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.

Composed by Francis Poulenc. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. 20th Century French. Solo part and piano score. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2530).

The Bestiary or The Procession of Orpheus was written by Poulenc in 1919. Mr. Sauer's adaptation of six short movements of about 5 minutes in length, originally for voice are poems from 1911 by Guillaume Apollinaire about animals: Camel, Goat, Grasshopper, Dolphin, Crayfish and Carp.

This music is very suitable for young performers at the intermediate level and is a great way to introduce them to a major 20th century composer who's only other music for brass is the famous Trio.

Euphonium & piano - advanced

SKU: CY.CC2604

Composed by Gabriel Faure. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. French 20th Century. Solo part and piano accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2604).

Faure is well known for his lyricism and haunting harmonies. In a way, he was the father of French Impressionist music.

The Serenade, Opus 98 was originally written for the great 20th century Cellist, Pablo Casals.

Mr. Ralph Sauer has kept the arrangement in the same key as the Cello. The work is playable by advanced performers.

This arrangement is another example of Mr. Sauer's excellent feel for the subtleties of the composer's style.

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.

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

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.

SKU: CY.CC2697

Composed by Reinhold Moritzovich Gliere. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. Russian 19th Century. Solo part and Piano accompaniment. Published by Cherry Classics (CY.CC2697).

Gliere's Two Pieces, Op. 9 is an early work, originally written for double bass with the two movements having been beautifully arranged for Euphonium and Piano by Ralph Sauer.

The Intermezzo is lyrical, sensual and Eastern sounding.

The Tarantella is a sprightly folk dance of southern Italy. The curious name comes from the wolf spider or Tarantula whose bite is highly poisonous and in earlier times was believed to cause the victims to engage in a frenzied dance.

The two movements are about 9.5 minutes in length and are
appropriate for advanced performers.

The mp3 clip is of Ralph Sauer on Trombone and Mac Booke on Piano.

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.

This item is now available with parts in bass and treble clef.

About 12 minutes in length, these four movements are appropriate for advanced performers.

Euphonium & Piano - advanced

SKU: CY.CC2652

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.

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.

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

The mp3 sample is a clip taken from a live masterclass recital at the 2012 Academy of the West Festival performed by Trombonist Kensey Chellis and Pianist Chorong Park.
