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.

	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.

	30 Etudes Melodiques - Emile Joseph Trognee (TC only)
	£16.00 Reference:  SMEBTEM Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Emile Joseph Trognée was born on 4th of July 1868 in Tirimon, Belgium. He studied trumpet at the Brussels Conservatory. After winning a European competition in 1902, he became solo trumpet and cornet at the Mariinskiy Theatre (now called Kirov Theatre) in St. Petersburg. He spent the rest of his life in Russia, working at the Mariinskiy for 25 years, and he died in 1942 of hunger during the three year siege of Leningrad by German troops.

Trognée was an outstanding musician. A well-known Russian conductor, Karl Eliasberg, wrote: “Trognée had a unique feeling of ensemble; his sense of dynamics and musical phrasing was remarkable. His sound was never forced but always bright, powerful and even in all registers. He was also a great master of very soft legato playing and well-known for his performances of the “Ring”, “Rienzi” and “Lohengrin” as well as of the operas of Tchaikovsky and Verdi.”

Trognée was respected by both musicians and composers. He advised Rimsky-Korsakow to make some changes in the trumpet part of his opera the “The Legend of the invisible City of Kitezh” (the well known difficult trumpet passage in the symphonic poem of the “Battle at Kerzhenets”).

Trognée taught at the Baltic Fleet Music School from 1911-1917 and at the Rimsky-Korsakov Music School of St.Petersburg from 1928 to 1941. He wrote several works for trumpet and cornet. His “Fantasia-Caprice”, published in Moscow in 1946 in Tabakov’s “Elementary and progressive Trumpet Method” was especially popular for many years.

The “Studies for Trumpet”, published 1932 by Triton in St.Petersburg were also well known. These 15 final etudes have been dedicated to Mikhail Tabakov (1877-1956), the father of the modern Russian trumpet school. Serguej Bolotin, the Russian trumpet player, preserved them together with Trognée’s complete muscial work. These studies, as well as the works of Vassili Brandt or Oskar Böhme, have greatly contributed, to the history of the Russian trumpet school.

About 15 Grandes Etudes

This edition of Trognée' s studies gives us an opportunity to study the work of someone who, like Vasiliy Wurm, Vasiliy Brandt and Oskar Böhme, made a great contribution to the history of the trumpet in Russia.

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.

	Euphonium Concerto - Edward Gregson - Euphonium and Piano
	£13.50 Reference:  SMGCP Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Here is the Euphonium Concerto by Edward Gregson, just published with piano 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, brass band and here on this site , with piano accompaniment.

	Origins (Euphonium Concerto) - Pete Meechan - euphonium and piano - New in store
	£19.50 Reference:  SMPPM10 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

The composer Pete Meechan writes of his concerto 'Origins':

'Origins is in three movements, with each movement having a different subject matter, all linked by the idea of origins: the first movement refers to musical origins; the second to the origins of life; and the final movement to the space exploration - the research of all origins.

The first movement is based on a short motif, heard in the first three notes the soloist plays. These three notes cover the interval of a minor third (an interval that often plays a crucial role in my music) on which the whole concerto is built. The soloist and accompaniment interplay freely throughout the opening section, before an ostinato accompaniment appears in the woodwinds - over which the soloist sounds a long legato melody. A short cadenza follows and a return to the opening material leads the movement to an end.

The second movement, titled Harry's Song, is - as tradition dictates - a slow movement. Happy and reflective in nature, the main melody was written on the evening that my closest friend, Mark Bousie (a fine euphoniumist himself), and his wife Jayne, had their first child - Harry Bousie. It seemed only fitting that this song should be written for Harry in celebration.

The final movement brings me back to a lifelong fascination with space, and in this particular movement, the Space Shuttle Discovery. Having completed 39 missions (including flying the Hubble telescope in to orbit), and spent a total of 365 days in space, SS Discovery made its final voyage in 2011 and was taken to the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. in April 2012. This final movement, titled Discovery, pays tribute to the great shuttle whose missions inspired millions across the generations.

Origins was commissioned by Marco Schneider, Adrian Schneider and the Dunshan Wind Orchestra, Beijing, China".

PROGRAM NOTES

 Ave Maria (Tanti anni prima – Many years ago) is one of two hauntingly beautiful tunes drawn from Ástor Piazzola’s score for the 1984 Marco Bellocchio film Enrico IV (Henry IV) based on the eponymous play by Luigi Pirandello with the same title, starring Marcello Mastroianni and Claudia Cardinale.

An unnamed Italian aristocrat falls off his horse while playing the role of Henry IV during carnevale festivities. After he comes to, he believes himself to be Henry. For the next twenty years, his family, maintain an elaborate charade in a remote Umbrian villa, staffed with servants hired to play the roles of Henry's privy councillors and simulate the eleventh-century court. During the play it appears that after 12 years of illness, he notices that he is cured, but decides to continue in his role.

The movie contains two of Piazzolla's most beautiful and haunting songs. Of the two songs, Oblivion, which is heard at the close of the movie, became one of Piazzolla’s best known songs and more frequently performed, but Tanti anni prima is no less beautiful. The theme is associated with the character Matilda, a widow whom Henry loved, unrequited, before the accident, portrayed by Claudia Cardinale in the movie.

 

The song is also known as Ave Maria, a later name most likely given it for commercial reasons  by Piazzolla’s Italian agent, Aldo Pagani. One must agree that the new name fits, the Ave Maria does bring to mind a church organ during a meditative moment. Ave Maria consists of two parts, both with smooth, broad melodic lines to show of the composers lyrically sentimental side. In the second movement more passion and character is requiered especially to colour with the modern, more dissonant chords.

Although originally for oboe and piano, the version for cello and piano is among the more frequently performed. This version for euphonium and piano of Piazzolla’s Ave Maria is arranged by Luc Vertommen.

	£15.25 - £14.00 Reference:  SMEB3F Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

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.

The work is inspired by a Gaelic poem about lost love, telling the tale of a fisherman and his wife. She accompanies her love to the shores of the sea to wave him off; but tragically he never returns. Each day she returns to the sea and sings to him, but no answer ever comes. In the tradition of Celtic songs it is dark and full of passion and pain.

	Flight - Philip Wilby - Euphonium (or Flugel,Cornet,Trumpet) and Piano
	£9.95 - £9.95 Reference:  SMPWF Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Flight is a wonderful extended solo by the great British composer Philip Wilby.

It was composed in 1992 for Mark Walters who was then the flugel horn player with the Grimethorpe Colliery Band.

Since that time it's gone on to also be a very popular solo for advanced euphonium players, and fantastic for recitals, competitions and serious music events!

The composer writes:"Flight is a virtuoso solo which seeks to investigate many of the various aspects of flying. It attempts to portray the effort of powered flight, the ease of gliding and soaring, the thrill of rising on natural thermals, and the chaotic swirling of rapid descent."

 

Philip Wilby biography:

Born in Pontefract in 1949, Philip Wilby was educated at Leeds Grammar School and Keble College, Oxford. Wilby attributes the awakening of his interest in composition to Herbert Howells, whose extra-curricular composition classes he attended while a violinist in the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain. A serious commitment to composition developed during the years at Oxford and, having gained his B Mus in composition in 1971, Wilby continued to write music even while working as a professional violinist (first at Covent Garden and later with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra). He returned to Yorkshire in 1972 and is Principal Lecturer in Composition at the University of Leeds.

In recent years, Wilby has established a very significant reputation in the field of brass band and wind band music. His first commission for brass band - The New Jerusalem (1990) for the National Youth Brass Band - was an instant success and led to further commissions: Paganini Variations (a BBC commission in 1991 for the Grimethorpe Band); Flight for solo flugelhorn and band (Grimethorpe, 1991); Revelation (1995, for the British Open Championships). Much of Wilby's recent wind band music has been commissioned by the Fresno campus of the University of California, where he has had a regular residency since 1985.

Wilby has also given much time to writing for liturgical purposes and works include St Paul's Service (1988) commissioned by St Paul's Cathedral for John Scott and the Choir of St Paul's Cathedral, and The Trinity Service (1992) commissioned by Norwich Cathedral for the 1992 Norwich Festival of Contemporary Church Music.

Other recent projects include a commission (The Cry of Iona) for BBC2's 1992 series of music videos for Advent; and, in 1993, the second symphony Voyaging, commissioned and premiered by the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra; Partita, commissioned by Fine Arts Brass Ensemble and premiered at the Harrogate International Festival; An Imagined Fable commissioned by the Athelas Ensemble and premiered at the Danish Radio Concert House; and a Percussion Concerto commissioned by the English Northern Philharmonia and Yorkshire Youth and Music, premiered in Leeds, performed by Chris Bradley and the English Northern Philharmonia conducted by John Price-Jones. In January 1995 Philip Wilby was a featured composer in the PLG Young Artists New Year Series, London.

In addition to concert music, Philip Wilby has written educational works and incidental music for television. The academic environment at Leeds has also fostered a number of scholarly interests which have led to a remarkable series of reconstructions of Mozart fragments. In 1985 these were the subject of a Yorkshire television documentary featuring the Amadeus String Quartet, and in 1990 they were recorded by the Academy of St Martin-in-the-Fields for the complete Philips Mozart Edition.

This is also one of the most popular of all team in variation solos, described on the title page as a Grand Fantasia. Hugely popular in its day, it also became one of the Rimmer solos that became 'adopted' by euphonium players.

It certainly finds its way into the top 10 of classic euphonium theme and variation solos, and therefore should be in the library of all keen amateur and professional players.

Here is another classic solo from way back when. Stanley Boddington MBE (1905-1986) was a famous brass band conductor, mainly remembered for his incredible work with the GUS (Footwear) Band, but he was also a prolific composer and arranger.

This theme and variations solo is part of our incredible heritage of variation solos that date back to the end of the 19th century.

See a recent article on Stanley Boddington posted on 4barsrest

It's also a great test for euphonium players, especially as it's written in C major (for Bb instruments), meaning it has some extra demands on stamina.

Could this possibly be the most-played theme and variation solo ever composed for the euphonium?!!

Steven Mead played this when he was a very young man, and has continued to play it at various intervals during his career. Most of the great euphonium players of the past have also performed this with brass bands, and sometimes with piano. Here is the original version with piano accompaniment, and if you are a euphonium player who doesn't know this, well this is a very important part of euphonium heritage which you should know and be able to 'rattle off', as the expression goes!

	Donegal Bay - Paul Lovatt-Cooper Arr. Judith Hayes - Baritone or Euphonium and Piano
	£7.00 Reference:  SMWRDBP Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

This is the arrangment of Paul Lovatt-Cooper's popular solo Donegal Bay with piano accompnaiment.

 

Donegal Bay was the first work for brass band that Paul Lovatt-Cooper composed when he was just 18 years old. Written for a solo baritone and brass band, Donegal Bay has become a staple in many band rooms around the world. It is a homage to an Irish lyrical style that has become even more popular in recent years.  Lovatt-Cooper’s warm harmonies and lyrical baritone solo makes Donegal Bay a true delight to listen to and to play.

The Music

Opening with sonorous muted cornets, followed by warm lower band chords, the band set up a serene atmosphere for the soloist. The baritone enters with a nostalgic melody that hones in on the Irish Air style that Lovatt-Cooper was aiming for.  The accompaniment is sparse, but each part that comes in and out adds to the overall shimmering effect. Muted cornets fluctuate underneath the soloist, with the basses playing a constant sequence of pedal notes.

As the melody begins to build traction, so do the dynamics written in the score.  More of the band join into the mix, which leads to the cornets taking their mutes out and playing a lyrical response to the main melody. The baritone enters once more to play an obbligato line that is still very much lyrical in style. As the soloist begins to push into its upper register the harmonies below begin to cleverly knit together, creating a wholly warming experience.

The melodic material here soon leads back to the original opening theme. The baritone soloist and soprano cornet begin to intertwine their melody lines, creating a sense of sweetness together. Although the music begins to drop in dynamic, the warm harmonies and rich texture remains, creating that spine-tingling feeling before the emotionally-driven final few notes led by the baritone. 

Paul Lovatt-Cooper’s Donegal Bay is a straightforward, no-nonsense work for a solo baritone and brass band. The simplicity in the harmonic movement adds to the feelings of nostalgia and sereneness. The solo line is lyrical, and demands much control from the soloist. Donegal Bay is a classy work that does not require gimmicks and other lavish techniques to make it effective.

	In Gardens of Peace - Philip Harper - Euphonium with Brass Band accompaniment
	£40.00 Reference:  SMWRGPBB Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

In Gardens of Peace was composed in response to a commission from Micah Parsons in 2014 to commemorate the life of his great grandfather, Henry Nichols, killed in the battle of the Somme in 1917.

The music attempts to recreate the special and unique aura which provides burial grounds and cemeteries-there is a peaceful tranquillity, but also a deep sense of tragedy and loss. The euphonium is the ideal solo voice to articulate this mood, with its soulful depth of sound, and its ability to saw passionately over the ensemble, both characteristics which are developed throughout the piece.

The music ends positively, with the wish that hope can come from desperation.

	£25.95 Reference:  SMBWPAT Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Here is a superb new release from Brass Wind Publications which is sure to bring a new and fresh dimension to your technical practice, with these famous 14 Characteristic Studies, found at the back of the Arban Grand Method.

As well as a beautifully producted solo part and piano accompaniment, this set includes 2 two highquality cds with the piano accompaniment (with a real pianist and real piano!), each in three different tempi: 1. slow practice 2. performance tempo 3. fast performance tempo!

