Pavanne pour une infante defunte - Ravel Arr V.Lisjak - for Solo Euphonium and Brass Choir
	£39.50 Reference:  SMPMP Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

The 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.

–Vanja Lisjak

Steve writes, "its one of the most beautiful pieces I'ver ever recorded".

	Adagio Op.85 (from the Cello Concerto) - Edward Elgar Arr. Eric Wilson - euphonium and piano
	£7.95 Reference:  SMWMEA Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

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.

About Homework

When I was in school I hated homework… Very often I just did not do it, got bad grades and my parents were unhappy. 

Biology-Cells: the musical material starts with a structure like a DNA cell and makes different mutations. 

Chemistry: every note is a name of a chemical such as H (hydrogen) Ca (calcium), Fe (iron), Ga (gallium), Ge(germanium), Ag (silver), Cd (cadmium), Ba (barium), Hf (hafnium), Hg (mercury), Db (dubnium)

Physics: a dynamic is an amount of energy. Changing this energy helps composers dramatize their music. This is an exercise in going far with dynamics, staying perfectly in tune and keeping in balance.

Mathematics: Prime numbers (2,3,5,7,11, etc) are the numbers which can only be divided with 1 or with itself. I played around with all the possibilities of making these dry structures become music. 

Homework done! With love for my parents!

	Concerto in D Minor BWV 596 - Vivaldi/Bach arr. Michael Forbes - Tuba Euphonium Quartet
	£31.25 Reference:  SMBTQC Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

The Concerto in D minor, BWV 596, is a notable work in the repertoire of Johann Sebastian Bach. It is a transcription of Antonio Vivaldi’s Concerto for Strings in G minor, RV 156. Bach, known for his exceptional skills in adaptation and arrangement, took Vivaldi’s original composition and transformed it into a concerto for organ.

The transcription process was a common practice during the Baroque era, where composers frequently adapted and rearranged works by their contemporaries or predecessors. In the case of BWV 596, Bach not only transcribed the original work but added his own artistic touches.

In this publication, Michael Forbes takes Bach’s organ transcription and adapts it to the euphonium/tuba quartet. Brass ensembles have the advantage of being able to easily imitate the sound of the organ in its various registers.

	Les Barricades Mistérieuse - F.Couperin Trans. Michael Forbes for Bass Tuba Quartet
	£17.95 Reference:  SMTEQLBM Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

"Les Barricades Mistérieuses" is part of François Couperin's Second Livre de Pièces de Clavecin (1717). This musical gem attests to Couperin's mastery of the elegance and sophistication of the French Baroque. The piece captivates with its mysterious charm and timeless beauty.

François Couperin le Grand (1668–1733), a prominent French Baroque composer and harpsichordist, hailed from a distinguished musical lineage. Trained by his father and uncle, both accomplished musicians, he showcased his virtuosity early on. Couperin served as the organist at the Church of Saint-Gervais in Paris from 1693 until his death.

As a composer, his lasting contributions include the 1716 collection "L'Art de toucher le clavecin" (The Art of Playing the Harpsichord). This work, a testament to his mastery, offers insights into Baroque performance. His compositions, known for their expressive ornamentation and evocative titles, exemplify his sensitivity to emotion.

François Couperin's impact transcended his era, and his works continued to influence musicians for centuries. Revered for their elegance and sophistication, his compositions contribute significantly to the rich tapestry of Baroque music. Couperin le Grand's legacy endures as a key figure in the history of classical music.

About Chaconne

Ferruccio Busoni (1866–1924), an Italian composer and pianist, made significant contributions through his creative transcriptions of Johann Sebastian Bach’s works. His fascination with Bach’s music led him to reimagine compositions with virtuosity, adding unique touches to bring the timeless beauty of the Baroque era to a broader audience.

One of Busoni’s most renowned transcriptions is the “Chaconne” from Bach’s Violin Partita No. 2. This monumental work for piano captures Bach’s essence while infusing Busoni’s expressive interpretations. The transcription showcases Busoni’s virtuosic technique, expanding the tonal possibilities of the piano.

Beyond the “Chaconne,” Busoni transcribed organ works, chorale preludes, and keyboard suites, often adding ornamentations and harmonic explorations in the late-Romantic style. His approach reflected a belief in tradition and the evolution of musical styles, preserving and revitalizing the past.

