Lord's Prayer Euphonium solo

Post by BopEuph »

I need to find a copy of the Lord's Prayer euphonium solo, but searching through the publishing companies, I can't find it. I see from the ITEA archive that Schirmer has an arrangement with piano, but the site brings up nothing.

Where can I find it?

Just use a trumpet copy. If it's for trumpet in C you're all set, if it's in Bb, transpose. :)

I'm not worried about the instrumentation (should've specified that, sorry). Heck, I'll play it written for viola solo if it exists (which it probably doesn't given that nobody wants to hear a viola solo :P ). What's the story behind the arrangement that seems to be getting popular for euphonium players? I'm sure I can find the same version around here for vocal solo, but what key is the euphonium version playing it in?

Hi Nick,

I play it in 'Bb' and it was written for voice. There must have been 12 copies at the music store in about 3 different keys. It's very popular as you know. They also had it in 'Db'... which is the same arrangement that Adam Frey played at SRTEC a couple of months ago.

I'm pretty sure you can find it in town there in Jax. It's only about $5 if I recall.

There is a beautiful version of this on Brian Bowman's CD, The Sacred Euphonium. Try e-mailing him.

Thanks, guys.

As it turns out, the director at the church has it (of course she does, what was I thinking?!). She just asked me what key, and I told her as long as it's not too high or too low, it should sound fine. I guess I'll see what key she brings me next week.

PS: I should've changed my location. Sorry Rick, no longer in Jax. I moved back to central Florida for a while. I bet it was easier to find there what with all the churches everywhere. I'm sure I can find it here, too if need be.