 

From the publishers:

For nearly 150 years Jean-Baptiste Arban's 14 studies have been an essential part of a brass player's practice routine. Arban's original parts contain many inaccuracies and inconsistencies. Whilst we had no intention of creating an 'Urtext' edition, we have attempted to make each study's phrasing, articulation and where necessary, dynamics consistent with itself, without losing the character and intentions of Arban's manuscript. We, therefore, chose not to add dynamics at the beginning of studies where Arban has omitted them, as you will quickly discover the right dynamic (for you) on practising the piece. You may also, as performer, wish to change or ignore our suggestions, for that is what they are and you must feel free to do so.

This edition includes imaginative piano accompaniments written to reflect the nature of the solo part and enhance the soloist's practice whilst lending these studies also to the concert repertoire. Our hope is that you will gain more from playing these great studies 'with accompaniment’ rather than the traditional way 'without'.

The CD that accompanies this edition contains John Alley's accompaniments in three tempi. One for slow practice, one for general performance and then one for the virtuoso! Also included are stylish performances of all 14 studies by leading UK trumpeter Paul Mayes which are retained for guidance in this euphonium edition. In order to produce an artistically cohesive CD Paul Mayes’ performances are a mix of the two featured performance tempi

	£29.95 Reference:  SMMVBB Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

The main theme of this music comes from Mozart's opera The Magic Flute, a very well-known melody which is sometimes associated with sacred words. It is a beautiful tune which lends itself to variation treatment including these very light-hearted examples. While working on this music, the composer had the idea of incorporating references to other well-known Mozart themes, again, with a rather tongue-in-cheek approach. The result is a high-spirited, flamboyant solo that will be fun to play and to listen to.

Ireland is the home of many fine folk songs, none more charming perhaps than 'The Sally Gardens'. The composer first encountered it in the arrangement by Benjamin Britten. The music has a poignant quality which is rather haunting, reflecting the tone of regret in the last lines of each stanza: "She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs, But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears'.

	Euphonium Concerto - Michael Ball - Euphonium and Piano
	£16.99 Reference:  SMMBECP Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

This is a really outstanding euphonium concerto and deserves to be played a lot more than it is currently.

It was composed in 2002 and premiered by David Childs with the Parc and Dare Band.

Although active in all main areas of composition, in recent years Michael Ball has contributed particularly substantially to the repertoire for wind and brass.

The piece falls naturally into four interconnected sections. A gentle opening, marked 'as if awakening' , leads into an initially aggressive Allegro, gaining in energy and momentum as it proceeds. The succeeding slow movement is lyrical and wistful in character in its outer parts although containing a more urgent central passage this leads into a thoughtful cadenza which in its turn leads without a break into the scherzo finale.

The section now combines new figures with, in its later stages, return to the main ideas from the first movement.

This difficult and very beautiful concerto would suit advanced and professional players.

Stephen Roberts has penned this most attractive setting of this much-loved melody.

Altgough the melodic line is clearly central, there are some lovely extended florid passagesWhich gives the setting a really nice original and fresh touch. A good soloist will really make this sound beautiful and free.

I'm sure this is set to be a very popular work. It was first written in 1999. 

Here is the youtube video where this is performed beautifully by Katrina Marzella and the Black Dyke Band.

The first use of this tune seems to have been as an eighteenth-century rebel song. A hundred years later, Belfast writer Samuel Ferguson wrote these words, that were to make it one of the most famous romantic songs in the tradition.

Here are the lyrics of this popular song:

Dear thoughts are in my mind and my soul it soars enchanted
As I hear the sweet lark sing in the clear air of the day
For a tender beaming smile to my hope has been granted
And tomorrow he shall hear all my fond heart longs to say I will tell him all my love, all my soul's pure adoration
And I know he will hear my voice and he will not answer me nay
It is this that gives my soul all it's joyous elation
As I hear the sweet lark sing in the clear air of the day

When He Cometh

Bandmaster Howard Evans writes of this work, “The song from which this melody comes was originally written for one of the Salvation Army Songster Leader's Councils Festival that took place in the Royal Albert Hall in 1989. Whilst the words are often viewed as a children’s song, they are very poignant. Although the song formed the basis of a major

band work entitled 'Elegiac Variations', I have often been presented with requests for a solo version of the melody. This recording, and the work of Steven, provided the inspiration and impetus to complete a solo version presented here on this disc. I dedicate this solo version to my two lovely daughters, Sarah and Louise."

	Turbulence, Tide and Torque - Concerto for Baritone (or Euphonium) - Peter Graham - solo with piano accompaniment
	£24.95 - £23.50 Reference:  SMGMTTT Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Here is the brand new concerto for baritone (or euphonium) composed for and performed by Katrina Marzella.

Composer Peter Graham writes:

"Turbulence, Tide and Torque can be considered to be a companion piece to my 2008 Euphonium Concerto In League with Extraordinary Gentlemen, and indeed can be performed on Euphonium (vintage or medium bore instrument preferred). Whereas the gentlemen in question in the latter work were fictional (e.g. Sherlock Holmes and Phileas Fogg), the former pays tribute to three real life women who were very much true pioneers and heroines of their age.

Turbulence: Harriet Quimby (b. 1875) was one of the world's best woman aviators, her significant and historic achievement being the first woman to fly across the English Channel. Sadly, in her lifetime very few people were aware of her 1912 accomplishment; potential press coverage was dominated by the sinking of The Titanic only two days before.

 Grace Darling (b. 1815) is a name much more familiar to the public today, and in her lifetime she was lauded as a national heroine. A humble lighthouse keeper's daughter from Northumberland, her participation in the rescue of survivors from the wrecked paddle-steamer Forfarshire is well documented (a museum dedicated to her achievements located in Bamburgh, the town of her birth). This movement, Tide, develops a main theme from my large scale work Harrison's Dream, reflecting on the souls lost in the disaster.

The final movement Torque, opens with a sudden gear change such as might have been undertaken by Dorothy Levitt (b. 1882), the woman's world land speed record holder, in her Napier racing car. Levitt, who following her 1906 record-breaking achievement was described as the Fastest Girl on Earth, went on to write extensively about her experiences, encouraging females to take up motoring through her articles in The Graphic newpaper.

Turbulence, Tide and Torque was commissioned by and is dedicated to Katrina Marzella as part of an Arts Council of England funded residency I was awarded with the Black Dyke Band in 2018.

	£17.50 Reference:  SMBPC Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Ferdinand David (1810— 1873) was a German virtuoso violinist and composer.

David was born in the same house in Hamburg where Felix Mendelssohn had been born the previous year. David was a pupil of Louis Spohr and Moritz Hauptmann and became concertmaster (Konzertmeister) at the Gewandhaus in Leipzig working with Mendelssohn. In 1843 David became the first professor of violin at the newly founded Leipziger Konservatorium fu"r Musik. David worked closely with Mendelssohn, providing technical advice during the preparation of the latter's Violin Concerto. He was also the soloist in the premiere of the work in 1845. David's own compositions number about 50 opuses including Concertinos for violin, bassoon, clarinet & trombone and orchestra. David’s most played piece today is without a doubt his Concertino for trombone and orchestra. This piece is very often used as the test piece for trombonists auditioning for symphony orchestras around the world. His Concertino for bassoon was used as test piece at the Paris Conservatoire. During the first century of the Conservatoire’s existence, the pieces for the competition were mostly written by the bassoon professors but near the end of the 19th century the Conservatoire had a policy of commissioning new works from established composers in most years. The Concertino by Ferdinand David was used as a test piece in 1881. The arrangement for euphonium and piano (or orchestra/band) was made by Luc Vertommen.

	UFO Concerto - Johan de Meij - Euphonium and Brass Band
	£188.00 - £169.00 Reference:  SMUFOBB Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Here is the superb UFO Concerto by the Dutch composer Johan de Meij in the version for euphonium and BRASS BAND.

The composer writes of the work:

UFO Concerto, my first solo work for euphonium and wind orchestra, is not a traditional concerto in the classical sense. It consists of five movements that are thematically related to one another. The opening chord may sound familiar to some listeners: This chord and the first theme are based on the same five-note chord used in ‘Extreme Makeover’ and ‘Planet Earth’ in 2005: a major triad with an added 4th and a 7th. This chord has been obsessively present in my head ever since -- I could not resist using it again! Both the chord as well as the main theme make appearances in various shapes and forms throughout the entire piece.

I Andante – Con moto
II Giocoso – Vivo
III Andante cantabile
IV Vivace
V Alla Marcia – Vivace

Jason Ham, solo-euphonium player with the West Point Band (USA), initiated the consortium for UFO Concerto. He performed the world premiere on February 15th, 2012 in Baltimore (MD) with the Peabody Wind Ensemble, conducted by Harlan Parker. Jason also invited British virtuoso David Childs to join the consortium and play the European performances. At the request of both players, I also made a version for euphonium and brass band. David premiered this version with The Cory Band, conducted by his father Robert Childs at the 2012 RNCM Festival of Brass in Manchester, and recorded the wind version on CD [Extreme Beethoven] with the Banda de Lalín.

The UFO Concerto with piano accompaniment is available elsewhere on this site.

This is the new second set of variations that now exists for euphonium and piano!!
Georges Bizet’s opera Carmen is based on the story of the same title by Prosper Merimee and concerns the renowned Carmen, a beautiful gypsy with a fiery temper. Several well-known pieces from the opera have taken on a life separate to the work: the Prelude (overture), the Toreador song and the Habanera. A number of classical composers have used themes from Carmen as the basis for works of their own. This Carmen Fantasy is a virtuoso showpiece in the tradition of fantasias on operatic themes. Like in the opera, the soloist most not only have a great range, but also exhibit superior dramatic skills in order to portray Carmen’s character. Almost every technical challenge for the brass soloist is contained here or what is more the soloist must fully understand beautiful song like aspect and stylistic demands of this music. This Carmen Fantasy No.2 is mainly based on the ‘fantaisie brillante’ for flute by Francois Borne (1840-1920) which is a staple of the romantic flute repertoire. This is fun to play but not for the faint-hearted. It is a huge challenge for the advanced euphonium player. Fancy a challenge ?? Here it is!

	Pieces Breves Op. 84 - Gabriel Faure Arr. Luc Vertommen - Euphonium and Piano
	£18.50 Reference:  SMBPPB Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

A set of five movements from this suite of pieces by Gabriel Faure.

Faure did not intend these pieces to be published as a set; they were composed as individual works between 1869 and 1902. his publishers, insisted on issuing them together as "Eight Short Pieces" in 1902, the composer successfully demanded that none of the eight must be allocated its own title. When he moved on to another publisher, Hamelle ignored his earlier instructions and issued subsequent editions with titles for each piece.

1. Capriccio  Dedicated to Madame Jean Leonard Koechlin.[Morrison calls it "capricious indeed", and notes a harmonic twist at the end "as nonchalant as it is acrobatic".It was originally written as a sight-reading test for students at the Paris Conservatoire, of which Faure was the professor of composition from 1896 and director from 1905 to 1920.

2. Adagietto An andante moderato, "serious, grave, at once firm and pliant, attaining real beauty" (Koechlin).

3. Improvisation  Orledge calls this piece a middle period "song without words". It was composed as a sight-reading test for the Conservatoire.[

4. Allégresse  "A bubbling perpetuum mobile whose surging romantic feelings are only just kept under restraint" (Orledge). "A song, pure and gay, uplifted to a sunlit sky, a youthful outpouring, full of happiness." (Koechlin).

5. Nocturne  As noted above, this piece stands apart from the larger-scale works to which Fauré gave the title "nocturne". It would not be listed among them were it not for the publisher's unauthorised use of the title in this case. It is the longest of the eight pieces of Op 84, but is much shorter and simpler than the other 12 nocturnes, consisting of a song-like main theme with a delicate semiquaver accompaniment in the left hand.

What a super collection of music, and brilliantly edited and arranged by Gabriel Faure. Movements can of course by played separately.

This solo is another virtuoso piece from Gilles Rocha, dedicated to the superb bass trombonist Lionel Fumeaux.

Despite it's creation for the talened Mr. Fumeaux, it works great on euphonium. There are several writeen glisses, but we can have some fun trying to reaslise these!

In this euphonium edition there are not the crazy pedal tones that we have come to expect from the combination of Rocha and Fumeaux!

	Japanese Dance - Bertrand Moren - Euphonium and Piano
	£14.00 Reference:  SMEMRJD Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Bugaku is a very ancient form of traditional Japanese dance music. Executed only by men at imperial court ceremonies, Bugaku reinforces the gravity of Gagaku by the absence of string instruments. Some pieces are danced with masks, others with the face bare and without make-up. The Togaku (left-hand) dancers enter the stage from the left and are dressed in red with gold ornaments. The Komagaku (right-hand) dancers enter from the right and have blue costumes with silver accessories.