He has been looking for something like this for many years, and unhappy with the metal water catches the clip to the bottom of the valve group. The problem is traditionally have been extraneous vibration on certain frequencies, slight change of performance as well as the air compression sound that often accompanies the use of the metal gutters.

This new SB Tray is extraordinary light (10g) and nonmetallic, and it has small hooks on the end of the two protruding prongs that clip inside the bottom caps of valves one and three, giving a very secure and reliable grip.

It's very easy to remove and put back on for emptying the water, and there's also a very small groove at one end which allows the instrument to be tipped to one side to allow water to escape, if preferred.

Guaranteed not to vibrate! 

Please watch this video where Steven explains all aspects of this new accessory.

As this is a brand-new accessory, it hasn't been tested on every brand and model of baritone yet but we are confident that it will be compatible with the following brands:

	Scaramouche - Philip Sparke - Wind band/Harmonie/Concert Band accompaniment
	£134.99 - £129.00 Reference:  SMAMPSWB Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Scaramouche - Baritone or Euphonium Solo (with Wind band/Harmonie/Concert Band accompaniment

From the composer Philip Sparke - "Scaramouche was commissioned by Katrina Marzella with a grant from the BBC Performing Arts Fund. Undoubtedly the finest baritone player of her generation, Katrina was granted an education bursary from the BBC Performing Arts Fund as a result of winning the BBC Radio 2 Young Brass Soloist of the Year in 2004. This has allowed her to commission a series of new works for her instrument, including Scaramouche. In this version for euphonium and concert band, Scaramouche continues Sparke’s series of works which uses the Italian improvisational theatre tradition of commedia dell’arte as an inspiration. Pantomime, Harlequin and, now, Scaramouche draw on the contrasting moods of pathos and comedy characterised by the ‘happy/sad’ masks which symbolise European theatre. A slow expressive ballad, followed by a spirited vivace allows the composer to exploit both the lyrical and technical sides of the euphonium, therefore giving the soloist the chance to display the full capabilities of their instrument."

A really super solo, sure to be widely played!

	Omaggio - Euphonium Concerto No.4 - Philip Sparke - Euphonium and Piano
	£27.99 - £26.99 Reference:  SMAMPOP Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Omaggio was commissioned by Steven Mead in celebration of his 60th birthday and in memory of his father, Rex. He gave the premiere of the brass band version in Rome in March 2022, accompanied by the Italian Brass Band conducted by Filippo Cangiamilla. The concert band premiere took place on 6th July that year as part of the 2022 Spanish International Tuba Euphonium Conference, accompanied by the Banda municipal de música de Málaga. The concerto is set in 3 continuous movements, which are united by a recurring syncopated interval of a fifth. The first movement, FANTASIA, opens with this motive accompanying an extended monologue for the soloist. This is followed by a lengthy bridge passage by the piano, which is eventually joined by the soloist, who guides the music back to the opening soliloquy, leading to an energetic central section. This develops until the opening material again returns to introduce the second movement, BALLAD, which revolves around an expressive melody for the soloist, interspersed by accompanied cadenzas. The third movement, THE KING TRIUMPHANT, pays homage to Steven’s late father, Rex, and its title alludes both to Rex’s name (‘Rex’ being Latin for ‘king’) as well as his love of Eric Ball’s Salvationist masterpiece, The Kingdom Triumphant. The finale is an energetic tour-de-force featuring an acrobatic 6/8 melody, which is interrupted twice by the magnificent hymn tune, Helmsley, which Ball uses so effectively in The Kingdom Triumphant. A galloping coda brings the work to a close. The sheet music to this wonderful new concerto has just been released and here it is.

Lady Stewart's Air
Lady Stewart's Air was commissioned by David King as a birthday tribute to one of New Zealand's most prominent supporters of the arts and in particular the brass band fraternity, Lady Adrienne Stewart.

Meditation
Meditation is the central theme from The Triumph of Time, a work commissioned for The Black Dyke Band by Music Director Nicholas Childs.
The original brief was for a piece which would showcase the talents of the band's many fine soloists, among them Zoe Hancock on Flugel horn, who has made this particular theme from the larger work her own.

Follow the Flame
The main theme from the composer's work The Torchbearer, this version was arranged for Flugel Horn soloist Lucy Cutt.

Deep River
Deep River is one of the best known of the spirituals originating among the enslaved Africans in the United States during the 18th and 19th centuries. This arrangement was made for Eb Tuba soloist Steven Walsh.

