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

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.

Euphonium and Piano - advanced

SKU: CY.CC2722

Composed by Georges Bizet. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. 19th Century French. Solo part and Piano accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2722).

The Chants du Rhin (Songs of the Rhine), a cycle of six pieces, based on poems by Joseph Mery, were written in 1865, and Bizet performed two of them on 16 April 1866 at a soiree of the Beaujolais Philharmonic Society. The songs are grouped symmetrically around La bohemienne as the central piece, framed by two meditatively yearning pieces (in E and D flat major) and two vividly exuberant ones (similarly in E and D flat major), with L'aurore serving as an introduction.

In this cycle Bizet takes up the theme of the gypsy girl which had already entered European music in the operas The Bohemian Girl by the Irish composer Michael William Balfe and Verdi's Il trovatore, as well as in Franz Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsodies for piano. Bizet will return to it one year later in La jolie fille de Perth and ten years later in Carmen. The fourth piece Les confidences shows similarities in tonality, structure and motifs to the middle part of the third movement of Chopin's Sonata in B minor.

This version includes parts in B-flat treble clef as well as bass clef.

SKU: CY.CC2619

Composed by Nikolay Andreyevich Rimsky-Korsakov. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. Romantic. Solo part and accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2619).

The Serenade, Op. 37 was conceived for Cello with Piano accompaniment, but later in life the composer scored the work for the solo instrument with orchestra. The Low Brass world knows Rimsky-Korsakov for his Trombone Concerto for Band. The Serenade has a very similar mood to the slow movement of the Concerto. It's beautiful lilting rhythm combined with a wonderful melody makes this work very worthwhile.
Mr. Sauer's arrangement brings a beautiful feel to this 4 minute work, which is appropriate for advanced performers.

Part s for Bass and Treble readers are supplied.

SKU: CY.CC2516

Composed by Camille Saint-Saens. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. French 20th Century. Solo part and piano score. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2516).

Le Rossignol or the Nightingale is originally a vocalise for Soprano solo from Saint-Saen's incidental orchestral music for the play, Parysatis written in 1902. This 4 minute work is all about mood. For this arrangement, Mr. Sauer transposes into the key of C, which lays perfectly for all of the bird-like calls that are in phrases which are slurred. The music has a lot of ad lib. tempo sections which gives the performer plenty of time to create that magic call of the Nightingale. Early writers thought it was the female that sang, but in fact it is the male. The Nightingale usually sings at night or just before dawn when other birds are silent and has a strong spontaneous song with an impressive range of trills and whistles.