There are three movements in a Bugaku piece : Jo — very slow and free Ha - regular beat, but still slow Kyu - the tempo quickens and concludes the dance. This solo is inspired by Bugaku, trying to recreate the atmosphere of this music and using traditional Japanese modes and rhythms. The structure follows the three parts mentioned above, first a slow free cadenza, then a slow but metrically regular part, then a fast and virtuosic finale. The composer has not however attempted to create authentically Japanese music, because the latter does not use the same tuning, sounds or tonal structure as Western music. This is a free adaptation of oriental music to the Euphonium. Listen to this solo in a version for cornet: https://www.reift.ch/popupPlayerCd.php?id=15028&ModPagespeed=off

	£18.95 Reference:  SMBPC2 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Concertino No.2 - Gauchet PROGRAM NOTES Charles Gauchet (1863—1922) was born in Liege and studied cornet at the conservatory in the class of Dieudonne Gerardy between 1880 and 1888. He won a first prize for fugue in the class of Jean-Théodore Radoux and a first prize for harmony in the class ofJoseph Delsemme and Sylvain Dupuis. Afterwards he became a teacher in a primary school and at the normal school in Liege. He was a member of the orchestra of the Theatre Royal and from 1890 to 1896 he was assistant in Gerardy's class. He conducted the Harmonie des Orphelins for over thirty years. In addition to the opera Else’a, he mainly composed works for brass, including Petit pie‘ce dans Ie style ancien (1893) for trumpet and a Concertina in fminor (1889) for trumpet and piano and a Concertino for horn. For the six-valved trombone, he composed a Romance with piano accompaniment and the well—known (Premier) Concertino with string quintet (or piano) accompaniment and a second Concertina. It was composed for the 1890 competition and dedicated to Emile Daloze, trombone teacher at the Liege conservatoire. The version with piano accompaniment was published in Liege by Veuve Léopod Muraille and the parts for string quintet were found in the archives of the Antwerp conservatoire. The Concertino became hugely popular and was used as test piece in Ghent (1892), Brussels (1894) and Antwerp (1895). Jules Blangenois (teacher at Brussels conservatoire) made a version with wind band or fanfare band accompaniment. It was soon followed by a second Concertino in a more romantic mood. A copy of the original version for trombone and piano is preserved in the library of the Antwerp conservatoire. Both concertinos by Gaucet follow the pattern of a three-movement concerto (fast-slow-fast) and remind us of a more romantic style and language in the style of the Russian national school. Both concertinos (although sadly neglected and unknown) could easily be compared with the much admired Trombone Concerto by Nicolai Rimski-Korsakov composed in 1877. The core of both concertinos is the slow movement which reminds us of the music of Camille Saint Saens and the era of salon music.

	UFO Concerto - Johan de Meij - Euphonium and Brass Band
	£188.00 - £169.00 Reference:  SMUFOBB Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Here is the superb UFO Concerto by the Dutch composer Johan de Meij in the version for euphonium and BRASS BAND.

The composer writes of the work:

UFO Concerto, my first solo work for euphonium and wind orchestra, is not a traditional concerto in the classical sense. It consists of five movements that are thematically related to one another. The opening chord may sound familiar to some listeners: This chord and the first theme are based on the same five-note chord used in ‘Extreme Makeover’ and ‘Planet Earth’ in 2005: a major triad with an added 4th and a 7th. This chord has been obsessively present in my head ever since -- I could not resist using it again! Both the chord as well as the main theme make appearances in various shapes and forms throughout the entire piece.

I Andante – Con moto
II Giocoso – Vivo
III Andante cantabile
IV Vivace
V Alla Marcia – Vivace

Jason Ham, solo-euphonium player with the West Point Band (USA), initiated the consortium for UFO Concerto. He performed the world premiere on February 15th, 2012 in Baltimore (MD) with the Peabody Wind Ensemble, conducted by Harlan Parker. Jason also invited British virtuoso David Childs to join the consortium and play the European performances. At the request of both players, I also made a version for euphonium and brass band. David premiered this version with The Cory Band, conducted by his father Robert Childs at the 2012 RNCM Festival of Brass in Manchester, and recorded the wind version on CD [Extreme Beethoven] with the Banda de Lalín.

The UFO Concerto with piano accompaniment is available elsewhere on this site.

	Cafe 1930 - Astor Piazzolla Arr. Luc Vertommen - Euphonium and Piano
	£18.00 Reference:  SMBPC0 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

I'm delighted to say that we can present this new published arrangement of this much-loved classic from Astor Piazzolla. Several euphonium artists including Steven Mead have performed and recorded this work, and this appears to be a virtually identical arrangements to those played by these artists during the last years.

Congratulations to Luc Vertommen and his company Brass Press VOF For now making this available. It's sure to be very popular indeed.

"Histoire du Tango" Is one of the most famous compositions by tango composer Astor Piazzolla, originally written for flute and guitar in 1986. It was Piazzolla's lifes work to bring the tango from the bordello's and dance halls of Argentina Into the concert halls of Europe and America. It attempted to convey their history and evolution of the tango in four movements, Bordello 1900, Cafe 1930, Nightclub 1960, and Concert d'Aujourd'hui.

Cafe 1930 describes another age of the tango. People stopped dancing it as they did in 1900, preferring instead simply to listen to it. It became more musical, and more romantic. This tango has undergone total transformation: the movements are slower, with new and often melancholy harmonies. Tango orchestras came to consist of two violins, two concertinas, a piano, and a bass. The tango is sometimes sung as well.

Highly recommended

	A Caged Bird - Barbara York - Trombone or Euphonium and Piano
	£14.75 Reference:  SMCCB Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

An attractive work for trombone that will also work well for euphonium, and piano.

Barbara York writes, "This piece was not written specifically in response to either the poem by Maya Angelou or that by Paul Dunbar that both refer to the 'caged bird'. However, there is no doubt that both poems have inspired my own further exploration and now musical extrapolation on the subject of being 'caged' and still 'singing' in spite of this... Even within the many bonds and restrictive boundaries that we often find ourselves, it still seems to be a fundamental part of Nature as both human and spiritual beings that we cannot help but sing in both joy and praise both from ourselves and to our own Creator despite the sometimes, even apparently insurmountable obstacles we encounter."

	Concertino for Euphonium and Concert Band - Rolf Wilhelm
	£68.50 Reference:  SMTMPCWB Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Version with concert band/wind band/harmonie.

This super work was composed for Steven Mead, at the suggestion of Bob Tucci, in 1998. 

The composer wrote: "July 1997 the international tuba and euphonium conference was held under the motto Verson il Millenio at Riva del Garda. During those days that I spent at Lake Garda under sunny Italian skies, I met so many outstanding international instrumentalists and heard so much fascinating and wonderfully interpreted music, that I spontaneously resolved to compose a new work for euphonium. It would be a companion piece to my 1983 Concertino for Tuba and Wind Instruments which we also performed there. The present work is herewith made available to performing artists, and I hope that they, the musicians, as well as the public, receive it as well and enjoy it as much as they did its predecessor. This new work is also a short, uncomplicated peace, striving solely to express the love of music and joie de vivre."   

Written in three movements: Allegro mon troppo; Andante ma non troppo, piacevole; Moderato con animo. A contemporary classic for the euphonium, the Concertino highlights the qualities of the euphonium very well. The opening movement features a slightly technical style with a great energy. There are no extremely awkward sections, but Wilhelm does occasionally use a bar with numerous accidentals. The second movement allows the soloist to show excellent control and features very lovely writing, especially the descending motive that reappears three times. The technique is manageable as the level dictates, but the range does occasionally create problems in the final movement. This remains the main challenge and features the most range extremes. The articulations are very detailed. 

Highly recommended.

	£29.95 Reference:  SMPVMLP Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Originally composed for solo marimba, this popular version of A Little Prayer was made in 1998 following Evelyn Glennie's collaboration with Black Dyke Band during the recording of their Grammy nominated Reflected in Brass CD.  Robert Childs, then principal euphonium with Black Dyke, requested Evelyn's permission to make the arrangement for his son, David.  The composer obliged, and Robert presented the score and parts to his son as a seventeenth birthday present.

Evelyn Glennie revealed: "When I wrote this chorale for marimba, it expressed my spiritual feelings and displayed a pleasantly relaxed dimension of the instrument.  Over the years my exposure to brass bands has filled me with wonder; their musical diversity is considerable.  I had no hesitation in giving A Little Prayer to Robert Childs to bring this little melody to life."

Having composed the work when she was only 13, Evelyn continued: "As a child I would never have believed that such a short and simple piece of music, would come to grow this much.  A little Prayerserves to prove that one should always bet their chips on what they believe in, for nine out of ten it will be worth it!"

After twenty years of exclusivity, Prima Vista Musikk is proud to make this beautiful arrangement available to all.  A Little Prayer provides the perfect reflective interlude for concert or devotional use by euphonium soloists and bands of all abilities.

	Legend of a Big Friendly Giant - Kevin Houben (transcribed Alexandre Korovitch) - Euphonium and Piano
	£14.50 Reference:  SMKHBFG Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

At night The Big Friendly Giant catches dreams and nightmares in jars. Playing on his ´big trumpet´, he gives the beautiful dreams back to the sleeping children and he keeps the nightmares with him.

The composition ´The legend of a big friendly giant´ is all about this ´big trumpet´, in this case the euphonium. The euphonium doesn´t need special effects.

All his lyrical and technical capacities are used in function of creating beautiful musical dreams. As in a classical concerto, the soloist combats with the orchestra. At first they are playing alternately, afterwords they play fraternal together.

This work was created in Torrent (Spain) and dedicated to Steven Mead and Frank De Vuyst.

 

​Kevin Houben was born in Peer (Belgium) in 1977.

At the Lemmens Institute in Leuven, he attained a first prize in trumpet (with Leon Pétré) and pedagogy.

	£113.00 - £108.00 Reference:  SMAMPLSI Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Another superb lyrical work by Philip Sparke for euphonium and wind orchestra.

This is a new one and deserves to be widely performed!

The Legend of Spirit Island was commissioned by the Twin Ports Wind Orchestra, Duluth, Minnesota (Mark Whitlock, conductor), to honour the euphonium player, Dick Carlson. The piece takes its title from a local legend about Spirit Island, which lies in a gap of the St. Louis River called Spirit Lake. The legend tells the story of Chaska, the son of a Dakota Chief, and Wetona, the daughter of Ojibwe Chief Buckado. He was handsome and she was beautiful; it wasn’t long before they fell in love. This is a challenging euphonium solo in which the versatile soloist can explore very expressive melodic sequences, as well as energetic, technical sections.

The range isn't too extended, high C (TC) and one optional high D!, so it's accessible for many players with their wind orchestras, and for guest soloists looking for a beautiful contrasting work in the programme.

Hauntingly beautiful!

Dreamsong was commissioned by Geir Ulseth and the Nidaros Brass Band from Trondheim, Norway. After a short introduction, the soloist introduces a rather nostalgic melody, accompanied by the lower brass parts. A fast central section is then played by the band, which leads to a climax. Eventually, the main melody played by the solo cornet and flugel horn returns, overlaid with an ornamented counter-melody from the soloist, who then closes the piece with a short cadenza.

A really beautiful new solo, very 'playable' from the pen of the band world's favourite composers and one who has contributed so many quality works for the euphonium over the years!

	Fantasia - Gordon Jacob - Euphonium and Piano
	£19.99 - £18.95 Reference:  SMGJF Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

One of the earliest major works written for the euphonium, Gordon Jacob's Fantasia remains a standard work in the repertoire. Its haunting opening melody, fun and quirky Allegro section, lyrical melodic writing, triple tonguing intensity, low muted section, and demanding cadenza make it a composition worthy of performance. There are numerous ossias to assist with range limitations and the technical demands will prove a challenge for many players, but this should certainly be a familiar piece for all serious euphonium players. 

This is undoubtedly one of our most important pillars in our historic original euphonium repertoire. It has for many years being a standard audition work for wind orchestra auditions and examination recitals.

	Concerto for Euphonium - Robert Jager - Euphonium and Piano (BC only)
	£16.50 Reference:  SMRJC Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Robert Jager's Concerto for Euphonium was originally commissioned as a concerto for trombone and orchestra, But in 1996 the composer decided to rewrite and rescore the work as a concerto for euphonium with accompaniments for band, symphony orchestra and piano.The Concerto for Euphonium is a highly demanding work for both soloist and the accompaniment. The outer movements are filled with rhythmic and metric complexities that demand a virtuoso group of musicians is the second movement, while less technically demanding, requires mature musicianship because of its sensitive lines and shaded instrumental colours.

After a dramatic introduction dominated by euphonium the first movement moves into a highly rhythmic dialogue between soloist and accompaniment.

The second movement is designed to be played at slowly and reflectively. It is this mood, one of reflection, that dominates the quasi-impressionistic character of the music.

The third movement returns to the fiery rhythmic character of the first movement but this time more emphasis is placed upon mixed and is symmetrical metres so that the solid feel of the barline is lost.The form of this movement is that of a Rondo, and in the typical capricious mood of the Rondo literally rushes headlong into an exciting and brilliant finale.

Written in three movements:  Slowly, Dramatically, Freely; Slowly, Reflectively; Brightly, but Forcefully.  This challenging work features high intensity writing that translates to complex rhythms and syncopations.  Flutter tonguing, lip trills, double tonguing, rapid meter changes, awkward trills and sections in seven flats encapsulate most of the difficulties of the work.  Yet, its vigor and drive, especially in the third movement, can compensate the performer and listener for these challenges.  The second movement has some nice recitative sections with ornamental runs.  A strong addition to the more contemporary repertoire of the euphonium.

This work deserves to be more widely used in recitals, concerts and competitions!

John Stevens wrote Soliloquies for euphonium soloist Demondrae Thurman. Since its premiere in October 2000, the work has been programmed on many euphonium recitals, has appeared on the lists for several euphonium solo competitions. One of the finest unaccompanied pieces in the literature, it should be a staple in any euphonium player’s repertoire. 

