Euphonium and Piano - advanced

SKU: CY.CC2727

Composed by Vincent d'Indy. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. French Impressionist. Solo part and piano accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2727).

Paul Marie Theodore Vincent d'Indy was born in Paris into an aristocratic family of royalist and Catholic persuasion. He had piano lessons from an early age from his paternal grandmother, who passed him on to Antoine François Marmontel and Louis Diemer. His main influence was Cesar Franck. These three pieces were some of his many works for Piano. Opus 33 was inspired by a trip to Bayreuth, the musical home of Wagner and the Black Forest region. Opus 33 no. 1 from 1889 is titled ? with no explanation of itself. Opus 33 no. 10 is titled Lermoos, which is a delightful skiing village in Austria right on the border with Germany. Germany's largest mountain is in perfect view, possibly giving the movement its spirit.
Opus 28 is a Serenade for Violin and Piano published in 1900. It is lithe, subtle and lyrical.

SKU: CY.CC2860

Composed by Gabriel Faure. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. Impressionist French. Solo part and Piano accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2860).

* Faure's two beautifully sounding pieces, Sicilienne Op. 78 and Berceuse Op. 16, have been transcribed for Euphonium and Piano by Ralph Sauer.
* Both are originally written for Violin or Cello, but easily transfer their charm to the Euphonium.
* Parts are supplied in bass and treble clef and can be performed by intermediate level players.
* Either piece will make a perfect addition to any recital.

Euphonium and piano accompaniment - moderately advanced

SKU: CY.CC2892

Composed by Germaine Tailleferre. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. French 20th century. Solo part and Piano accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2892).

Ralph Sauer has arranged two lovely and contrasting short works by Germaine Tailleferre for Euphonium and Piano. Tailleferre was the only female composer of the famous French Les Six.

1. Berceuse, originally for Violin and Piano lilts and floats in a calm and lyrical stream of dreamy phrases.

2. Pastorale originally for solo Piano is a playful movement in mixed meter alternating between legato and articulated phrases.

Together they are total about 5 minutes in length and are appropriate for advanced performers.

Trombone or euphonium and piano - moderately advanced

SKU: CY.CC2879

Composed by Gardell Simons. Arranged by Gregory Cox. Early 20th Century. Solo part and Piano accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2879).

The Trombone/Euphonium solos of Gardell Simons have been sadly forgotten over the years. Atlantic Zephyrs is the only one known to most. Gregory Cox has compiled five of them in a new collection:
Atlantic Zephyrs
The Gondolier
Polka Caprice
The Volunteer
The Weldon Polka
The solos are about 5 minutes in length each and are appropriate for Intermediate level and above (range goes up to high C). They are light and delightful, harking back to the turn-of-the last century in style.
Cherry Classics is pleased to have brought them back to life, set in their original format in the Vintage Brass Collection.

Euphonium and Piano - virtuoso

SKU: CY.CC2769

Composed by Russell Scarbrough. Comtemporary. Solo part and Piano accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2769).

As the title suggests the work dying and dancing for Euphonium solo and Piano accompaniment is in two parts, which are played without a pause between the two.

The first part, an adagio, is not necessarily meant to be evocative of the actual act of passing away, but more perhaps of the contemplation and reflection upon one's life as that time approaches, and particularly of sorrow over regret and disappointment. The unsettled mood of the music reflects this bitterness, and stands in contrast to the expansive peace of the grave, heard at the beginning and end of the adagio.

Dance, with ironic wit, the second part, is the other side of the same coin; perhaps humor of the gallows describes its spirit. At once fatalist and mocking, it brings to mind the words of the ancient teacher Koheleth, The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.

I was pleased to compose dying and dancing in 2013 for Mark Kellogg, a superb Euphonium artist and my former trombone iProfessor at the Eastman School of Music.

Euphonium & Piano - advanced

SKU: CY.CC2457

Composed by Arnold Bax. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. Romantic/Impressionist. Solo part & score. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2457).

Sir Arnold Bax composed in a style that blended Romantic, Impressionist and Celtic flavors together in a brilliant way. Mr. Sauer has taken these two works originally for Piano and brilliantly transcribed them for Euphonium & Piano. The Country Tune begins with a beautiful melody which turns into a jaunty dance. The Burlesque is also dance-like, but mixes 3/4 and 4/4 time in a most inovative way. These works are light, airy & very pleasant to perform and listen to.

Euphonium & Piano - moderately advanced

SKU: CY.CC2477

Composed by S. Prokofiev. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. 20th Century Russian. Solo part & accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2477).

* Also known as Four Grandmother Songs and Old Granny Tales, this work was composed in New York in 1918 at the beginning of the composer's self-imposed exile from Russia after its Revolution. * These short pieces were immediately successful and were performed worldwide. * In the epigraph to this work Prokofiev wrote, Some recollections had become half erased from her memory; others will never be erased. * Mr. Sauer once again, has produced a magnificent work for Euphonium & Piano. * This work with its great character is a joy to perform, about 8 - 9 minutes in length for moderately advanced performers. .

Composed by Franz Liszt (1811-1886). Arranged by Ralph Sauer. Romantic. Solo part and Piano accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2870).