	Alarum - Edward Gregson - for unaccompanied tuba
	£13.95 - £13.75 Reference:  SMGMA Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Alarum for solo tuba was written, especially for James Gourlay, and was first performed by him at the Adrian Boult HJall, Birmingham on February 13,, 1994.

The title of the work derives from an old English word, meaning a 'call to arms', and I have taken this to be a primitive (that is primeval) call, and hence the opening gesture of the piece, which is meant to imitate a tribal like intensity. The opening four note set of pitches is taken from the name of the dedicatee.

The piece is divided into three main sections and runs continuously. The first section is by turns, aggressive, nervous and lyrical. The second section is melodic and peaceful, but reaches a climax when the two themes, lyrical and rhythmic, are juxtaposed against each other. The last section is dance-like in character with changing time patterns which lead back to the very opening statement of the piece.

	£24.95 - £24.50 Reference:  SMGMAPOP Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

A Portrait of Paris was written for Alexis Demailly and Bastien Baumet of the Paris Brass Band.

The three movements, Promenade (aux Champs-Élysées), Sur La Seine and Tour de France, are the composer's musical impressions of some of the city's landmarks and events (with occasional references to a famous Parisian composer thrown in for good measure...)

A fantastic extended work.

P{ublished by Gramercy Music

The duet will work great in its original form for cornet and euphonium, but we think it will also work great as a duet for two euphoniums.

About the Author

Anthony O'Toole , born 1988 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, holds a bachelor's degree in Music Theory & Composition from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania where he studied composition with Daniel Perlongo, Jack Stamp and David Martynuik. He is currently a master's student in Composition at George Mason University where he studies with Mark Camphouse. Anthony O'Toole's music is unique and fresh with its intense rhythmic energy, lush jazz-influenced harmonic language, and his talent for highly effective and colorful orchestration. Mr. O'Toole has written more than 100 works for almost every medium and began writing music in his early teens. In high school his interest in composition stemmed from his studies as a percussionist and love of performing. He also became a competent multi-instrumentalist learning piano, viola, saxophone, clarinet, trombone and tuba. Although he is largely self-taught as a composer he credits many of his teachers for being mentors and advocates of his music. While at IUP he had the pleasure of receiving lessons and attending lectures from guest composers such as Cindy McTee, Samuel Hazo, Christopher Marshall, Frank Ticheli, Clark MacAllister, Richard Danielpour, Bruce Yurko and Drew Hemenger. After graduation from IUP in 2011 he worked full-time as a composer while also working as an orchestrator and arranger for 2 years before beginning his MM in Composition at GMU. In the last 5 years Mr. O'Toole has seen success as a composer winning numerous prizes which include the Grand Prize in the 2012 Garritan Composition Contest for his orchestral work 'CA-91' as well as other accolades and honorable mentions. His music has been featured in the GIA Publication 'Teaching Music Through Performance in Band' (Solos with Wind Band Accompaniment edition) and a large amount of his music is published by Cimarron Music Press, Euphonium.com and Bandworks Publications. In particular, his band music has become rather popular and has been played by some of the finest ensembles including the University of North Texas Wind Symphony, The Indiana University of Pennsylvania Wind Ensemble and the United States Coast Guard Band. His band music and chamber music have been performed all over the country and internationally in Canada, Australia, Tawain, Portugal, Britain, Brazil and Singapore.

	Arcades and Alleys (Sonata for Euphonium) - Alan Lourens - Euphonium and Piano
	£17.50 Reference:  SMCMPAAA Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

The Sonata for Euphonium is a traditional three movement sonata following classical forms. Movement one is lively Sonata Form, Movement Two is a quiet Ternary Form, and a very lively Rondo rounds out the composition.

This is is post-modern; it is Each movement opens strong in the stated key (G Major, f minor) though in each case the tonality wanders considerably before finishing in the home key. The work is descriptive in nature, but not programmatic.

Arcades and Alleyways explores the whole range of the instrument, from a Pedal B Flat to a C three octaves above that note, and requires professional level technical ability.

Is a really interesting work, essentially a Sonata for Euphonium.