In three movements, each movement present significant challenges for the soloist, in terms of intervallic leaps, wide intervals, difficult technical passges and extremes of range. 

Highly recommended.

	Scaramouche - Philip Sparke - Baritone or Euphonium and Piano
	£19.99 - £18.00 Reference:  SMAMPSC Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Scaramouche - Baritone or Euphonium Solo (with piano 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!

A fine collection of 20 easy pieces for Euphonium and Piano. A separate piano accompaniment is supplied, and the solo parts are published in both treble and bass clef.

From the pubishers: "The pieces in Bravo! Euphonium take the student progressively through the early grades.They consist mainly of original material, with a few arrangements too, some well known, some more unusual. These pieces are intended to encourage the student to perform, rather than merely play, whenever the opportunity arises. All too often, the early stages of learning an instrument can be a solitary process. Whenever possible, these pieces should be played with their keyboard accompaniments. Hearing the keyboard parts will lead to an awareness and appreciation of different musical styles and a sense of harmony, not just the melody. In addition, playing with an accompaniment develops the pupils ability to maintain his or her own part while listening to another.

Highly recommended for the beginner player who is starting to develop well.

2. Translucent (8')

3. Opaque (5')

	Euphonium Concerto Op.120 - Derek Bourgeois - Euphonium and Piano
	£18.75 Reference:  SMBW007 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Here is one of the euphonium's most fearsome yet lyrical challenges, the Euphonium Concerto by Derek Bourgeois, commissioned and first performed by Wendy Picton.

Derek Bourgeois composed his Euphonium Concerto in the spring of 1990. It is a straightforward tuneful work in three contrasted movements. The first movement is in regular sonata form with a lively first subject that has a strong rhythmic character. The second subject is lyrical and wistful. The development is mainly concerned with material derived from the opening subject. The movement concludes with a jaunty coda.

The second movement again has two main themes. The first is slow and melancholy with a marching bass line. The second is more overtly melodic with lush accompanying harmonies.

The finale is brief, highly rhythmical, and in three sections. There is some complex time juggling in the outer portions, though the character of the music is light hearted. The central episode is more lyrical, with a close affinity to the second subject of the first movement.

The whole piece makes great virtuosic demands on the soloist, who for much of the time plays in a high tessitura. It calls for tremendous agility, yet also requires musicianship and shaping in its more reflective moments.

A version for Euphonium and Brass Band is available from the composer.

A magnificent concerto and a monumental challenge for the advanced soloist.

This is an outstanding fresh new composition for euphonium and electronic accompaniment (on CD).

It was commissioned by the Canadian euphonium player Carina Lam, while she was studying at the RNCM with Steven Mead. The composer, Thomas Kelly B.1989 Is a Dublin born composer and trombonist currently based in Manchester.

 The piece is set outside of the earth's atmosphere, in space. It explores the idea of a person being completely detached from anything (Set Adrift) and having no human contact. There are three sections in this piece each with their own emotional ranges. The opening section has a feeling of loneliness, while the middle section has a feeling of enjoyment which turns to despair as the piece fades out into the dark, and unending universe.

This work was recorded on Steve's Dream Times album, and a sample of this work and others from this album can be heard here.

Just released, the piano accompaniment version of this simply brilliant solo by Herman Pallhuber.

BLISS - now released for Euph & Piano. First Performed in 2011 by Steven Mead for Wind and BrassBand, performed recently at RNCM Brass Band Festival in Manchester in its present form (transcribed by Peter Knockaert). 

In two main sections, the first being expressive and quite slow and then, following a short cadenza, a stunning rhythmic and virtuosic Allergo Vivace. A central slower contrasting section introduces the main 'blissful' them which then returns in the finale. A huge crowd pleaser.

From the publishers, Beriato Music : Bliss is one of the most spectacular euphonium solos around. It was commissioned by the euphonium virtuoso, Steven Mead. This two-part concerto brings all the characteristics of the instrument into the spotlight: it contains a slow, colourful section that resembles a typical English air, in which the full round warmth of the instrument is revealed, followed by an extremely virtuoso, dynamic fast movement. A great one for any soloist looking for a challenge!

	Symphony Concertante - Roland Szentpali - Euphonium and Piano
	£23.95 - £22.75 Reference:  SMBIM19 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

The Symphony Concertante was commissioned by the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra and premiered by the composer himself in July 2015 on serpent, cimbasso, ophicleïde and saxhorn. Roland Szentpali dedicates this work to his friend Steven Mead and to his French friends who play saxhorn and the French instruments.

This is a really outstanding addition to the euphonium repertory. Roland Szentpali is a supremely gifted composer, in addition to his tuba performing skills. His Pearls and PearlsII as well as his Sketches1998 have been well-received by performers and audiences. There is a freshness and spontaneity about his music.

With Symphony Concertante we see a maturing of his harmonic and melodic language, which ranks this is one of the most important works composed for our instrument in recent years.

The first movement is entitled Introduction, which alternates between some recitatives as well as bold striking gesture in an Allegro tempo. The recitative section returns at the end before a dramatic climax.

The second movement is entitled Passepied (a Breton dance similar to a quick minuet, popular in the 17th and 18th centuries.) and is absolutely charming and intoxicating.

The third moment, From Nora, once again shows Roland bringing elements of his personal and family life into his compositions, and here the music is a times passionate, gentle. it ends peacefully .

The final movement 'Play, is in a super-fast tempo, quarter note equals 240! As you might expect it is indeed fun to 'play', and you need three very fast fingers to coordinate all this at tempo. The quick figures are interspersed with a couple of andante sections with a short and exuberant finale, ending on high concert C.

This work is really highly recommended by Steve, and of course he is honoured to receive the dedication this work, along with mutual low brass friends, very active in France.

	Euphonium Concerto - Vladimir Cosma - Euphonium and Piano
	£73.60 - £68.50 Reference:  SMLMC Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Returning to the Euphonium Store is the famous Euphonium Concerto by Vladimir Cosma.

This is an epic and majestic euphonium concerto, written very much in a Spanish style, especially the two outer movements.

The middle movement, Andantino, is beautifully reflective and passionate.

 

One of the most challenging and rewarding solos in the repertoire, this concerto embodies in many ways the spirit of Paganini and Liszt for the euphonium and represents one of the most outstanding selections for euphonium and large ensemble.  It features virtuoso technique, intense melody, and a need for panache and flair.  The technical and range challenges are formidable, but WELL worth the practice.  Of particular note involves the flexibility, clarity, and tone quality needed in the low range from BB-flat to F as there are numerous sections of slurred and tongued passages in these ranges.  There is also a strong need for excellent double and triple tonguing as Cosma wrote the final few sections with the violin (his instrument) in mind versus the euphonium, so some of the passages are not as idiomatic as they could be.  The Andantino creates an atmosphere mindful of Piazzolla, the famous tango writer.  The melody sails with the euphonium.  This piece stands at the top of the list of recommended repertoire for those capable.  Taking this challenge will be extremely rewarding and the only caveat involves the cost of the large ensemble rental parts (more than $400) and the piano reduction.  The publisher has chosen to make these choices and they greatly hinder the wide spread of this fantastic work. 

I do feel I should apologise for the cost of this work, as it is very expensive. Since its release, the publishing company Larghetto Music has sought to make this perhaps the highest priced sheet music for euphonium and piano that exists. It is disappointing. Compare this to the price of the Horovitz or Sparke concerti.

Anyway, it's here and if you wish to play it, legally!!, you need to buy it!

Please enjoy this wonderful music

	Euphonium Concerto - Yukka Linkola - Euphonium and Piano
	£38.95 Reference:  SMFGL1 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

This is certainly near the top of the list of super impressive euphonium concertos we have, and that this was composed just over 20 years ago by the Finnish composer Yukka Linkola, who is equally skilled in the jazz world as he is in the modern classical world.

This concerto came to prominence thanks to the performances and CD recording by the Finnish euphonium star Yukka Myllys.

It goes without saying that this work is not for the fainthearted. The high range peaks at high concert F and goes down as low as pedal Eb.

It is quite beautiful music, with a few gentle jazz elements heard. This is very clever writing indeed and this concerto has justifiably and its place in perhaps one of the top five euphonium concertos in existence.

Total duration, depending on tempi is 26-27 minutes, and the concerto is in three movements.

Once again this book makes for very interesting and relaxing practice, but of course it is a step up in difficulty from book 1, and will make a nice challenge for high school and intermediate players. The accompaniment is a delight on the ears, and as with volume one, you have a piano part, and also this CD backing, which you can also perform. I'm convinced this series is going to prove to be very popular, as it is incidentally already in France.

The two books in the series are very special in terms of what it offers the musician. This book, volume one, is really aimed at a young, junior high school player, but I'm convinced that many older players will also enjoy this too. The CD accompaniment is very well done, and many of the pieces are in the kind of pseudo-French folksong style, but with some very interesting harmonies and twists that make for very interesting study and hopefully enjoyable performances. There are 18 pieces in total here and arrange in duration from about 2-4 minutes for each piece.

	Euphonium Concerto No.1 - John Golland - solo euphonium with piano accompaniment
	£15.00 Reference:  SMCMJG1 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Here is the classic Euphonium Concerto No.1 by John Golland, published by Chester Music.

It is one of the absolute classics from euphonium repertoire, and recently recorded by Steve on his new album Lyrical Virtuoso.

John Golland wrote some extraordinary music in his life, and perhaps none finer than the works he wrote for euphonium, in particular his two concerti. The first was given its premiere in 1981 by Bob Childs whilst on tour in Australia with the Grimethorpe Colliery Band.

 Although the music can be divided into three quite separate movements, it is performed without breaks, and each movement has quite clearly defined characteristics.  It was written quite autobiographically and the underlying darkness of much of the music reflects the physical difficulties from which the composer suffered all his life. Richard Strauss in his masterwork Ein Heldenleben had showed us the full extent of such self-representation in music, and here with this Euphonium Concerto we are taken on a rollercoaster of emotions, that culminate in intensity at the close of the beautiful slow movement, where the euphonium accompanied by the slow heartbeat of a bass drum seems to represent the very life  spirit of the composer hanging by a thread.  The final movement is joyous and celebratory, perhaps another life hurdle temporarily overcome. John Golland died shortly after his 50th birthday

	The Four Elements (Partita for Solo Euphonium and Piano) - Martin Ellerby
	£17.00 Reference:  SMSM22 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

The EuphoniumStore is proud to introduce a stunning new work from the pen of Martin Ellerby. This is a very advanced work for very mature performers!

Martin Ellerby: The Four Elements (Partita for Solo Euphonium and Brass Band) Commissioned by and dedicated to the Black Dyke Band (Musical Director Professor Nicholas J. Childs) and Gary Curtin (euphonium) with funds made available by the John Golland Trust.

This is the version for euphonium and piano.

Composer Martin Ellerby writes:

"The first performance was given by these forces in the RNCM Concert Hall, Manchester, on 23 January 2015 as part of the RNCM Festival of Brass.

The Four Elements was written for Gary Curtin and the Black Dyke Band as part of a recording project of my music for brass band, released in 2015.

Having previously written a large scale concerto for the euphonium I decided to write something much more concise though still enabling the soloist to display flair and lyricism in equal measure. I aimed at around two minutes per movement, which meant I would be creating a set of miniatures, and based each on one of the four elements of earth, water, air and fire though they are primarily given their Latin names of terra aqua aer ignis in the score. The term is used to indicate that the work is a collection, or suite of pieces, and in keeping with former examples uses both song and dance forms to provide suitable musical structures.

1. Terra (Earth) an intrada set in ABABAC form in which A, for the band, is built on a 12 note row, B is a duet between the soloist and elements of the band and C an enigmatic . The ‘elemental’ interval of a perfect 5th proves dominant in all aspects of the opening movement.

2. Aer (Air) cast in the form of a fleeting scherzando - the music makes play between the rhythmic possibilities of contrasting common and compound time signatures giving it an unsettled edge.

The flavour is light and breezy, possibly somewhat oriental in manner.

3. Aqua (Water) a lyrical interlude or intermezzo , where the soloist has more of a free reign to their lines and the band support in a delicate legato style.

4. Ignis (Fire) - the virtuosic fianel celebrates the spirit of a pagan dance. Much use is made of mixed metres and the cornets and trombones remain muted throughout giving a metallic quality to the ensemble. Just prior to the climax proper there is heard a fiery statement of the traditional Dies Irae (‘Day of Wrath’) melody in the form of a band interlude.

One other point of interest is that of the percussion section which I have tried to vary in each section, acknowledging their vital contribution to the overall sound world. ‘Earth’ has darker combinations of timpani, marimba, bass drum, a low suspended cymbal and tam-tam. ‘Air’ utilises two antiphonally placed glockenspiels, a bright suspended cymbal and triangle. ‘Water’features delicate tuned percussion consisting of vibraphone, a ‘guest’celesta, crotales and a binding mark-tree. ‘Fire’ exploits most of what has not gone before with rhythmic, punchy bongoes, side drum, xylophone and timpani plus a set of tubular bells, cymbals and tam-tam in the closing stages."

	£17.95 - £16.95 Reference:  SMWM15 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Arranger and Music Editor Eric Wilson has provided euphonium players with another gem! 

