse and Interpret is written without bar-lines and without any performance directions - the aim for this being to give as much musical freedom to the performer as possible. Indeed, the title gives a concise explanation for my hopes for the piece - study it and make it your own! There is no right or wrong, only self-expression.”

This publication comes complete with composer biography and performance tips from David Thornton. The work can also be heard on David Thornton’s CD Parallel Realities (WOS079) available on this site.

Some years ago, Derek Bourgeois composed a series of challenging unaccompanied etudes for various instruments, that date back his time as Director of the National Youth Orchestra.

These nine pieces, specially selected for the euphonium, cover many different technical problems within a short time span and overall musical structure. They make for highly rewarding study.

These will be excellent for examinations/auditions/recitals.

Gestures II for Solo Euphonium - Gregory Robin

£9.95
Reference:  SMPM212
Stock:  In stock In stock
Quantity:

Here's a brand new work, in a very modern style, for solo euphonium by the US composer Gregory Robin, see his website www.gregrobin.net

Gestures are a collection of virtuosic solo works that exploit special effects, expansive range, and musical contour. Gestures II, for euphonium, uses extremes of range, percussive effects, and various manners of sound production. These devices are used as motivic cells that structure the overall form of the composition.

Notation: The x note heads represent key clicks. The indication for inhale and exhale indicates blowing air through the euphonium. This work does have an extreme range and that is its musical intention. That said, performing the work without the 8va is permissible.

I Colli Senesi for 2 Euphonium (unaccompanied) - Robert Groslot

£11.00
Reference:  SMGROS03
Stock:  In stock In stock
Quantity:

 We are delighted to be able to present this brand-new unaccompanied work for 2 euphoniums from a composer much in the headlines these days, due to his incredible Euphonium Concerto,  the Belgian composer Robert Groslot.

 This work is subtitled 'Homage to Dominico Scarlatti',  and is dedicated to Misa Akahoshi and Steven Mead ( who as you may know recently became engaged to be married!)

Robert Groslot wrote this short piece in the hills of Siena, which explains the title. It is a short two-part sonate, in a style which refers to the keyboard sonatas by Domenico Scarlatti. This is an ode to one of the most celebrated landscapes in Italy where Tuscany reveals its truest beauty but also a tribute to Domenico Scarlatti, on of music’s great individualists.

 It is a work which has its roots in the music of Scarlatti but given a wonderful modern touch of genius by Groslot.  It is one movement and in two repeated sections.

 It is supplied with parts in both TC in Bb  and BC in C.

 Highly recommended.

This is a brand-new virtuosic unaccompanied solo for euphonium,  composed by the Lithuanian composer Mindaugas Rarivanas,  born 1983.  He is also a tuba player with the Lithuanian Army Orchestra and several brass quintet's and lectures at the music School in Vilnius.

 This solo was composed for the young Lithuanian euphonium virtuoso  Algirdas Matonis,  now studying at the RNCM,  who performed this live at the ITEC 2012 in Linz, Austria.

 It places large demands on the soloist, particularly in the high range and some multi-phonics, but it's extremely warmly received by audiences when performed well. It is lyrical and at times highly rhythmic and also leaves a little room for improvisation.  The total duration of this two movement work  is about 4 minutes.

 It is a perfect solo work in a longer recital and one that really grabs the attention!!

Fandango for Solo Trumpet & Trombone/Euphonium - Joseph Turrin

£17.00
Reference:  SMUCA01
Stock:  In stock In stock
Quantity:

Fandango for solo trumpet and trombone was written on commission in 2000 for the University of New Mexico Wind Symphony for Philip Smith and Joesph Alessi. This six-minute piece explores the rhythmic, melodic and syncopated elements of the Spanish fandango dance form (a lively dance in triple time for two dancers). The work divides itself into three sections:

The first is a combination of lively melodic and articulated interplay between the trumpet, trombone and the piano.

There is a stately chorale that opens section two. The trombone adds itself to this material culminating in a short cadenza leading into the third section. Section three is a basic recap of the opening material, but this time the soloists work the themes into a canon.

There is a brief return of the chorale and then a fast coda reiterating the work's various rhythmic elements.

Listen to Joe Alessi and Philip Smith performing this great work: https://youtu.be/GTLxX3gxhbw

 

Duration: 6.45

Concerto for Euphonium (The Hallows) - Rolf Rudin Solo Part BC

£18.50 - £9.95
Reference:  SMURR01
Stock:  In stock In stock
Quantity:

'The Hallows' is sure to become one fo the most important new euphonium concerti of the last ten years. Rolf Rudin is very well known in Germany as a fine composer of contemporary music and has written several major modern works for wind orchestra.

Rolf was invited by the Stuttgart Phil, themselves champions of modern music, to compose a new work for solo instrument and orchestra and, remembering a promise he made to Steve several years before, nominated the euphonium as his chosen instrument. The orchestra asked for more details about this 'mysterious' instrument, and after Steve submitted a some recordings and a 'cheese-free' biography, the orchestra agreed to the choice of the euphonium.

Rolf had several meetings with Steve to check out various tonal possibilities of the euphonium, mutings, glissandi, tonguings,and various other 'special effects'.

The resulting piece is very challenging and will gave the Stuttgart audience on Wed. 21 November 2007 an imaginative taste of the possibilities of the euphonium.

Of the theme of the piece, the composer Rolf Rudin writes: 'In Irish mythology it's said that a group of ancient magical people known as the Thuata de Danean came to Ireland- they were the original Irish Fairies - and they brought with them four sacred treasures, called 'The Hallows of Ireland'.

So the piece has got a very mythical and epic atmosphere and the euphonium is something like the narrator or an old Druid who is telling the people something of this ancient and unknown time'.

The solo part for this spectacular work is now available in both BC & TC. Get yours today and your sure to be in for a challenge!! Who knows, one day you could be performing this with symphony orchestra !