Lourens was born in Perth, Western Australia, and attended Scarborough Senior High School, where he won the prize for music in his graduating year. After completing a degree in Music Education at the Western Australian College of Advanced Education, Lourens taught brass and classroom music in public schools, based at Kelmscott Senior High School, and including conducting and teaching brass at Churchlands Senior High School and Perth Modern School. He returned to study at Indiana University, earning a master's degree in music (in Euphonium Performance) in 1992, and a Doctorate (in Wind Conducting) in 1999, working as an Associate Instructor to Harvey Phillips and in the IU department of bands, working with the Marching Hundred. At Indiana, he studied Euphonium with M.Dee Stewart and Daniel Perantoni. He was also awarded a Performers Certificate for the quality of his Masters recital.

From 2000, Lourens has held leadership positions at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts (as Head of Classical Music), and has held positions in Singapore(at Lasalle College of the Arts),[1] and in Dubai.[2] His name was also associated with a possible appointment as Head of the ANU School of Music.[3][4] In 2009, he was elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA).

A very exciting work for euphonium and brass quintet . composed for Steven Mead and Spanish Brass; The title comes from the constantly-shifting meter and somewhat hectic feel, the melody bouncing back and forth between soloist and quintet, and the shifts between somewhat unconnected sections.

The composer Ben McMillan writes: The main melody was something that had been in my head for a while, one of the many musical seeds that I constantly find myself humming or whistling absentmindedly. This became the first piece I ever had published, and the second ever recorded.

Originally written for an instrument called the Arpeggione (like a fretted cello), Schubert's beautiful Sonata works very well for wind instruments. This arrangement is written by the performer, David Werden, for euphonium and piano. The performance is from a live recital tour of Japan in 1989. A graduate of The University of Iowa, Mr. Werden was the euphonium soloist with The United States Coast Guard Band for more than 20 years. He has performed throughout the United States, as well as in Canada, England, Japan, and the former Soviet Union. Through FM and TV broadcasts, his solos have been heard in dozens of countries around the world. He is a recitalist and clinician, and has performed at local, national, and international symposiums. He was a member of The USCG Band Euphonium/Tuba Quartet, the Atlantic Tuba Quartet, and the Classic Brass Band. He previously taught at the University of Connecticut and is listed in Marquis' Who's Who in American Education. His efforts to expand the role and recognition of the euphonium led the British magazine Sounding Brass in conjunction with the American publication Euphonia to name him "Euphonium Player of the Year" in 1980. He is the first American awarded this honor. In 1981 he was elected to the post of Euphonium Coordinator for the International Tuba-Euphonium Association (formerly called Tubists Universal Brotherhood Association: T.U.B.A). In 1987 he was appointed to the Honory Board of Advisors of ITEA. His many solo performances and his efforts to expand the role of the euphonium in music earned him the prestigious Coast Guard Commendation Medal. He has also been awarded two Coast Guard Achievement Medals, the Coast Guard Special Operations ribbon, two Coast Guard Unit Commendations, and three Coast Guard Merit Somnataorious Unit Commendations. In 1993 he was inducted into the Pi Kappa Lambda honors society. He has published articles in Euphonia magazine, The Instrumentalist magazine and the T.U.B.A. Journal. He is the author of The Blaikley Compensating System, Scoring for Euphonium, co-author with Denis Winter of the Euphonium Music Guide, and a co-author of the Brass Player's Cookbook. He compiled and edited a series of papers by Arthur Lehman into the book The Brass Musician. He has also published over four dozen arrangements for a variety of solo instruments and ensembles. His website, http://www.dwerden.com/, has become a favorite of euphonium players everywhere. Since moving to Minnesota he has performed with Symphonia (America's Premier Large Tuba-Euphonium Ensemble), the Minnesota Orchestra, the Sheldon Theater Brass Band, was a special guest artist at the International Euphonium Institute, and has been heard on live national broadcasts of A Prairie Home Companion.

	Euphonium Concerto - Edward Gregson - Euphonium and Brass Band
	£80.00 Reference:  SMGCBB Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Here is the Euphonium Concerto by Edward Gregson, just published with brass band accompaniment.

This is certain to be a highly sought-after concerto and one that advanced players will want to study and perform in the future.

 Program notes by the composer:

The Euphonium Concerto was commissioned by the Euphonium Foundation UK and was written for, and dedicated to, David Childs. Lasting some 22 minutes, it is a large-scale symphonic work in both its structure and scale. Its three movements, subtitled Dialogues, Song without Words, and A Celtic Bacchanal, explore the full range of the technical, musical, and emotional scope of the euphonium.

