Euphonium and Piano - advanced

SKU: CY.CC2711

Composed by Zoltan Kodaly. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. Hungarian 20th Century. Solo part and Piano accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2711).

Four Pieces from Opus 11 arranged for Euphonium and Piano by Ralph Sauer are originally from a group of seven pieces for solo Piano written between 1917 and 1918, except for movement 3, Il pleure dans mon coeur comme il pleut sur la ville (It rains in my heart like it rains in the city) from 1910.

The writing is very expressive and dark, possibly evoking the mood of Europe in the throes of great upheavals and the Great War.

Euphonium and Piano - advanced

SKU: CY.CC2545

Composed by Enrique Granados. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. Spanish National. Solo part and piano score. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2545).

Granados was a Spanish composer whose music had the unique style of his homeland burned into his soul. He was also a very talented painter in the style of Goya.

The Two Dances, 1. Oriental and 2. Fandango are taken from the 12 danzas espanolas, volume I from 1890, for Piano.

Mr. Sauer has brilliantly taken the solo Piano part and divided it between solo Euphnium and Piano.

Euphonium performers will enjoy working on this style of Spanish Nationalist music of which there is none in the solo repertoire.

The Two Dances (in tenor clef) are about 6 1/2 minutes in length and can be performed by advanced musicians.

The mp3 sample is an excerpt of the Bass Trombone version taken from a live performance at the 2012 Academy of the West Festival performed by David Hagee and Luis Ortiz, Pianist.

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.

Euphonium & piano - intermediate

SKU: CY.CC2602

Composed by Leos Janacek. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. 20th Century Czech. Solo part and piano accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2602).

These are fifteen short, but intense works by Leos Janacek. This music is indeed a great gift to the Euphonium solo literature by Mr. Sauer.

These pieces can be performed by intermediate to advanced performers and are about 9 minutes total in length.

Below are a few notes from the arrangement by Ralph Sauer.

Originall y for solo piano, the Fifteen Moravian Folksongs are remarkable for their musicality as well as their brevity - the only notated, repeated passage in the entire work is in Number 5. Because Janacek included the text in his piano score (with no indication that it should be sung), and the fact that there are, in many cases, indications that the text is only a first verse, I have included some additional repeats.

The mp3 sound sample is from a recital at the 2012 Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara. Performance by Ralph Sauer, trombone and Natasha Kislenko, piano.

Beach used melodies from eleven Inuit songs she discovered from an early recording and set them to European harmonies.

Composed by Frank Bridge. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. 20th Century British. Solo and Piano. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2652).

British composer Frank Bridge is mainly remembered for his beautiful chamber music. The Four Pieces from 1912 are originally for Violin and Piano and are titled:
1. Meditation
2. Spring Song
3. Lullaby
4. Country Dance
Mr. Sauer has done a beautiful job scoring these works for Euphonium. There is a wonderful simplicity to Bridge's music, a simplicity that was lost forever just two years later at the beginning of the Great War, WW I. Bridge's most famous composition student was Benjamin Britten, who wrote one of his greatest works as an homage to Bridge.