Saint-Saëns didn’t write this piece for euphonium, of course – the title is the arranger's. He did, though, toward the end of his life, write sonatas for three ‘neglected’ instruments: oboe, clarinet, and in 1921, bassoon. It's from this, his final work, that the present transcription has been made. Aimed to fill a gap in the euphonium repertory of material of some substance suitable for advanced recital use by advanced players who can boast great technique and a full command of the instrument’s range. Following the classical three movement model an opening movement alternates between major and minor key areas. A perky scherzo follows; also trading major and minor key sections in a virtuosic jaunt. (This movement works well as a stand-alone piece, too.) The interesting final movement begins with an extended adagio before a fast, showy final section requiring great panache!  Highly recommended Difficulty 4/6 Duration: approx 13 mins Supplied with : piano part, solo part TC and BC (incl tenor clef)

	Sonata for Tuba and Piano - Martin Ellerby
	£15.00 Reference:  SMMEM002 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Programme Notes:

This Sonata for Bass Tuba, in one movement, was written for James Gourlay and this set of music comes complete with a CD of the Sonata, performed by James Gourlay.

The work is designed as a recital piece and is as concise in structure as the composer deemed possible. Cast in a single movement there are three independent 'mood' sections each of a contrasting nature. Mood 1 (Agitato) opens the work with a 'fanfare' style motif followed by a 'tango' subject. These alternate until Mood 2 (Delicato) is reached and a much more expressive quality emerges. Mood 1 returns briefly to be followed by a return of the Mood 2 material. This then leads into a new, and once only played, Mood 3 (Tranquillo – misterioso) in which the solo instrument is muted. The work closes with Mood 1 plus an additional coda/cadenza finale section which exhausts the 'tango' properties. The work has a tonal centre of F (it certainly begins and ends on that pitch) though moves around on a pair of related note rows, one aggressive, the other mild to provide contrasts based on classical sonata principles. As a closing comment, the tango property was included not just because I wanted a more familiar aspect to be present and something which audiences could relate to but, mischievously, because the work's dedicatee is married to a dancer, albeit a Brazilian and not an Argentinian!

 The first performance of this work was given by James Gourlay (tuba) in the Bruckner Haus, Linz, Austria on 29th June 2012 as part of the International Tuba/Euphonium Conference. 

 James Gourlay also gave the US premiere with Siu Yan Luk (piano) in the Ford Hall, Ithaca College, School of Music, on 19th April 2013 as part of the North East Regional Tuba & Euphonium Conference.

These relatively new additions to the literature can really be useful to young players. With the employment of the piano CD the students will have to learn to keep good time and will also learn better intonation at a faster rate. The trombone part as transcribed from Bordogni is slightly different at times from the Rochut editions, but Schwartz does a good job indicating these differences. He also provides a list for comparison between the two edition numbers. Other benefits of the book are that there are 3 etudes provided again in different keys at the end of the book, and 2 etudes with faster tempos (although in one of these cases it is difficult to make music at such a tempo). Schwartz also provides a nice overview of Bordogni and concisely explains his edition. Overall this is a welcome addition to our literature, for we now have the ability to rehearse these famous etudes with a CD accompaniment, and it is likely that some may use these for public performances. Grade 2-3.

Comments from Teachers

"David, you have made a monumental contribution to trombone instruction, now and for the future."

- Richard W. Bowles, Gainesville, FL

"David, Thank You! My students and I love it. In my studio Bordogni/Rochut will be phased out and replaced with Bordogni/Schwartz. Thanks for providing this valuable service to the trombone community."

- Nathaniel O. Brickens, University of Texas at Austin

"David, I have my students working out of book one of your set and they are enjoying it immensely. Now that they have the CD versions you have done, they don't know how they ever played them without --- I had one girl yesterday who sang the piano intro before she began playing --- pretty darned neat!"

- Peter Ellefson, Indiana University

"David, Congratulations on your Bordogni editions. The Bordogni-Rochut vocalises have served as the musical basis for most trombonists' legato and "singing" standards. How wonderful it is to have them available in new editions which include CD piano accompaniments. Trombonists have the opportunity to develop and refine their harmonic understanding in the practice room."

- Tom Everett, Harvard University, Founder ITA

"David, You'll be happy to know that I have officially stopped using Rochut. All my students are now directed to use your editions. The accompaniments make such a difference in their practice and I appreciate the scholarly information and advice."

- Mike Hall, Old Dominion University

"David, Good for you! Your series of Bordogni etudes with accompaniment CD are a great addition to my active teaching and practicing materials. I use them to promote good intonation, rhythm, musicality, memorization and ensemble techniques. The simplicity of the accompaniments provides structure but places the musical responsibility upon the trombonist. Buzzing along with the CD in the car is a fun and easy, no-hands approach that not only serves as a good warm-up, but improves clarity of pitch and flexibility with pleasant melodies rather than rigid exercise."

- Richard W. Bowles, Gainesville, FL

"David, Thank You! My students and I love it. In my studio Bordogni/Rochut will be phased out and replaced with Bordogni/Schwartz. Thanks for providing this valuable service to the trombone community."

- Nathaniel O. Brickens, University of Texas at Austin

"David, I have my students working out of book one of your set and they are enjoying it immensely. Now that they have the CD versions you have done, they don't know how they ever played them without --- I had one girl yesterday who sang the piano intro before she began playing --- pretty darned neat!"

- Peter Ellefson, Indiana University

"David, Congratulations on your Bordogni editions. The Bordogni-Rochut vocalises have served as the musical basis for most trombonists' legato and "singing" standards. How wonderful it is to have them available in new editions which include CD piano accompaniments. Trombonists have the opportunity to develop and refine their harmonic understanding in the practice room."

- Tom Everett, Harvard University, Founder ITA

"David, You'll be happy to know that I have officially stopped using Rochut. All my students are now directed to use your editions. The accompaniments make such a difference in their practice and I appreciate the scholarly information and advice."

- Mike Hall, Old Dominion University

"David, Good for you! Your series of Bordogni etudes with accompaniment CD are a great addition to my active teaching and practicing materials. I use them to promote good intonation, rhythm, musicality, memorization and ensemble techniques. The simplicity of the accompaniments provides structure but places the musical responsibility upon the trombonist. Buzzing along with the CD in the car is a fun and easy, no-hands approach that not only serves as a good warm-up, but improves clarity of pitch and flexibility with pleasant melodies rather than rigid exercise."

	£18.00 Reference:  SMBV3 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Perhaps the most famous instrumental vocalises, now you can enjoy them with piano accompaniment on the supplied CD.

Please note the solo part is in Bass Clef.

The Bordogni Vocalises have been transcribed by David Schwartz for trombone or euphonium. This volume (3) includes 24 vocalises along with an audio compact disc with Bordogni's original piano accompaniments for all 24 vocalises.

The perfect way to develop your 'vocal' style !

Difficulty level 3/6

Supplied with solo part in BC and accompanying CD.

 

These relatively new additions to the literature can really be useful to young players. With the employment of the piano CD the students will have to learn to keep good time and will also learn better intonation at a faster rate. The trombone part as transcribed from Bordogni is slightly different at times from the Rochut editions, but Schwartz does a good job indicating these differences. He also provides a list for comparison between the two edition numbers. Other benefits of the book are that there are 3 etudes provided again in different keys at the end of the book, and 2 etudes with faster tempos (although in one of these cases it is difficult to make music at such a tempo). Schwartz also provides a nice overview of Bordogni and concisely explains his edition. Overall this is a welcome addition to our literature, for we now have the ability to rehearse these famous etudes with a CD accompaniment, and it is likely that some may use these for public performances. Grade 2-3.

	Full brass band set - Euphonium Concerto - Karl Jenkins
	£74.95 - £73.50 Reference:  SMBBCJC Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

This highly popular concerto has already become a favourite of many euphonium players, and now here it is in the full version with brass band.

This work was commissioned by David Childs who gave the first performance with the BBC Concert Orchestra at the Last Night of the Welsh Proms in 2009. 25 minutes in duration, the concerto is in four movements rather than three, loosely following the 'head-heart-feet-whole body' format of (humanist) symphonic design. Jenkins has stated, 'As is my wont, I've endeavoured to make the concerto somewhat quirky and "off the wall".'

It is a work overridingly designed to connect with the listener, arguably Jenkins' greatest gift and a task it achieves with considerable aplomb. The individual movements also stand alone equally well when presented as individual solo items. 

This version, with brass band accompaniment, is a fantastic addition to the repertoire for any serious 21st century euphonium player!

	Nocturne and Dance - Meryn Burtch - Euphonium and Piano
	£14.95 - £14.75 Reference:  SMLEA09 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Nocturne and Dance was commissioned by David Childs and was written in November and December 2012, receiving its first performance by David Childs and Christopher Williams on 13th October 2013 during a recital at Cardiff University's Concert Hall forming part of the Arcomis International Brass Event.

The Nocturne (A Dream) opens with a slow, quiet, and rather menacing slow march on the piano, while the euphonium has a quieter and less aggressive role. Tension rises as the music for both instruments becomes more agitated, faster, and louder. Whatever the dream is, it is increasingly disturbing until the sleeper wakes and the tension subsides. The opening music now returns, but the menace is held in check: the nocturne fades away.

The Dance, by contrast, is a much more extrovert movement with each instrument playing off rhythmically against the other in a texture that becomes more and more complex, leading eventually to a final flourish bringing reconciliation between the two instruments.

	Let There Be Funk - D.Edward Davis - Amplified Euphonium, Octave Effects Pedal and Digital Playback
	£14.95 Reference:  SMLEA08 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Let There Be Funk was premiered by tubist Rex Martin in February 2002 at Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. The music is as it suggests, mostly written in a funk style with the occasional lyrical interlude.

The funk passages move between tempos in a schizophrenic way, deliberately unsettling the listener and cleverly weaving a structure that builds throughout the work.

Although originally intended for Tuba, the music is performed here by using Euphonium and guitar octave effect pedal. The resulting double octave effect and sound distortion is ideal for the writing.
The electronic track is performed by Brian James, Mark Carlson, Rex Martin and the composer D. Edward Davis.

The backing track for this piece is available as a free download from this page.

	Phoenix Song - David Harrington - Euphonium and Piano
	£14.95 - £14.75 Reference:  SMLEA07 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Phoenix Song is a dramatic and challenging fantasy for Euphonium and Piano. The piece was inspired by the myth surrounding the great firebird of Persian legend. According to the story, the Phoenix spends 1000 years living on earth before returning to its nest, only to incinerate itself in enveloping flames as if part of an eternal ritual. The spirit of the bird is then released and reborn in a new body. I wanted to recreate this enchanting lifecycle in music using the Euphonium to personify the legendary bird, and capture the song that the Phoenix sings on its perpetual journey.

The work is divided into a storyboard of events beginning with the bird's flight back to the nest, a reflection on the nostalgia of its heroic life, moving onto the discovery of the nest, the incineration and finally the rebirth of the bird.

The Euphonium part is highly decorated and aims to sound organic and improvisatory, particularly during the quasi-cadenza at the very beginning. Virtuoso, precise and expressive playing is required in the faster sections. The Euphonium is given much lyrical writing in equal measure to passages requiring aggressive gusto and command by contrast.

The role of the accompaniment is to reinforce the scene painting, whilst twisting and turning the thematic material, propelling the story forward. The very heavy sounding piano passages extending to all registers of the instrument reflect the vast life span of the bird, coupled with violent flutter tonguing from the Euphonium (towards the end of the work) to resemble the furious flames of the nest.

The final section is very tonal, with celestial semi-quaver decorations in the piano part and a warm, cantabile Euphonium theme that should sing high in the instrument's range, soaring like the firebird it seeks to represent.

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.”

	Tiamat - Lucy Pankhurst - Euphonium and Brass Quintet
	£14.95 Reference:  SMLEA06 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Tiamat is an exploratory programmatic work for solo euphonium and brass quintet, one of the new works in The Leading Edge series of contemporary works for euphonium. The title hails the name of a dragon, from the fantasy role-playing adventure game and the 1980s children's cartoon: Dungeons & Dragons. Tiamat is a five-headed dragon. Each head is a different colour and has its own elemental properties:

LIGHTNING/blue (trumpet 1), ACID/black (trumpet 2), ICE/white (horn), FIRE/red (trombone), and POISON/green (tuba)

The instruments of the quintet each represent one of these heads. Each element has its own specific theme in the piece, introduced by its relative instrument. The thematic ideas for each element are intended to be a musical representation of its properties and effects.

LIGHTNING - disjointed staccato notes.
ACID - repeated 3-note pattern, overlapping in texture, abrasive.
ICE - repeated staccato (and stopped) notes with a dim. Brittle, yet sharp.
FIRE - flutter-tongue/trem. effects.
POISON - descending chromatic scale, oozing, seeping.

The ‘rip's in the quintet are intended to be the snapping and biting of the jaws of the dragon.

The solo euphonium takes the role of the hero in the tale, who has sworn to defeat the dragon and restore peace to the surrounding lands.

Here is Skunk - one of the new Leading Edge series of publications, in contemporary idiom, and perfect for the recital use where the soloist needs a modern work with fresh original colours and In demanding in range for the soloist.

its original form, Skunk was first performed by David Childs and Simon Parkin on January 26th 2001 at the RNCM Festival of Brass. Following subsequent revisions, the work later received its official premiere on January 7th 2004 in London's Purcell Room on the South Bank, performed by David Childs and pianist Harvey Davies.

Composed in a jazz-rock idiom the work seeks to explore both the technical and lyrical boundaries of the euphonium soloist and pianist. The music is rhythmically complex throughout and following a return to the original material; Skunk comes to an abrupt end with a series of fortissimo grunt noises depicting the sound a skunk might make!