The first movement, Dialogues, is concerned with contrast and development, using as a reference point a five note musical cypher (BACH – B flat, A, C, B natural – followed by a tritone F). This cypher is used in various guises throughout the movement and beyond and acts as a ‘pillar’ in an ever-changing musical canvass. The movement’s sonata form structure contrasts highly charged rhythmic ideas with a lyrical second section, where perhaps the euphonium takes on the cloak of a cello with its soaring melodicism. This leads to a central section, with scurrying semiquavers culminating in a frenetic fugal climax before returning to the opening ideas, now further explored and developed.

An extended cadenza, with brief but dramatic interruptions from the timpanist, leads directly into the slow movement – Song without Words. Here, the peaceful mood of the opening tutti section leads to a wistful ballad for the soloist, which pays nostalgic homage to another era long since gone. The opening music returns, this time developing into an intense climax, before quietly sinking into a reprise of the opening music, with the soloist’s ballad now transferred from minor to major. The movement ends quietly and leads without a break into the final movement.

A Celtic Bacchanal is, as the title suggests, a wild dance that takes on some of the character of Celtic folk music (the dedicatee is a Celt, and the composer half-Celt!). Whilst primarily being a technical tour-de-force, a lyrical central section once again exploits the euphonium’s singing qualities, reaching a majestic peroration before subsiding into tranquility. The folk-like dance starts up again, this time culminating, via a reference to the first movement, into an exuberant and life-affirming coda.

The work exists in FOUR versions, with symphony orchestra, wind orchestra, piano (available on this site)and here with brass band accompaniment

Be My Love was written for the film The Toast of New Orleans in 1950, and was nominated for an Academy Award in the same year. The story revolves around a rough-and-tumble fisherman from the Louisiana bayous, who is gifted with a wonderful, if unschooled voice. He is discovered by the director of the New Orleans French Opera (David Niven), and falls in love with the prima donna, a refined young soprano (Kathryn Grayson). The film has sunk into obscurity, but Be My Love survives as one of Mario Lanza's best known signature songs.

This version for euphonium and brass band was expertly crafted by Ray Farr in the late 80's for the Grimethorpe Colliery Band

This arrangement has firmly established itself in the euphonium repertoire over the years, and remains one of Ray Farr's most popular arrangements.

Phil writes: These euphonium-specific studies were inspired by Hiram Diaz (that’s right-The President’s Own euphonium player!), who had me pull out all the stops to explore the amazing versatility of this instrument. You’ve never seen anything like this before! BC or TC Bb versions now avaliable!

I've always been fascinated by the Euphonium and their owners. They seem to be stuck between so many different worlds, both technically and musically. They can play gorgeous melodies as well as lightning, fast, technical passages, and often do, not only in the same piece, but sometimes in the same line of music for years, the great Robert King tried to get the Boston Symphony Orchestra to endow a Euphonium chair and make that voice take up permanent residence in the orchestra. Certainly, the orchestral works that exist in the repertoire by Strauss, Holst, and others that score for Euphonium (or tenor tuba) are richer for this addition. The fact that Mr King was not successful in his quest, speaks more to the orchestral worlds inflexibility than to the versatility of this fascinating instrument. Certainly the musical ensembles that regularly use this voice find it indispensable. In my many brass ensemble arrangements for the Washington Symphonic Brass, the euphonium part was one of the most fun to imagine.

In the pages of this book, I offer up a small addition to your ever increasing and expanding repertoire. My hope is that it will find a place on your music stand as a book. That's both fun to play and challenging. Here's to the next 200 years of Euphonium!"

 

Steve Mead writes: this book is highly recommended. It's very challenging as lots of euphonium-inspired classical influences can be detected, and it's all over the instrument! Fantastic to study and work up to a high level.

Originally composed for euphonium and trombone quartet, Funk Theory became an instant success following its première on 7th October 2003, featuring the all female Bones Apart trombone quartet and David Childs in Manchester's RNCM Concert Hall. Funk Theory is now available in this arrangement with piano and/or CD accompaniment.

The music is based on two simple chord sequences - the first is heard in the first 7 bars and the second is an 8 bar sequence heard throughout the piece. The melody continually varies and develops becoming increasingly busy and difficult. It could almost be considered a small set of 'funk' variations.

