Does anyone have any ideas about works or sources of works for 10 piece brass ensemble (or similar instrumentation) that have euphonium parts?
I'm searching for info for the Euphonium Source Book. I've identified several such pieces, but not as many as I would've thought I could find.
Cheers,
Seth

Mike Allen - Boulder Brass arrangements have euph parts and are for a larger brass ensemble. I do not recall if they are for 10 Piece or not. The arrangements by Mike Allen are very nice. Very "Canadian Brass-esque"
I seem to recall that they are for:
4 trumpets
2 Horns
4 Trombones
1 Euph
1 Tuba
Again... I could be wrong on the instrumentation

Boulder Brass arrangements
Hi all,
I'll take the bait and do a little shameless self promotion. I've arranged/orchestrated well over a hundred pieces for my 11 piece brass ensemble - the Boulder Brass.
Most are scored for:
4 trumpets
2 horns
3 trombones
1 euphonium
1 tuba
The decision to write for this combination was based on several things:
1) The euphonium in player in our group is a trombone player who is a very fine euphonium player - this allows us to play most of the PJBE arrangements
2) This instrumentation also allows us to play double quintet charts
3) I always felt that the sound of one horn got lost in the PJBE except in the most transparent situations. When we play PJBE stuff, we sometimes double the horn part.
This instrumentation was adopted by the Burning River Brass and in fact, I arranged most of their first CD (Knights and Castles) and Pictures at an Exhibition and Shostakovich Concertino, Opus 94 for their second CD (Russian Carnival).
I'll provide a complete list of charts to any that are interested.
Best regards -
Mike Allen
