Euphonium solos

[bububassboner]

Even though its writen for tuba a cool peice is hijacker longa. Its a middle eastern peice for oud that plays really well on euph.(Matt Tropman did a sweet recording of this) There is also the blue lake fantasies by gillingham.

I am starting to put together my master's degree recital program

Will it be with piano accompaniment?

[WorldofBrass.com]

Yes, mostly piano accompaniment, but I'd like to do an accompanied piece as well.

In that case you may be interested in the Derick Kane Euphonium Album which contains 14 solos, mostly original compositions, by composers from the British Isles. Contact me by PM if you'd like some more information about the album or the individual solos in it.

I'm working up the Wilder Sonata for Euphonium and Piano. It's a really cool piece that's not played very often.

I had not been aware of a Wilder euph sonata prior to reading this; is anyone aware of an available recording of the work?



Thanks

Lisa,

Great to hear that you want to try out new music. I am all for branching out and trying new things. Here is my short list for must do's that aren't the Cosma and Pantomime (like we haven't heard those enough, right?!?)

- Four Dialogues - Samuel Adler (duet w/ Marimba)
- Dream - Joseph T. Spaniola (w/ string quartet)
- Pearls w/ CD acc. - Szentpali (way cooler than the piano version)
- Concerto No. 1 - John Golland (the lesser-known Golland, but equally as beautiful)
- Concerto No. 2 - Philip Sparke (if you must play Sparke, at least make it something new that the audience hasn't heard yet)
- Relentless Grooves - Sam Pilafian (there is so much that you can do with this piece)
- Summer Isles - Philip Sparke (mvt. 2 from Hymn of the Highlands with a piano reduction - absolutely beautiful)

Just some ideas that you might not have thought about. I am sure you will put together a killer recital program. All the best, and say hello to Ben for me.

This one isn't written for euphonium, but Elgar's Cello Concerto might be interesting too do. I heard part of it on the radio the other day and it sounded doable on euph. And you'd have an orchestra behind you (if you can find one to do it!).



Hey, if nothing else it's at least British!

Steven Mead has recorded an arrangement of the Elgar Cello Concerto - I think it's a double cd , called elgar in brass ( polyphonic) it has Eric Ball's arrangement of Enigma Variations and a few others. It was recorded in the late 1980's and is still available.