Funk Theory has been performed in its various forms by euphonium soloists throughout the world. It is great fun to play and creates a little 'light relief' during any concert.  The original version of Funk Theory with trombone quartet accompaniment is also available from Prima Vista.

The electronic backing can be downloaded from the Prima Vista website: https://primavistamusikk.com/

Duration: 4.15

	100 Days of Trumpet Practice - Rex Richardson - Practice Book (TC)
	£40.00 - £37.50 Reference:  SM100DP Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

100 Days of Trumpet Practice is a solid practice ritual. A true recipe book covering all aspects of trumpet (brass) playing. Rex Richardson establishes the structure of a disciplined routine. A concept that reveals the meticulous and efficient daily work of one of the great virtuosos. Ear training and mouthpiece buzzing, sound production, flexibility, articulation, fingers, range, improvisation, reading and transposition, repertoire, scales and arpeggios.

Renowned as a performer and composer of new, genre-busting music, Yamaha Performing Artist Rex Richardson has been called “One of the finest virtuosos of our time” (Brass Herald) “a standout soloist with the power, range and flexibility to rival Freddie Hubbard and Woody Shaw” (DownBeat), and “among the very best trumpet soloists in the world today” (Journal of the International Trumpet Guild).

A professor at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) since 2002, he has served as International Tutor in Trumpet at England’s Royal Northern College of Music and at Austria’s JAM Music Lab University.

Although conceived for the trumpet, we believe that this method has many many outstanding benefits for Euphonium and Baritone players also. Highly recommended.

Omaggio is the Italian word for homage or tribute, and as we consider the subject matter of the three solo concerti, this is undoubtedly the thread between them. In chronological order, Peter Graham’s In League with Extra-ordinary Gentleman is dedicated to three euphonium playing family members, with literary stars titled in each of the three movements. Philip Harper’s evocative and dramatic concerto is a tribute to the great grandfather of Micah Parsons, the young euphonium player who commissioned the work from the composer. Henry Nichols was killed in the First World War and the events surrounding this tragic event provide the subject matter for this concerto. Philip Sparke’s Euphonium Concerto No. 4 with subtitle Omaggio is written as a tribute to our soloist’s father, Rex Mead who passed away in January 2021. Rex was a kind, loving father and husband, who sporting prowess, good nature and true gentlemanly conduct inspired all those he came in contact with.

Three shorter contrasting works provide balance to these wonderful concerti. Lucy Pankhurst’s colourful work receives its premiere recording as does Luc Vertommen’s superb arrangement of Piazzolla’s masterful Cafe 1930. Ken Downie’s setting of The Sally Gardens provides a suitable benediction to the action, drama and high emotion of the main works of this album.

This is an excellent new addition to the euphonium/baritone method book repertory.

From intermediate to advanced. High quality publication.

 

Micah Dominic Parsons writes:

Over the course of the past year, I have been working alongside Daniel Hall to create an accessible exercise book for amateur musicians. ​In our modern world, we are becoming increasingly busy with work, family and hobby commitments and finding the time to practice each day especially after a busy day can be difficult. ​

 Over the past seven years, I have tested and adapted my own practice routine to fit around my own commitments which has developed my own personal interest in developing a method book which can aid in encouraging the individual to develop their own daily practice routine which fits around their daily commitments and also maintains and improves their current standard. ​

 The MDP Method Book is an amalgamation of a number of personal practice routines which I have developed over the past seven years to fit around my daily routines. ​

The book contains a range of exercises which cover all the basic technical aspects of practice and is designed to be used for fifteen minutes over a six or seven day period. ​

 The MDP Method is split into sections which can be tackled either as a whole in one practice session or individually working through the book working on one exercise within each section for a total period of thirty minutes. ​The book is designed to accommodate all musicians from those working at a beginner level to those working at a more advanced level.

