Par LAMBERT RICHARD. 3 movement sonata in a modern style The Sonata for euphonium and piano was written in 2013, an idiomatic transcription of the Sonata for bassoon and piano (Op.36) Lasting about 13 minutes, it has three movements: Allegro Moderato - Larghetto - Allegretto con spirito. The first movement is free-ranging tonally, continually developing the initial thematic material - a neo-Baroque motif with prominent use of a minor seventh interval. The time signature is continually changing, predominantly between 2/4 and 3/8, to give a highly-charged rhythmic, and perhaps unsettled, effect. The central movement is expressive, melancholy and desolate. The rhythm is more regular here - largely a steady 6/8 flow, butharmonically, the highly chromatic style is almost atonal to enhance this forlorn atmosphere. The movement explores the entire range of the euphonium and the piano accompaniment converses contrapuntally, sharing the numerous motifs with the euphonium. It concludes plaintively with reiterations of the euphonium's initial four notes. The finale reverts to a more relaxed, and uplifting, mood. The euphonium's initial scalic motif also has a neo-Baroque flavour. This originates from a solitary piano figure (bar 202) in the first movement. In fact, these outer movements have numerous melodic and harmonic links to consolidate a sense of overall organic shape. Ultimately, the whole movement derives from its first few bars, and constantly develops this material. / Niveau : Avancé / Répertoire / Euphonium et Piano

for Euphonium TC/BC. Par SAMITZ NICO. This set also includes a Bb Euphonium TC solo part. Nico Samitz has been composing for chamber ensembles since his school days. For over ten years he has been writing works in a wide variety of genres for the „BlechReiz BrassQuintett“ ensemble, in which he himself plays trumpet and piano. His field of expertise ranges from classical pieces to jazz and meditative music—and even to pop-oriented compositions. While honing his skills in ear-training and composition at the Mozarteum, Salzburg, Nico became acquainted with a wide repertoire of works as a trumpet player with the Munich Symphony Orchestra, The Munich Philharmonic Orchestra, and the Bavarian State Opera, all of which have influenced his writing style. The driving force behind his creative work is a winning combination of passion, the fun of music-making and a desire to express, through the medium of music, feelings that are difficult to put into words. Like many of his works, Nico composed The Joy of Freedom for the „BlechReiz BrassQuintet“. The catchy tune is reworked in a variety of styles throughout the entire work, giving it the quality of a true ‘earworm’. / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Euphonium et Piano

Victor Caussinus wrote two versions of Air varié, a concertante piece for ophicleide and orchestra: one for an instrument in C and symphonic orchestra, the other one for an instrument in B b and concert band. The piece belongs to the theme and variation genre. After an andante Introduction in minor, the theme is stated and followed by three variations and a Polacca. After a brief return of the Andante, the piece ends with a virtuoso Finale.The arrangement for euphonium or saxhorn and piano is adapted from the original manuscript of the concert band version, the instrumentation of which calls for: '1 piccolo in D b, 1 soprano clarinet in E b, 4 clarinets in B b (including one solo), 2 bassoons, 2 cornets in A b, 2 horns in E b, 2 horns in B b, 2 trumpets in E b, 3 trombones, 1 ophicleide in B b?. / Tuba Et Piano

for Steven Mead. Par SPARKE PHILIP. Le concept original pour ce travail était une suite de mouvements courts, chacun avec son propre caractère, mais au moment où que le premier mouvement était complète, il était clair qu'un format de trois mouvements classique allait travailler hors mieux. Le mouvement d'ouverture contient beaucoup syncope et est presque rag-comme dans le style. Le second mouvement plus lent explore la capacité insurpassable de l'euphonium à jouer Lyriquement, avec un thème qui est repris plus tard par la bande tandis que le soliste tisse un descant de filigrane. Cela nous amène directement dans le troisième mouvement, qui est presque bebop dans le style et montre les fonctionnalités avec de l'euphonium. Le concerto a été composé pour le soliste virtuose, Steven Mead. Cette version pour euphonium et piano est devenu un classique de concert. / Niveau : Elémentaire / oeuvre solo et Orchestre / Répertoire / Euphonium et Piano

Par GREGSON EDWARD. The Euphonium Concerto was commissioned by the Euphonium Foundation UK and was written for, and dedicated to, David Childs. This three-movement work, lasting some 22 minutes, is a truly 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./ Répertoire / Euphonium et Piano
