With its simple, memorable melody and folk-song style, You Are My Sunshine is undoubtedly one of America’s most successful love songs of the 20th century. Its success in the 1940s massively boosted the popularity of the song’s original performers, Jimmie Davis and Charles Mitchell, so much so that it helped to springboard Davis’ political career, culminating in his successful election as Governor of Louisiana in 1944. This arrangement for a quartet line-up is very playable and was arranged by Mike Sheppard. This piece effectively guarantees success at your next concert.

Met zijn eenvoudige, herkenbare melodie in folksongstijl is You Are My Sunshine zonder twijfel een van Amerika’s succesvolste liefdesliedjes uit de 20e eeuw. Het succes van de song in de jaren 1940 was een enorme boost voor de populariteit van de oorspronkelijke performers, Jimmie Davis en Charles Mitchell, zodanig dat Davis’ politieke carrière een zetje kreeg, met als resultaat zijn verkiezing tot gouverneur van Louisiana in 1944. Deze versie voor kwartet, gearrangeerd door Mike Sheppard, is uitstekend speelbaar en zal gegarandeerd bij het publiek in de smaak vallen.

Mit seiner einfachen, einprägsamen Melodie und seinem volksliedhaften Stil ist You Are My Sunshine zweifellos eines der erfolgreichsten amerikanischen Liebeslieder des 20. Jahrhunderts. Sein Erfolg in den 1940er-Jahren steigerte enorm die Popularität der ursprünglichen Interpreten des Songs, Jimmie Davis und Charles Mitchell, was sogar Davis politische Karriere ankurbelte und schließlich zu seiner erfolgreichen Wahl zum Gouverneur von Louisiana im Jahr 1944 führte. Dieses Arrangement von Mike Sheppard für eine Quartettbesetzung ist sehr gut spielbar und garantiert ein Erfolg bei Ihrem nächsten Konzert.

Écrite dans un style traditionnel et dotée d’une mélodie accrocheuse, You Are My Sunshine est certainement l’une des chansons d’amour américaines les plus populaires du XXe siècle. Dans les années 1940, sa popularité stimula énormément la réputation de ses interprètes d’origine, Jimmie Davis et Charles Mitchell au point où elle servit de tremplin la carrière politique de Davis, qui fut élu, en 1944, au poste de gouverneur de la Louisiane. Arrangée par Mike Sheppard, cette version pour quatuor est très accessible et obtiendra un beau succès lors de votre prochain concert.

Brass quintet

SKU: P2.60009

Composed by Stephen Oberheu. Chamber music, 20th century. Published by Potenza Music (P2.60009).

Lauranod Trilogy is a collection of tunes written for various ensembles while I was living in Lausanne Switzerland. The name Lauranod is actually a permutation of the name Lausanne in that it is the word that my cell phone would always try to autospell for me while text messaging. PCO Fanfare was originally written for a mixed low brass ensemble and premiered in the foyer of the conservatory building. Originally conceived as kind of a joke of sorts, the opening fanfare figure contains a mini-quote from the traditional Irish song The Rattlin' Bog. The piece quickly assumed a life of its own and wandered in its own direction. Chorale & Fugue began its life as a simple exercise in writing a four-part fugue. The beginning chorale section was added later. After its first inception as a four-part piece, it was expanded to a brass octet and then reduced to the brass quintet version here. Rue du Midi was originally written for Ensemble STUBA (Swiss Tuba Und Baritone Association) in 2001 and received its premiere in Ermatingen, Switzerland. A raucous piece with lots of energy, it is named after the street next to the conservatory where a few favorite hangouts were located.

Brass quintet - advanced

SKU: CY.CC2845

Composed by Herbert L. Clarke. Arranged by Geoffrey Bergler. American early 20th Century. Score and parts. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2845).

Cornet solos are an important part of the American Brass tradition. The Southern Cross is one of Clarke's most well known Cornet solos and was written in 1911, dedicated to the Australians and first recorded by the composer with Orchestra the next year for Victor Records.
During 1911, Clarke was the solo Cornetist of the Sousa Band while the band was on a world tour that included visits to South Africa, Tazmania and Australia from March through to August.
Below is a photo of the Sousa band from their 1911 tour. Clarke is sitting in the front row 5th in from the right with his moustache and his Cornet on his lap. He assuredly composed this solo to perform on that tour. The Southern Cross is a constellation that is only seen from the southern hemisphere and features the five stars of the Cross from the 1901 design of the Australian flag.

This 5-minute virtuosic arrangement by Geoffrey Bergler features not only the Cornet, but a bit of all the other four members of the Brass Quintet.
Instrumentation is for:
2 Trumpets in B-flat (Trumpet 1 solo, Trumpet 2 also plays Piccolo)
Horn,
Trombone
Tuba/Bass Trombone
The sound track below features Mr. Bergler from his student days as Cornet soloist