PULCINELLA - Philip Sparke

Euphonium (or Baritone) and Piano Reduction

Watch/listen the youtube video: https://youtu.be/qJSVuaz7Vmc

which shows the full score too - Recorded by the Royal Symphonic Band of the Belgian Air Force and its conductor Matty Cilissen. Soloist: Kevin Van Giel, Euphonium

Pulcinella was commissioned by the Taiwanese euphonium player Tzu-Hsiang Lin. Lin is a renowned soloist and teacher and a Besson Euphonium Artist. He teaches euphonium at Taipei National University of the Arts, National Taiwan University of Arts, Shih Chien University and National Kaohsiung Normal University. Pulcinella continues Sparke’s series of euphonium solos named after characters of the Italian commedia dell’arte and opens with a long and expressive minor melody for the soloist over a brooding accompaniment. This is taken up briefly by the piano and is extended by the soloist after a change of key. A cadenza, accompanied by fragments of the main melody leads to a complete change of mood, tempo and tonality, introducing a Vivo section starting with a perky syncopated tune for the soloist. The piano then uses elements of this new tune to introduce a change of key, where the soloist introduces a more lyrical second subject over a pulsing accompaniment. The piano then takes this up and changes key to reintroduce the original Vivo melody, which leads to a short and acrobatic coda to bring the work to a spectacular close.

This is a very beautiful and extended work for euphonium, and this is the arrangement with piano accompaniment. It also exists with wind orchestra accompaniment. Please contact us at euphstore@gmail.com if you require the band set.

Steve recorded this in the band version on his recent CD entitled Pulse, and it's proved to be a very popular work.

This is suitable for recitals, concerts and festivals.

It is quite an extended work, and put some physical demands on the player, with quite a few high concert C's throughout. That said, it is a work that players should aspire to play. It's one of the most beautiful additions to our repertoire in recent years.

	Sonata for Euphonium and Piano - David Gillingham
	£25.50 Reference:  SMESDGCAP Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Herer's the Sonata for Euphoniumm and Piano by the very popular US composer David Gillingham. He is a prolific composer for the euphonium and so many of his works have become an integral part of the modern euphonium repertoire.

Program Notes
The Sonata for Euphonium and Piano was written for and commissioned by Chris McGinty. The work is cast in the usual three-movement format with the outer movements structured in sonata form and the middle in simple song form (ABA). As the title suggests, the piano has an equal role to the euphonium and is hardly ever “accompanying” the euphonium.

The first movement features an aggressive primary theme characterized by octave leaps over fluctuating simple and compound meter. By contrast, the second theme group is comprised of graceful chord outlines and descending scale figures following modal harmony and chromatic mediant progressions in compound quadruple and quintuple meter. The development section utilizes the material from both theme groups moving through constantly shifting tonality. Solo piano brings back the primary theme in the recapitulation eventually joined by the euphonium. The second theme group finds the euphonium playing material related to the piano’s figuration in the exposition while the piano plays the melodic line, originally stated by the euphonium. A sprightly coda utilizing the primary thematic material ends the movement.

Like distant bells, the piano begins the second movement with a mixture of thirds and seconds in the warmth of D-flat major under which the euphonium plays a lovely arching melody. A transition leads to C major and the piano repeats the thematic material. A development ensues with the euphonium playing an ornamented version of the theme in compound duple meter with the piano moving in continuous 16ths. The passage modulates to D major and the euphonium plays an augmented version of the theme with the piano articulating the opening bell-like figure in diminution. The piano continues its figuration in an interlude which serves as a transition back to D-flat major and changes its pattern to pan-diatonic clusters that serve as a backdrop to a return of the theme in the euphonium. A coda shifts to F major, then A major, back to D-flat major, and then ends, longingly, on an F major seventh.

The final movement centers around the tonality of B-flat minor and begins tenaciously with a undulating pattern of 16ths in the piano in a very fast tempo. Against this, the euphonium plays an aggressive and foreboding theme following a mixture of the harmonic and melodic minor scale, ascending and descending. The foreboding mood changes drastically when the mode changes to B-flat major and the euphonium sings a celebratory theme derived from the primary theme. The piano enhances the celebration with quick octave leaps on three and four note diatonic clusters alluding to the ringing of bells. An extensive development section follows reworking both themes through transient modulations, sequences, diminution and augmentation, all of which fluctuate in mood from foreboding to celebratory. In the recapitulation, the euphonium begins with a dance-like version of the theme in 6/8 rhythm while the piano states the theme in augmentation. The two soon return to their roles as they were in the exposition. The second theme becomes even more celebratory with the piano playing the undulating pattern of the beginning of the movement in E-flat major and the euphonium augmenting the theme. There is a retransition to B-flat minor, but the rhythmic excitement continues through the coda to definitive closure.

	Motions for Euphonium and String Quartet - David Gillingham
	£33.00 Reference:  SMMOACAP Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

There are not many works for Euphonium and string quartet of an original nature, so this major work, Motions is to be welcomed and for the ambitious euphonium player, can be an extremely useful and effective piece of music..

