Hey everybody, if you havent heard this on euphonium, its amazing

http://www.acidplanet.com/artist.asp?PID=855542&t=3400

My question is, does anyone know where I can get the piece, and If i have to read it from flute music......................how is flute music transposed anyway, im not familiar with it at all. IM pretty sure note names are concert pitch, is it like C treble? (definitely not a flutist here)

The concert flute is in C, therefore the music is not transposed at all; the same as written piano music.

Heh i was close/right i guess. Well this looks like an opportunity to either add reading C treble to my list, or a transposing practice. Can anyone tell me how Alto Sax's and French horns transpose because i really want to read that music, im sick of trumpet / clarinet lol.

A quick search shows

which is more complete than I could explain it.

I'm sure you could find a bunch more...

Highams is outstanding, I often click on "play artist radio" while at work.

Transposing is easy if you get a copy of Finale or PrintMusic...

Read tenor sax and bass clarinet just as you would trumpet TC music.

When an Eb instrument plays a written C it sounds concert Eb.

so when reading alto sax (and Eb instrument) just play it like bass clef except for the key signature?

Hi folks,

Just got back and found this message, thanks for the nice comments. If you want me to dig out the music and let you know the publisher, let me know.

Adam Gorb was thrilled with it and how it worked on euphonium.

The other track, Canzonetta

I read straight from the alto sax part, just changing the key signature.

Thanks Highams, I would definitely appreciate the background info such as publication. Anyone mind reminding me how to read alto apart from Bass Clef. Its the same except.......(is it minus three sharps)?

Thanks again,



Kevin

Just three times as slow...

The publication in the UK is by Brass Wind Publications;

It's a book of 7 solos for Flute & Piano by Adam Gorb titled 'Roll Over Bach' catalogue number 1314.

The Eb Treble instruments, alto sax, are fairly easy for a bass clef C reader, like Euphonium. Here is the trick. Pretend you are reading bass clef and add 3 flats. You will have some initial problems with accidentals where the natural half steps are but that will pass. A written Bb in Eb treble clef becomes a Db. A written G# becomes a B.
