Pavanne pour une infante defunte - Ravel Arr V.Lisjak - for Solo Euphonium and Brass Choir |
|
|
In stockThe arranger writes: The idea of arranging this piece for large brass ensemble was a result of my intention to present Steven Mead’s lyrical qualities and the huge potential of his rich and colorful sound to a Croatian audience when he was a guest soloist in Zagreb. While we spoke about the program for the concert, I mentioned Ravel’s Pavane as a nice addition to my Concerto and the other Pavane (one by Faure, for solo euphonium and harp), and Steven supported the idea instantly, as it turned out that this piece was his favorite in his early euphonium soloist days. As he soon became a world famous virtuoso, where listeners constantly asked for higher and faster bravuras, I gladly used my chance to present the forgotten poetic and warm side of the euphonium. I avoided the fashionable stereotypes of many of today’s composers–making an artist break his fingers or lips by choosing extra fast pieces originally for violin or flute and arranging it for tuba.
The inspiring challenge was to create the atmosphere present in Ravel’s own orchestration of this piece, where no instrument plays a typical solo role. It wasn’t easy to achieve so many colors without strings and woodwinds. Yet, here we have the euphonium as a lead voice while it is also well incorporated into vertical blocks with french horns, trombones, and trumpets. Full symphony sized brass sections fuction here mainly to provide harmonic body, with the great percussive and melodic help of marimba and vibraphone. The result is an arrangement that is demanding in a sense of creating the right flow (not too slow – as Ravel hated it this way). Pavane is, after all, a dance.
A recording of this arrangment can be found on Bocchino’s CD release “Croatian Euphonic Brass,” together with a recording of another publication by Potenza, an arrangement of the Pavane by G. Faure, presented on this CD in the best possible way–by Steven Mead, who inspired me to try to give these masterpieces new shape.

Pulse - Thomas Doss - Euphonium and Wind Orchestra/Harmonie/Concert Band |
|
|
Just arrived at the store is this fantastic new solo by the Austrian composer, Thomas Doss.
The composer writes: Pulse, a solo work which was originally written for euphonium (or baritone) and wind orchestra. As the title suggests this piece is very rhythmic nature, Pulse represents a life and vitality, which also characterises the work. The tempo remains virtually constant throughout the piece. Even during the cadenza, played by euphonium, the pulse continues to beat steadily.
This work is dedicated to the young baritone soloist Felix Geroldinger from Upper Austria.
You can watch Felix performing it here with the SBO Wind Orchestra from Upper Austria https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se-TjZVOEew, and it can also be heard on the CD of the same name, Pulse, played by Steven Mead and the Belgium Air Force band

Adagio Op.85 (from the Cello Concerto) - Edward Elgar Arr. Eric Wilson - euphonium and piano |
|
|
Here is one of the famous slow movements form the world of music, the slow movement, from the Elgar Cello Concerto, arranged for the first time for euphonium and piano.
"Elgar completed his last major work, the Cello Concerto Op. 85, in 1990 in Brinkwells, the thatched cottage in Sussex overlooking the South Downs he was renting at the time. Composed in the aftermath of the great war, it has to be said that this is music for a lost world. In this, the third movement, time certainly seems to almost standstill. It is imbued with elegant melancholy, perhaps also pain, and ultimately resignation.
In transcribing the piece for euphonium, (a perfect fifth lower than the original key) there have been various active displacements in both solo part and the piano accompaniment. As Elgar did in his orchestration, I have tried to create a texture where the soloist is not overpowered by the accompani but soloist and accompanies should work closely together. Bear in mind that accents and dynamics are relative and should never be overdone. Elgar frequently uses tiny nuances in dynamics, crescendos and so on, so I'd urge performance to listen closely to some of the worlds greatest cists.
Erik Wilson
This is undoubtedly going to be a very popular work for euphonium and because of the pitch range the arranger uses, should be within the reach of most players.
Difficulty level - 3.5/6
Duration approx 4.50 mins
Supplied with solo parts in BC and TC and piano part.

Film - Andy Scott - with piano accompaniment, for baritonen or euphonium. TC only, |
|
|
Film was originally written as a movement from the commission ‘Seven Dances & No Looking Back’ for the Aquarelle Guitar Quartet.
It was subsequently arranged, at Andy’s request, by Jim Fieldhouse for brass band, and included on the CD recording ‘Spirit of Foden’s – the music of Andy Scott’, performed by Foden’s baritone soloist Natsumi McDonald & Foden’s Band, conducted by Michael Fowles.
The brass band arrangement has also been performed by notable soloists such as Katrina Marzella, and performed and recorded by Kristy Rowe.
Natsumi approached Andy about the possibility of an arrangement of Film that is scored for baritone and piano, which was completed by the composer and premiered by Natsumi & Yuki Kagajo in Alsager, Cheshire, July 2016.
Film is a gentle and fragile work, expressive and melodic, with subtle interplay between baritone horn and piano