Program Notes
Motions was commissioned by the Tuba Bach Festival of Big Rapids, Michigan, Ed Mallett, director, for performance by the Harlem String Quartet with Ed Mallett on euphonium.

The work is in five movements, each alluding to a different “motion.” Movement 1, “perpetual,” uses a continuous pattern of 16th notes depicting perpetual motion. Movement 2, “slow,” makes obvious reference to very slow motion. The harmony provides much of the interest of this movement with suspended figures, added note chords, extended tertian sounds, and shifting tonality. “Contrary,” the motion of Movement 3, uses contrary motion throughout within the melodic vocabulary of a blues scale and traditional jazz-like harmonies and rhythms. Movement 4, “stationary” is based on a pedal “B” throughout the whole movement played by euphonium, cello and violin 1. As in Movement 2, the harmony provides interest and variance around the sustained “B.” “Oscillatory” motion is the subject of Movement 5. The movement is based on an oscillating minor third with driving rhythms and fluctuating dynamics.

The original version for trumpet and wind ensemble received its world premiere at the NC Music Educator's In-Service Conference in Winston-Salem in November 2014. Infused with the sounds of Bernstein, Gershwin, and a brief nod to Dizzy Gillespie, Bounce features the euphonium as both a classical and a jazz instrument, offering moments of blazing virtuosity and expressive lyricism.Bounce by Nathan Daughtrey

	Spitfire - Nathan Doughtrey for Euphonium or Tuba/Euphonium and Piano
	£16.50 Reference:  SMSPNDCAP Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Spitfire is a tour-de-force duet for euphonium and piano that takes your breath away from the first flourish of 16th notes and doesn't let go until the final note. Caution: Not for the feint of heart. The set includes an optional tuba, which turns the duet into a trio.

Program Notes
Spitfire was inspired by the British fighter planes of the same name used by the Royal Air Force and several other countries during World War II. Designed as a short-range, high-performance interceptor aircraft, the Supermarine Spitfire was one of the fastest planes in service during the war. The quick moto perpetuo nature of the composition was an attempt to capture the speed and excitement of this historic plane. The word spitfire is also used to describe a quick-tempered or highly excitable person, which is also appropriate.

Spitfire was written for Dr. Brian Meixner for performance at the Southeast and Northeast Regional Tuba and Euphonium Conferences (SERTEC & NERTEC). Dr. Meixner and the composer performed the world premiere of the work on March 15, 2013 at the University of North Florida in Jacksonville, FL as part of SERTEC. The set includes an optional tuba, which turns the duet into a trio.

About Brass Playing Concepts

The Work

The art of the brass musician is measured by the extent, the intensity and the quality of his mastery as well as the influence of his personality. The phenomenal mastery of Arturo Sandoval has aroused the admiration, respect and even the incredulity of audiences, of his colleagues and of young students. Not a few imagine that there must be sorne kind of special trick involved here ...

The approach proposed here by Arturo Sandoval - as perhaps that of every artist who has made his way to success and can verbalize his experience - may appear simple. In fact, it is. As simple as is the solution to every problem, once it is found...

Arturo Sandoval was born November 6th,1949 in Artemis, province of Havanna, Cuba. At the age of fifteen he entered the Cuban National School of the Arts where he studied classical trumpet. In 1965 he met the great Russian trumpet player Timofey Dokshidser and was deeply impressed by his artistry. From 1974 to 1980 he played with the famous Cuban Irakere big band. Then he created his own band, started to travel to foreign countries, getting finally the international recognition he deserved. In 1990 he left Cuba for good and settled in the USA. He has since toured all over the world, recording many CDs and his fame is growing constantly. His phenomenal virtuoso trumpet playing and his great talent as a pianist and film music composer are admired worldwide by classical and jazz musicians.

	The Euph of Yesterday - Arr. Chris Mowat - Euphonium and Piano (TC version) - NEW
	£9.75 Reference:  SMBWEOYTC Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

10 baroque pieces.
We all know that the euphonium was not developed until well into the 19th century, so there is no authentic classical or baroque repertoire. This is especially frustrating when you consider the agility and expressiveness of the instrument in the hands of our best players. We can be sure that the composers of the baroque era would have leapt at the chance of writing for the euphonium, and this volume of pieces attempts to show what might have resulted, had it been around.