	Kuklos - Deri Roberts - Euphonium and Tape (Digital Playback)
	£14.95 - £14.75 Reference:  SMLEA04 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Here is Kuklos, another from the new Leading Edgew series of contemporary works for euphonium.

Kuklos, meaning ‘full circle' in Greek, portrays a performer practising alone in an empty hall. This is reflected in the work's three sections, the first of which incorporates the performer walking into the hall and taking the instrument from its case. The piece then starts when the mouthpiece is placed, triggering a delay effect in the tape part. This then continues with sounds associated with an off stage warm up; blowing air through the instrument, checking valves, and long notes. This all becomes intertwined with the pre-recorded tape (digital playback track).

The second section is more virtuosic and incorporates many extended techniques such as multiphonics, half valve glissandi, flutter tongue, and singing through the instrument. This is then followed by a final ‘warm down' section, incorporating the soloist playing a choral before packing away his instrument, and leaving the hall.

The harmonic material of the solo euphonium is based on 2 harmonic series; the first being concert Bb at 58.27Hz, the second introduced later in the piece being concert C at 65.4Hz. For this reason the piece could be described as Spectral in its compositional style. We first hear the introduction of the harmonic series in the tape part as a distant descending scale, and as this moves to the foreground, it slowly starts affecting the soloist's harmonic material.

The tape part was constructed entirely from recorded euphonium sounds played by David Childs. The composer treated these sounds in the studio using a wide variety of manipulative software. Some of which consisted: Ring Modulation, Transposition, GRM, Resonators, Spectral Inverter and delay. Kuklos received its first performance on 28th June 2004 at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama performed by David Childs in the presence of the composer.

Here is Nightwalker, one of the pieces in the new Leading Edge Series of contemporary works for euphonium.

Nightwalker was originally composed in 2002 for Linda Merrick (Clarinet) and Philip Mead (Piano) and received its premiere at Vestry Hall, London College of Music, October 2002. Nightwalker was re-arranged into its current form for subsequent performances, with the piano part incorporated into the Digital Playback.

Written originally as a Clarinet piece, this version for Euphonium was adapted for David Thornton and was first performed at the New Zealand International Brass Festival, 22nd September 2012, Wellington Salvation Army Hall, Wellington, NZ. 

Nightwalker depicts a descent into nightmare. The Euphonium assumes the role of the dreamer, with the CD providing the soundworld of the nightmare itself. Wind, thunder, and lightning are intertwined with ghostly footsteps, bells ringing, various forms of wildlife, and a whole host of other sounds in what is a light-hearted take on the whole genre of ‘horror’.

The score is laid out with the Euphonium part sandwiched between the guide track that contains reference points for the SFX, and an outline of the original piano part. Timings are given in minutes and seconds and correspond to the Digital Playback timing.

Here is another brand new work, part of the Leading Edge series of contemporary works for the euphonium.

Jazz Disasters was premiered by David Childs, the dedicatee of the work during a solo recital at the Bridgewater Hall Manchester in 2004. The genres of music I'm most influenced by are jazz, and the "Barbaric" tendency of early 20th century composers like Bartók and Stravinsky. I suppose they have rhythmic ostinato in common, and to me, having at one time played guitar in a big band, the marriage between (in this case) funk and brass seems a natural one.

David had a big input into my piece, encouraging me to explore the extreme regions of the instrument, and of its virtuoso capabilities. It is a kind of collision between the "Balkan" rhythms of the first and last sections and the funk-fusion feel of the middle, with some walking bass thrown in for good measure. The piece should feel like a runaway train, always on the point of coming off the tracks.

	£14.95 - £14.75 Reference:  SMLEA01 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Here is a new contemporary work, part of the Leading Edge series of original compositions for the euphonium. About 'Calling', the composer writes, "Very often, it seems, my music takes on a life of its own. I wasn't sure what I was going to do when I started this composition but it didn't take long for the piece to decide what it wanted to be. The sources of the tape part are not important. The inspiration for the Euphonium line is not important. In my mind, this piece simply IS.  The title, Calling seemed appropriate to me since, to my ears, it sounds as if the soloist is calling out to this eternal droning E-flat that is omnipresent. In some ways, this feels like the first work in this style that I have ever composed. In other ways, it feels like I've been writing this way forever."

More about the Leading Edge Series :

“The Leading Edge is a series of solo works for euphonium that push boundaries. The formats and structures are varied, using composers from many different backgrounds, but the concept is a constant: to provide our repertoire with fresh blood. The works are innovative yet practical; pushing boundaries isn’t always about being super contemporary or extraordinarily difficult, though there are certainly some challenging pieces presented here!

The compositional process is fascinating, how new ideas come to fruition and are given a voice through the chosen instrument. The composers involved in this project have been selected very carefully – musicians who see their work as having a distinct voice and strive for this in their musical language or sound worlds within their music.

From unaccompanied works to electro-acoustic repertoire, from conventional form with piano to programmatic music with chamber groups, the series covers a broad spectrum of styles that will suit euphonium players with the desire to find new expressive avenues for our instrument. We have enjoyed learning and performing these pieces as we hope you do too.”

	Adagio and Allegro Op.70 - R.Schumann Arr. S.Johnson - Euphonium and Piano
	£9.95 Reference:  SMBWP03 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Schumann composed the Adagio and Allegro Opus 70 for Horn and Piano in 1849. In this work he explored some of the possibilities created by the invention of the valve system which made the horn a fully chromatic instrument. The valve system also brought in instruments such as the euphonium, which the Adagio and Allegro is well suited to.

This work has been arranged and performed by other instruments, for violin and cello, for example and more recently has been regarded as a highly popular work for tuba.

This work really suits the euphonium perfectly. Enjoy it!

	Respectfully Yours - Andy Scott Euphonium and Piano
	£8.50 Reference:  SMAS34 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

New from Andy Scott and Astute Music an engaging, thought provoking and emminently playable piece ! 

Respectfully Yours was commissioned by Fabian Bloch, and is scored for euphonium and piano (and can be heard on his Drive CD, also available on this site.)

The world premiere was given by Fabian Bloch (euphonium) & François Killian (piano) on the 6th of September 2015, and recorded on the CD ‘Drive’. Andy Scott had the privilege of collaborating on a number of occasions with composer/pianist Richard Rodney Bennett, and composed Respectfully Yours in memory of RRB, who passed away in December 2012.

The composer writes;

“I was delighted when Fabian approached me to commission a new work, and it felt appropriate to write a piece that was melodic with jazz-influenced harmony that I think of as a simple ‘thank you’ to Richard Rodney Bennett, for being an inspirational musician and kind and generous person. I know that Fabian is a virtuosic and sophisticated musician, and felt that a new work with this underlying sentiment would be in very capable hands.

Here's another great new work from the pen of Manchester based composer and saxophonist, Andy Scott.

Fujiko initially explores the low register of the instrument before embarking on a journey upwards! A beautifully scored reflective and melancholy piece.

A number of euphonium players have performed 'Fujiko' over the past couple of years, adapting the music from the tenor saxophone and piano version. In this publication the composer, Andy Scott, has re-voiced the piano part specifically to balance with euphonium, and has created a definitive part for solo euphonium.

Its a gorgeous mood piece.

	Carmen Fantasy - euphonium duet parts - George Bizet Arr. Misa Mead
	£10.00 Reference:  SMBMCFD Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Here are the duet version of 'Carmen Fantasy', arranged by Misa Mead, that has been performed to huge critical acclaim by Misa and Steven Mead, to go with the versions with piano/brass band/wind orchestra/fanfare band accompaniment, in the versions made by the Belgian arranger Luc Vertommen.

Please note these are just the duet parts, in TC and BC.

To perform this version you will also need the accompaniments (to the original solo version):

with piano  with wind orchestra  with brass band  with fanfare band . These versions also include the original solo part.

Misa has successfully added a harmonic duet part which shares the original line and added a very fine second voice. Both parts are of equal standard (difficult!)

Here is a Youtube performance by Steve and Misa of this duet version (with piano)

	Steven Mead Euphonium Song Book Vol.2 - Arr.Luc Vertommen
	£25.00 Reference:  SMESB2 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Here is the brand new Euphonium Song Book Vol.2, a successor to the highly Vol.1 released 18 months before.

Here we have another superb collection of  beautiful melodies; some simple and folk inspired, some instrumental solos, some operative arias and within this collection are some incredible little-known gems !

It's with great pleasure that I introduce the second volume of the Euphonium Song Book.

I'm very grateful to my good friend Luc Vertommenfor for discovering so many fine works to be included in this book. He and I share the same passion for beautiful lyrical music. However, a quick look through this volume will also reveal some music of a very technical nature, and I think this is going to be a real challenge for many musicians, although of course at the heart of all technical playing should be a constant lyricism, and therein lies the challenge. As I suggested with the first book, I would urge all of you to seek out fantastic performances and recordings of the original setting of these pieces, as composers can never write down all the nuance that is now associated with these magnificent pieces. The challenge as always is to go beyond the notes, the black and white dots you see on the page. To really be successful with these you not only need some working knowledge of the original, but really try to find a true vocal quality to your performance. Not enough brass players sing, either in their head to learn the music, or out loud, to fully realise the musical thoughts they have. I was very lucky as a boy to have singing lessons for seven years, and this has never left me. You won't hear me singing in public, don't worry, but I 'sing' with my instrument every day.

Please enjoy these beautiful works, by some of the greatest composers who ever lived, and the mix of these works with some folk inspired compositions. Good luck and enjoy the music making.

The set includes the piano accompaniments to all pieces, and solo parts : TC (Bb), BC (in Bb), BC (in C)

	£25.50 Reference:  SMPM34 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Simone Mantia is one of the most important euphonium virtuosi in the history of the instrument. His contributions to the euphonium repertoire are significant. A composer and arranger, Mantia recognized the need to expand the euphonium repertoire and was active in bringing the euphonium from the back of the band to the front of the stage as a solo instrument.

This solo collection presents modern editions of some of the most well-known pieces in Mantia's repertoire. These editions are based on the materials found in the Simone Mantia Collection, a resource archived in 2009 by Gretchen Renshaw which contains many of Mantia's musical possessions. Through collaboration with Steven Mead, Renshaw has aimed to correct the errors in the original versions of these pieces and provide editorial suggestions that will aid in exciting performances of these works.

The titles included in this collection are: Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Young Charms, Valse Caprice "Priscilla", Rio Rita, The Southerner, Old Black Joe, Solvejg's Song and Fantasie Originale.

An important must-have album of sheet music for all dedicated serious players !!

Now you can play Simone Mantia's most beloved solos the way he would have seen them, thanks to the meticulous work of Gretchen Renshaw. 

After receiving a Summer Discovery Grant from Penn State University, Gretchen archived a collection of Mantia's personal music. She then worked with Steven Mead to publish The Simone Mantia Solo Collection, now available here.

Gretchen's work with these historic documents gives players around the world the unprecedented opportunity to perform Mantia's classic solos in their most authentic form. For more information visithttp://www.simonemantia.com/

	Gestures II for Solo Euphonium - Gregory Robin

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 Quantity: 123456789

 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 Suite is in four movements: Prelude & Fugue, Toccata, Waltz and Bossa Nova

The prelude starts with a flowing melody alternating with a rhythmic hunting motif, which is further developed in the Toccata.The theme of the Fugue contains many silences. The Waltz contains motifs which the composer later elaborated further in his violin concerto. The Bossa Nova brings a very cheerful and energetic finale.

 Parts supplied: TC in Bb and BC in C.

Difficult level 6/6 

About the composer:

Robert Groslot (°1951) began his career as a pianist. His piano studies at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp were followed by masterclasses with Leon Fleisher and Alexis Weissenberg. After winning laureate prizes in the piano competition Alessandro Casagrande (Terni 1974) and the Queen Elisabeth Competition (Brussels, 1978), he undertook concert trips through Europe, Israel, Asia, Africa, New Zealand and the United States. His repertoire consisted of more than 50 concertos for piano as well as many solo and chamber music. Robert Groslot made many studio, radio and television recordings, as well as about 100 CD's. 

Later on he started conducting: as conductor and director of the Philharmonic Youth Orchestra, he formed many young musicians from Belgium and abroad who are now professional musicians. He also appeared as a conductor with the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, the London Symphony Orchestra, the Ulster National Orchestra, the Belgian National Orchestra and the Flanders Philharmonic, among others, and is the founder-director of the orchestra II Novecento which he conducted in concerts troughout Euroupe.

At the same time he taught piano and chamber music at the Royal Conservatory of Antwerp until 2011 and has been also Artistic Director there from 1996 until 2001. 

Nowadays, Robert Groslot mainly works as a composer. Black Venus, The Great Globe, Si le monde… and The Wake are some of his most important works for symphonic orchestra. Recently he wrote a series of twelve concertos for solo instruments and orchestra. He chose a variety of solo instruments such as piano, violin, cello, the classical concerto instruments, but also viola, saxophone, harp, piccolo, flute, oboe, marimba, euphonium and guitar. These concertos are one by one very challenging and inspirational pieces for the performer. At the same time they are very enjoyable and understandable for the public, as a continuation of tradition, but not without a clear and very personal perspective to music as a whole.

