Euphonium,Piano - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.791973 Composed by Gustav Mahler. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. 20th Century,Classical,Romantic Period. Score and part. 28 pages. Gordon Cherry #399185. Published by Gordon Cherry (A0.791973). The Rückert Lieder by Gustav Mahler were written between 1901 and 1902, being first premiered in 1905 with Mahler himself conducting. The text of the songs is taken from poems set by Friedrich Rückert, a professor of Oriental languages. Mahler's music, able to convey complex emotions with seemingly simple melodic lines is the perfect vehicle for these poems. Ralph Sauer has taken four of these songs and edited them for performance on the Euphonium. He has also included the original German and English translations of the songs to aid the performers and also the listener to best enjoy the feelings coming from this sublime music. All together the songs are about 15 minutes in length. Although technically not difficult, these songs require a mature interpretation in order to best convey their message.

Euphonium,Piano - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.792635 Composed by Alexander Borodin. Arranged by Ralph Sauer. Romantic Period. Score and part. 12 pages. Gordon Cherry #5043701. Published by Gordon Cherry (A0.792635). The Petite Suite, published in 1885, is Borodin's major work for the Piano and originally comprised of seven movements.  Mr. Sauer's arrangement incorporates three of them: Intermezzo, Rêverie and Sérénade.  The Petite Suite was dedicated to the Belgian Countess Louise de Mercy-Argenteau, who was a supporter of Borodin and his music.  After Borodin's death in 1887, Glazunov orchestrated the Suite. The music has that Eastern flavor so indicative of Borodin's melodies, mysterious, lyrical and subtle.  Advanced performers will enjoy this work of almost 7 minutes which has been so beautifully arranged by Mr. Sauer.