Calabrese for Euphonium

Antonio Bazzini/arr. Geren

First published in 1859, Antonio Bazzini's Calabrese, Op. 34, No. 6 comes from a collection of six characteristic pieces written for violin. The euphonium version of the work was premiered by American virtuoso Dr. Benjamin Pierce and Tomoko Kashiwagi at the University of Arkansas in February 2013. The constant mixture of duple and triple rhythms provides the opportunity to display firm control over rhythmic accuracy. Additionally, the endurance, flexibility and technical prowess required will challenge the performer to sustain a light approach throughout.  -Patrick Geren (arranger)

This is a fabulous piece but only for the advanced player. It's similar to some of the other crazy encore-type piece Steve plays from time to time, including the Dance of the Goblins, by the same composer!  

Congrats to Patrick Geren for finding these fabulous works to arrange.

None But the Lonely Heart for Euphonium and Piano

P.I. Tchaikovsky/arr. Caldarise

"None But the Lonely Heart" was composed in 1869 as part of a set of Six Romances. Tchaikovsky used a text from a novel by Goethe to create this famous Romance. This piece has been set for nearly all instruments, so it was only natural to extend this gem to the realm of the euphonium. As is was originally a vocal work, a strong musical sound is required, as well as attention to phrasing and inflection, and a strong sense of musical expression.

	£15.25 - £14.00 Reference:  SMEB3F Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

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.

 We are delighted to be able to present an exciting work for euphonium and CD accompaniment by the leading young British composer Dr. Peter Meechan. Highly recommended!

 Peter has composed many successful pieces for euphonium over the last 10 years or so, and this concert/recital work is sure to be very popular with players and audiences alike. Steven Mead performed this work during his recent tour of Japan to much critical acclaim.

 Programme note from the composer:

 JET A ( the name given to jet fuel) was commissioned by the American euphoniumist Robert Benton who, at the time of writing the piece, had completed over 300 sky dives. The piece recreates taking off and landing, as well is the fear and excitement that someone must feel in the moments leading up to a skydive.

Robert Benton comments:

"Whilst sitting on an aeroplane waiting to take off from Chicago, I happened to look out of the window and see a fuel truck filling the tanks of the plane, and on the side of the truck were the words JET A  in big black letters. It occurred to me that it would be a great title for a high octane showpiece for euphonium and electronics".

 Duration:  5 mins

 Difficulty level: 4/6

JET A  can be heard on Robert Benton's new CD, Mirrors,  also available from this site.

	£18.95 - £15.95 Reference:  SMASKS-SL09 Stock:   Out of stock Quantity: 123456789

GAME "Suite for euphonium and accompaniment CD", is a brand-new composition for euphonium with CD backing, composed by the talented and creative euphonium  Japanese player/composer Misa Mead.. 

 She has a very great talent and one whose star in the music world is rising.

Misa studied at the Tokyo College of Music  and then spent some years studying in Paris with the finest low brass teachers. Her creative spirit was ignited there,  and Game is her first important composition, now available.

 She won a gold medal at the European Competition for Young Soloists.  At the recent International Euphonium Competition in Jeju  she was awarded 3rd place,  and was the highest placed Japanese performer.  She is much in demand in Japan now as a soloist and many of her creative projects are attracting international attention.

 This four movement suite, total playing time around 8 min,  gained its inspiration from a festival held at an amusement park. 

 Although the solo part has one or 2 difficult moments it is a very accessible work and  I would recommend this work for solo recitals by high school and university students. 

Supplied with CD, full score and treble and bass clef solo parts.

	Let There Be Peace - Euph and Piano - Andy Scott
	£9.15 Reference:  SMPAS07 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Here is wonderful new lyrical work from the pen of Andy Scott.

On 28th February 2012 a Landmark Poem from Lemn Sissay was unveiled in The Atrium, University Place, Manchester. ‘Let There Be Peace' is a call for calm, or as Lemn says ‘a press release for peace'.

In 1998 Lemn & Andy collaborated to create the work ‘My Mountain Top', which is performed worldwide & has been recorded to date on nine CDs. Andy's piece ‘And Everything Is Still', initially scored for flute & piano, took its title from one of Lemn's poems from ‘The Emperor's Watchmaker'.

Andy writes; "I find Lemn's words inspiring, and in some cases the right vehicle for me to try and capture the spirit of his words via music. The writing of this piece coincided with the launch of ‘Let There Be Peace' in Manchester, it all fitted well conceptually as I was writing this piece for the Manchester based euphonium player Aaron Rivkin. Aaron had won the Open Class in the inaugural Foden's Band Solo Competition. In my role as Composer in Residence I was to compose a short piece for the competition winner as part of the prize."

The music mirrors the form of the poem, three main sections, with euphonium cadenzas linking these sections. An overall yearning for tranquility is tested in the cadenzas, with an insistency and potential conflict, however calm prevails. World Premiere given by Aaron Rivkin & Iva Navratova at the International Tuba & Euphonium Conference 2012 (Artistic Director Steven Mead), Brucknerhaus, Linz, Austria on 25th June 2012.

	My Mountain Top - Solo Euph and CD - Andy Scott
	£18.00 Reference:  SMCDAS01 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

'My Mountain Top' (euphonium version) is one of Andy's most performed and recorded works. Commissioned by the ISCM World Music Days & originally written for the Apollo Saxophone Quartet, with words and narration by Lemn Sissay, My Mountain Top has subsequently been arranged by the composer for a number of solo instruments including saxophone, tuba, alto flute, & tenor horn.

This arrangement scored for solo euphonium has been championed by many players, especially David Thornton (recorded on 'Devil's Duel' DOY CD229) & Glyn Williams (on the award winning CDs 'The Lure of the Red Jacket' DOY CD287, and 'A World Within' DOY CD276).

Steven Mead has performed it on recitals in recent months and almost this music has a profound effect of the listeners.

Other notable brass recordings include Les Neish (multi-award winning CD 'Salt of the Earth' SFZ 150) and Scherzo Brass Quartet ('Scherzo' MHP1309).

'My Mountain Top' commences with a crackle on the accompanying CD, representing lying under the gaze of the sun and feeling the heat on your skin. The rhythmically free opening euphonium statements represent a mind that is active with thoughts but which gradually floats into a semi-conscious state. At this point the warm keyboard pads emerge and the stage is set for Lemn's magical words. The solo euphonium part weaves its way around the voice, gesturing and supporting, but never overpowering.

	Going Down - Tuba and Sampled Tuba CD - Andy Scott
	£14.50 Reference:  SMTUAS01 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

'Going Down' was commissioned by the Royal Northern College of Music, Manchester, UK (Wind & Percussion Department) for international tuba virtuoso Jim Gourlay. Premiered by Jim Gourlay at the 'RNCM International Tuba and Euphonium Festival' on Saturday 15th November 2003.

Scored for Solo Tuba and accompanying CD, all the sounds on the CD originated from the tuba. 'Going Down' divides into three sections ; the four phrases of the introduction are accompanied by 'breathing noises' on the CD before the second section is introduced by 'key clicks' and various other tuba-generated percussive effects. Within the second section are three sub-sections ; an angular jazz-influenced melody that harmonically expands with the introduction of tubas on the CD, a quieter second section that uses two and three-part harmony alongside effects such as slap tonguing and manipulated inhaling sounds on the CD, before building to the third sub-section where the influence of latin and jazz-funk rhythm and harmony is more to the fore. A solo cadenza links the second and third main sections. The third and final section is reflective and calm. Up to this point I generally avoided writing in the lowest octave of the tuba, now is the time to 'go down'. The CD comprises a wash of sampled tuba sounds, the Solo Tuba part has a series of notes that gradually descend to a low C, played with a rhythmic freedom that allows the implied harmonies to be different with each performance.

	Move Their Mind - Euph and Brass Band - Stan Nieuwenhuis
	£45.00 Reference:  SMBBP013 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Here is a brand-new solo that is set to become a great target for all ambitious and advanced euphonium players.

Stan Nieuwenhuis' Move There Mind was commissioned by Glenn Van Looy. For his first solo album he was looking for new interesting euphonium solos written by young composers, to expand the existing repertoire. Move There Mind became the title track of Glenn's first CD, that he recorded with the Gunnedah Shire Band in Australia in 2011.

Move There Mind symbolises the quest for a new sound and style for the euphonium. It's a challenging piece that consists of 3 parts. A furious opening pushes the soloist to the limit of range and speed. The dramatic introduction mellows into the slow melancholic 2nd movement. Despite the calmness there is unease to be heard through grace notes and fast runs. As earlier movements move from one to another without a break with the theme of the final movement gradually introduced through wide intervals, and multi-phonics in the lower range at high speed. We hear the theme disguised in various forms before leading to a dramatic climax. This is followed by a return of the theme before the music rushes to a chaotic finale.

This solo is available with brass band accompaniment (here), and also with piano accompaniment (to be found elsewhere on this site).

Solo parts are supplied in: treble clef Bb, bass clef in C, bass clef in Bb

	£9.95 - £6.95 Reference:  SMUMR01 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

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!!

	Origins (Euphonium Concerto) - Pete Meechan - euphonium and piano - New in store
	£19.50 Reference:  SMPPM10 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

The composer Pete Meechan writes of his concerto 'Origins':

'Origins is in three movements, with each movement having a different subject matter, all linked by the idea of origins: the first movement refers to musical origins; the second to the origins of life; and the final movement to the space exploration - the research of all origins.

The first movement is based on a short motif, heard in the first three notes the soloist plays. These three notes cover the interval of a minor third (an interval that often plays a crucial role in my music) on which the whole concerto is built. The soloist and accompaniment interplay freely throughout the opening section, before an ostinato accompaniment appears in the woodwinds - over which the soloist sounds a long legato melody. A short cadenza follows and a return to the opening material leads the movement to an end.

The second movement, titled Harry's Song, is - as tradition dictates - a slow movement. Happy and reflective in nature, the main melody was written on the evening that my closest friend, Mark Bousie (a fine euphoniumist himself), and his wife Jayne, had their first child - Harry Bousie. It seemed only fitting that this song should be written for Harry in celebration.

The final movement brings me back to a lifelong fascination with space, and in this particular movement, the Space Shuttle Discovery. Having completed 39 missions (including flying the Hubble telescope in to orbit), and spent a total of 365 days in space, SS Discovery made its final voyage in 2011 and was taken to the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. in April 2012. This final movement, titled Discovery, pays tribute to the great shuttle whose missions inspired millions across the generations.

Origins was commissioned by Marco Schneider, Adrian Schneider and the Dunshan Wind Orchestra, Beijing, China".

The Allegro Appassionato opus 43 for cello and orchestra was the first work that Camille Saint-Saëns wrote after marrying Marie Laurie Emilie Truffot on February 3th, 1875. Saint-Saëns claimed to compose music as naturally as ‘an apple tree produces apples' The Allegro Appassionato was composed around the same period as his more famous Fourth Piano Concerto, the Danse Macabre and the String Quartet. The piece remains very popular amongst cellists these days mainly because of its ‘showy character' with a lot of rising semi-quavers in the first theme. Although the piece breathes the romantic atmosphere it is fast moving and virtuoso. This delectable miniature creates the impression that it could go on forever, and it seems to have a real dynamo of energy in its relatively short time span.

Top quality arrangements available in different versions for soloist and brass band, symphonic wind band or piano accompaniment.

Tchaikovsky's ‘Andante Cantabile' is one of the most famous and inspiring romantic movements. Is was either the singing of a workman or baker - there are two versions of the story - that introduced Tchaikovsky to the folk melody that he immortalized in his slow movement of his String Quartet nr 1, opus 11, composed in 1871. Clearly he was not put off by the tune's unromantic words, ‘Vanya sat on the divan and smoked a pipe of tobacco'. An immediate hit, the movement was quickly extracted from the quartet and published in numerous arrangements through which it became one of Tchaikovsky's most famous short works. It didn't only inspire Johan De Meij for a fantastic and extreme make-over (see recent brass band test-piece!) , Tchaikovsky himself made an arrangement for cello and string orchestra sometime between 1886 and 1888 for cellist Wilhelm Fitzenhagen (1848-1890) who premiered the Rococo Variations in 1877.

Tchaikovsky's ‘Andante Cantabile' is one of the most famous and inspiring romantic movements.

A number of classical composers have used themes from Carmen as the basis for works of their own. This Carmen Fantasy is a virtuoso showpiece in the tradition of fantasias on operatic themes. Like in the opera, the soloist must not only have a great range, but also exhibit superior dramatic skills in order to portray Carmen's character. Almost every technical challenge for the Brass soloist is contained here or what is more the soloist must fully understand beautiful song like aspect and stylistic demands of this music.

Additional Info

Jules Demersseman (1833-1866) was in his time a remarkable flautist and noted composer. Today this little known composer is only 'famous' with flute and saxophone players and his name is not mentioned in most reference books. Demersseman wrote many works for trombone with six independent valves, which is a modern-cousin to the euphonium. Through the work of editors, Luc Vertommen and Gery Dumoulin, the entire catalog is now available in two volume editions. These are spectacular editions for study and practice. Very well done, indeed!

	£103.92 - £98.95 Reference:  SMBBBP05 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

The Euphonium Virtuoso Collection is a new series of euphonium solos arranged by Luc Vertommen especially for Steven Mead and offers exciting study and performance opportunities for every aspiring soloist.

Top quality arrangements available in different versions for soloist and brass band, symphonic wind band or piano accompaniment.

Giuseppe Antonio Capuzzi (1755-1818) studied violin with Nazari, a pupil of Tartini and composition with Bertoni. He was active in Venice as a performer in theatres and in St.Mark's. In 1796 he visited London and in 1805 he settles in Bergamo where he was active as violinist and professor of violin at the Istituto Musicale. He was highly regarded both as teacher and performer and was equally proficient as a composer.

The autograph manuscript of his ‘Concerto per il Violone' has been found in the British Museum and transcribed for double bass in 1969 by Rodney Slatford. Already in 1967 the late Philip Catelinet transcribed the ‘Andante and Rondo' for lower brass instruments which became a popular exam piece for lower brass instruments.
The term ‘violone' is known as early as 1520 and means in modern terminology the double bass viol, the direct ancestor of the double bass. Historically the term has embraced a variety of meanings and even in some Italian sources, the cello. This could perhaps explain why this hidden gem works as well for euphonium as for all lower brass instruments. Those euphonium players familiar with the Catelinet version will discover a virtuoso opening ‘allegro' movement and some interesting changes in technique and articulation in the well known ‘andante and allegro' parts.

Episodes and Echoes is a concerto in three movements for tuba. The title of the work relates directly to the way the composer approached writing the piece.

"Although the work is scored with piano and wind band accompaniments, Episodes and Echoes was originally written for tuba and brass band. I had several problems to overcome - the brass band contains 4 tubas, and 2 euphoniums, all of which could obscure the solo line, so I decided to write for the soloist in a manner that meant they were either playing alone, in episodes, or repeating/echoing phrases."

In addition to this, the composer combined the characteristics of the tuba with other instruments: in the second movement the tuba is similar to a singer performing an aria and a recitative, and third movement a bass guitar.

Episodes and Echoes was commissioned by, and dedicated to, Les Neish who premiered the work in 2005, accompanied by the Beaumaris Brass Band, conducted by Gwyn Evans.

The concerto has received many performances throughout the UK, as well as the rest of Europe. All sets of music come complete with the solo part in both bass clef concert and Eb treble clef parts.

Also available with piano and wind band!

	Euphonium Concerto No.2 - Philip Sparke
	£15.80 - £14.95 Reference:  SMPAM03 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

The original concept for this work was a suite of short movements, each with its own character, but by the time the first movement was complete it was clear that a conventional three-movement format was going to work out better. The opening movement contains much syncopation and is almost rag-like in style. The slower second movement explores the unsurpassable ability of the euphonium to play lyrically, with a theme that is later taken up by the band whilst the soloist weaves a filigree descant. This leads straight into the third movement, which is almost bebop in style and shows off the jazzier capabilities of the euphonium. The concerto was composed for the virtuoso soloist, Steven Mead. This version for euphonium and piano is sure to become a concert classic.

	Fields of Destruction - Pete Meechan - Euphonium and Wind Orchestra
	£92.00 - £85.00 Reference:  SMWBPMM06 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Fields of Destruction is a collection of three songs for euphonium and wind ensemble. These aren't songs in the classical music sense, nor are they representative of "pop" songs or those from a musical. The three songs take more from the folk tradition of story telling and protest songs, transparent in nature, plain in delivery, and also heartfelt.

The subject matter is war, and more specifically, the wars which we (The UK and the US) are involved in.

Whilst the piece was in its gestation period, it occurred to me that there was a really strange irony. Flanders Fields are covered in poppies, now a symbol of remembrance, and of peace, yet the huge plantations of the same flower in Afghanistan fund the terrorist attacks on out nations, as well as fund the organisations that plan such attacks, and fight wars with our troops in Afghanistan.

All sets of music come complete with the solo part in both bass clef concert and Bb treble clef parts.

	£67.00 - £59.50 Reference:  SMBBBP10 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

The Euphonium Virtuoso Collection is a new series of euphonium solos arranged by Luc Vertommen especially for Steven Mead and offers exciting study and performance opportunities for every aspiring soloist.

Top quality arrangements available in different versions for soloist and brass band, symphonic wind band or piano accompaniment.

Grand Air de Zaïr is an eight minute recitative and aria from Saverio Mercadente's opera ‘Zaïra'. In the 18th century when Italian opera dominated Europe we find the 30 year old Mercadente leaving Italy in 1826 to try his fortunes in Spain and Portugal. He composed seven operas there before returning to Italy in 1831. In 1830 he composed a new work for Naples, the opera Zaïra based on one of Voltaire's finest tragedies. The theme is the conflicting claims of religion and love, for Zaïra is torn between the allegiance she owes to the Christian faith in which she was born and the love she feels for Sultan Orosmane.

All the bel canto, lyrical phrases and cadenzas are present in this Italian virtuoso show piece in a style that could be compared as a mix between Rossini's ‘Una voce poco fa' and ‘Largo al Factotum'.

Reinhold Glière (1875-1956) was a direct heir to the Russian romantic tradition. The most important element in his style is expressive melody and this is best typified in his Opus 35, written in 1908. It is a collection of eleven short pieces for various instruments and piano revealing his love for a good melody. The Humoresque, opus 35 nr. 8 and the Impromptu, opus 35 nr. 9 are both dedicated to bassoonist Ivan Romanovich Porubinovski. The Humoresque has an almost old English feel about it, quite stately and character in fact, and should not be rushed.

The Euphonium Virtuoso Collection is a new series of euphonium solos arranged by Luc Vertommen especially for Steven Mead and offers exciting study and performance opportunities for every aspiring soloist.
Top quality arrangements available in different versions for soloist and brass band, symphonic wind band or piano accompaniment.

Camille Saint-Saëns' Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso, opus 28 is his first work for violin written in 1863. Since its premiere it has continued to be one of Saint-Saëns most popular compositions and has been performed by notable virtuosi including Jascha Heifetz, Isaac Stern and Maxim Vengerov.

In the 1850s, Saint-Saëns became acquainted with a fellow musical prodigy, the Spanish violinist Pablo Sarasate (1844-1908). Sarasate was 19 when Saint-Saëns wrote the Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso for him in 1863, and the technical challenges of the work attest to the violinist's prowess. Saint-Saëns did not publish the piece until 1870, but Sarasate frequently programmed it in his concert engagements throughout Europe and the United States. The slow introduction, marked Andante malinconico (melancholy), becomes gradually more animated and ends in a mini-cadenza that opens the rondo, Allegro ma non troppo. The syncopated theme stated by the violin has a distinct Spanish flavour with some idiomatic Spanish rhythms and featuring huge leaps and brilliant arpeggios. The orchestra opens the bridge to a contrasting lyrical theme, con morbidezza (with tenderness), played in 2/4 by the soloist over the 6/8 time of the accompaniment. Even the rondo theme reappears in a more introspective mood, before the orchestra bursts once more into the bridge passage. After the final statement of the rondo the violin moves from a short cadenza of triple-stopping to a brilliant coda, undoubtedly written as a showcase for Sarasate's virtuosity. This work was popular enough that both Georges Bizet and Claude Debussy made arrangements of it. This version for euphonium is undoubtedly affected by the playing of Sergei Nakariakov of this classical showpiece. At first glance the violin part seems impossible for a few valves. The adjustments make some valuable hours of study for both technique and musicianship and in the end this version sounds as if originally conceived for the euphonium.

	Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso (WB) - Saint-Saëns/arr. Vertommen
	£104.00 - £98.95 Reference:  SMWBBP06 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

The Euphonium Virtuoso Collection is a new series of euphonium solos arranged by Luc Vertommen especially for Steven Mead and offers exciting study and performance opportunities for every aspiring soloist.

Top quality arrangements available in different versions for soloist and brass band, symphonic wind band or piano accompaniment.

Camille Saint-Saëns' Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso, opus 28 is his first work for violin written in 1863. Since its premiere it has continued to be one of Saint-Saëns most popular compositions and has been performed by notable virtuosi including Jascha Heifetz, Isaac Stern and Maxim Vengerov.

In the 1850s, Saint-Saëns became acquainted with a fellow musical prodigy, the Spanish violinist Pablo Sarasate (1844-1908). Sarasate was 19 when Saint-Saëns wrote the Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso for him in 1863, and the technical challenges of the work attest to the violinist's prowess. Saint-Saëns did not publish the piece until 1870, but Sarasate frequently programmed it in his concert engagements throughout Europe and the United States. The slow introduction, marked Andante malinconico (melancholy), becomes gradually more animated and ends in a mini-cadenza that opens the rondo, Allegro ma non troppo. The syncopated theme stated by the violin has a distinct Spanish flavour with some idiomatic Spanish rhythms and featuring huge leaps and brilliant arpeggios. The orchestra opens the bridge to a contrasting lyrical theme, con morbidezza (with tenderness), played in 2/4 by the soloist over the 6/8 time of the accompaniment. Even the rondo theme reappears in a more introspective mood, before the orchestra bursts once more into the bridge passage. After the final statement of the rondo the violin moves from a short cadenza of triple-stopping to a brilliant coda, undoubtedly written as a showcase for Sarasate's virtuosity. This work was popular enough that both Georges Bizet and Claude Debussy made arrangements of it. This version for euphonium is undoubtedly affected by the playing of Sergei Nakariakov of this classical showpiece. At first glance the violin part seems impossible for a few valves. The adjustments make some valuable hours of study for both technique and musicianship and in the end this version sounds as if originally conceived for the euphonium.

The Last Sleep of the Virgin (Le dernier sommeil de la Vierge) was the only piece to survive in Jules Massenet’s lifetime from an oratorio in four scenes based on episodes from the life of The Virgin Mary from the Annunciation to her death. It was first performed at the Paris opera in 1880. La Vierge enjoyed modest popularity in its day but the atmospheric ‘Dernier Sommeil’, the prelude to the final section was encored and soon found its way into popular orchestral programmes. It became one of Thomas Beecham’s favourite ‘lollipops’ and could become the euphonium’s answer to Massenet’s massive violin hit ‘Meditation’ from ‘Thaïs’.

	Six Studies in English Folksong (BB) - Vaughan Williams/arr. Vertomme
	£68.00 - £61.95 Reference:  SMBBBP07 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

The Euphonium Virtuoso Collection is a new series of euphonium solos arranged by Luc Vertommen especially for Steven Mead and offers exciting study and performance opportunities for every aspiring soloist.

Top quality arrangements available in different versions for soloist and brass band, symphonic wind band or piano accompaniment.

By the time Ralph Vaughan Williams had created his Six Studies in English Folk-Song in 1926 he had been travelling around the country collecting English folk songs for a quarter of a century. Along with Cecil Sharp, he preserved for posterity many examples of this great English musical tradition. These small studies are jewels and were originally written for the cellist May Mukle, who gave first performance at the Scala Theatre in London on 4 June 1926. The touching lyricism of these short and beautiful studies, so fresh and loving, are perhaps an off-shoot of his preoccupation with some of the best folk songs in his opera Sir John in Love (1929). These slight but attractive pieces are not literal transcriptions of folk-melodies, but are based on well-known tunes, freely treated and ornamented, whose identity can be easily traced. The first study is a setting of the Norfolk tune Lovely on the Water , in which the tune emerges naturally from the accompaniment , well suited to the lyrical qualities of the euphonium. Spurn Point is a fine tribute to this unique place with sand and shingle banks in the Britsh Islands on the Yorkshire coast. Van Dieman's Land is another fine slow melody and the original name used by Europeans for the island of Tasmania, now part of Australia. The Lady and the Dragoon is another tune in a slow tempo. In the fourth study 'She borrowed some of her mother's gold', the arpeggio accompaniment rocks gently back and forth, occasionally acting as a kind of descant for the euphonium. The last of the set, As I walked over London bridge ('Geordie') is a 'rum-ti-tum' affair with its air of innocent jollity, its varied accompanying texture, and its surprising ending, is so terse that one regrets the composer did not treat the tune more expansively. But then perhaps the succinct wit of the setting would have been lost.

	Valse-Scherzo, Op. 34 (BB) - Tchaikovsky/arr. Luc Vertommen
	£68.00 - £61.95 Reference:  SMBBBP17 Stock:   In stock Quantity: 123456789

Tchaikovsky's Valse-Scherzo, a sprightly violin showpiece, was written to fulfil a promise made to Iosif Kotek. Exact information on the work on the Valse-Scherzo does not survive. It is only from letters from Iosif Kotek to Tchaikovsky that an approximate date for the piece might be established as early 1877. Later that same year Tchaikovsky wrote his Fourth Symphony, and the opera Eugen Onegin, and it is thought by this time the Valse had already been completed. The Valse-scherzo was performed for the first time on 21 September 1878 in the Trocadero Hall , Paris at the third ‘Russian Concert In Paris', by the violinist S. Barcewicz, It is possible that the waltz was partly or wholly orchestrated by Kotek after Tchaikovsky completed the version for violin with piano. This of course makes it a supreme challenge for a brass player especially the ‘moto perpetuo' section near the end. The challenge for the brass player is to capture beauty and elegance of the waltz despite the technical difficulties.

In 2004 Roger Derongé wrote his Walking on Music for the 10th edition of the Church Concert of his own brass band ‘Bravoer’. To mark this occasion they choose a soloist that had some affinity with the history of the band. Belgian euphonium player Stef Pillaert had as a young boy been a member of the ‘Bravoer’ music camps and had been soloist with the band on a few occasions. Roger Derongé choose to showcase the lyrical side of the instrument and the accompaniment is very austere. In the brass band version the cornet players can even spend some time at the bar. The title explains the way every euphonium virtuoso would like to play this little gem, as easy as ‘walking on music…’ It is a work demanding quite a sustained lyrical approach from euphonium soloist but well worth the effort. Audiences will love this.
