Performance Notes

Introduction This piece boldly explores the Bâ™­ Major key and related tonalities.  It yields exciting moves to tease the audience’s appetite for the real treats of the variations. The key to performing this piece is to feel and emphasize the half-note rhythm and play the phrases against it.  Dynamics are up to the performer.

Theme & Variations

The delight for the performer and listener is to emphasize the unique traits of each variation while celebrating their similarities. A great audience toe-tapper (mostly!). Each variation’s title indicates how to play it; further notes below.

1 PLAYFUL Stretches the theme’s rhythms for a friendly teasing.

2 MAJESTIC This variation indulges in the compound meter exploration of the theme.  Emphasize the linear lines and the ornamental notes will shine.

3 BRIGHT Practice the intervallic phrasing until you can hear what note follows which.  Then bang it around for a jaunty, vigorous performance.

4 AGILE Practice slow then add speed.  The luscious 16th notes energize the phrases and give them wit.

5 TEARFUL Let the notes do the work-don’t try too hard.

6 FESTIVE Must use repeats.  A gigue that washes away the previous variation’s mood.  Always emphasize the one-two bounce feel throughout.

7 TREMENDOUS Molto expressivo.  This A section is anguish; B is reflective, loving, and then tender.

8 CHICKEN Chicken chickens chicken.  Chicken!

9 FANTASTICAL No repeats: just a glorious monstrosity of extraordinariness.  Get ugly.

10 MARCH Must use repeats.  If you clip the dotted notes and focus on the one-two, one-two march rhythm, the melody will soar.

11 BLUES Be sure to swing it and adjust the tempo so the bluesy sound comes through.

12 A CARNIVAL NEAR VENICE Akin to variation 2.  Practice it slow and build up speed.  Nothing more than the theme with a compound voice in the upper register.

13 FUGUE Distinguish the two lines and it’ll be like playing two tubas simultaneously.  Practice slow to learn to differentiate the two voices and it’ll be a dazzler.

14 FAREWELL A bittersweet mixture of bold thankfulness for the joyous discoveries and sadness for having to say goodbye.  Be aggressive with the arpeggios for the harmony to resound.

50 Favorite Hymns for Solo and Duet Instruments is a sequel to the first book, Hymns for Solo and Duet Instruments.  This second collection contains my all-time favorites and is written for early-mid-intermediate players.  The hymns are written so that instruments can be mixed and matched for duet or ensemble purposes.  Suitable for worship services, they can be played as offertories or special music selections, or as accompaniment to congregational singing.  Many of the hymns are in the traditional hymnal keys, however, there are some that may be slightly lower to accommodate instrumental ranges.  This tuba book contains only the melody of these hymns. One verse and chorus is written for each and can be repeated as needed.  Hymns with a particular theme or key can be combined for a medley, e.g. I Love to Tell the Story, Oh How I Love Jesus, and He Keeps Me Singing-all are in A-flat.  Melody and duet parts are available for flute/oboe, clarinet/trumpet, alto sax, French horn, and trombone/baritone/bassoon.  When necessary, parts occasionally cross for ease of playing for the bass instruments.  A piano accompaniment book is also available.  These accompaniments are eclectic in style and span the gamut from classical to gospel.  The hymns with their concert keys are:

1 Octave Scale Studies in 15+ keys for 4-part ensembles of like or mixed instruments

If this is your first exposure to these scale studies, you are in for a treat! Donuts, if you make a mistake!

The initial incarnation of these studies were written for trombone quartet and we would play them in the Tennessee Tech Trombone Choir with the challenge that whomever made the first mistake had to buy donuts for the rest of the ensemble. Since then I have brought that version to several clinics and warm up sessions. One time before I got to explain the title, a fellow trombone professor said, Oh, I get it! Don’t step in the holes!

I only wish I had thought of that myself... Since we have one of the best donut shops in TN here in Cookeville, treating the studio to sugar coated goodies was always my intent.

As with those initial exercises, you can vary these as much as you’d like.

·     Choose a tempo.

·     Choose a dynamic.

·     Choose an articulation/style.

One way I like to play these is to have one person be the model, playing the entire scale over and over while everyone else plays the fragmented versions. That helps everyone to keep on track and stay in time. Double or triple up the parts for ensemble cohesion with a larger group.

Practice one key, gradually speeding it up to improve fluidity, or choose a variation and take it through all keys, playing version A, B, C, or D then skipping to play the same set in a new key.

If you want an additional challenge, play them in different octaves or change the key. Play the F Major set in f minor (all forms), different modes, etc. Players really have to be on their toes to remember if they are playing melodic minor in the ascending or descending form! For jazz players, try swinging them in dorian or mixolydian modes.

The variations are endless!

If you are using these with transposing instruments, 1) is F Major in Concert Pitch, 2) is Bb Major in Concert pitch, and so on. When you reach a scale that is enharmonic for another key (Db/C#, Gb/F#, or Cb/B), they are presented in both keys for each instrument so Trumpets can play in Eb while the Flutes are playing in C# with similar examples for all keys.

All Donut Etudes with the same volume number are compatible so you can play them in mixed quartets or large ensembles with one or more instruments/people on part 1 and a different instrument on part 2, etc. Since the quartets are all identical, conductors/coaches can use any of the scores to tell which part should be playing at what time. Once you have played a scale with one set of parts, everyone can rotate to a different part and play the same scales again!

Enjoy!

Performance Notes

Prelude The real art of performing this piece is to master its dynamics. With the long pianissimo to forte crescendo at the introduction, the contrasting forte/mezzo piano sections and brisk, shorter crescendos for the cadences, the tubist must be aware of dynamics at all time and use them wisely.

The second aspect to performing this piece is to contrast the 2 eighth note plus quarter note slurs motif against the arpeggiations.  The introduction starts with the slurs and evolves into the arpeggiations by the first forte and the remaining piece explores the contrast between the two.  Performers should feel free to try different dynamics, try different tempos (like zipping through the arpeggiations and slowing for the motif), etc.

 

The goal is to bring the listener through the pleasantries of introductions to feel fresh and eager for further discourse ahead.

March The rewarding challenge in this piece is to bring out the difference between cheery and con brio.  The former being achieved by emphasizing the swaggering, strutting feel of the one-measure-per-beat feel and the latter by emphasizing the intervallic bounciness with the one-two march feel.

Note that the motif (with the quarter note morphing into an eighth note) along with simpler arpeggiations are brought to play in a new manner reinforcing the positive mood from the prelude.

The goal is to befriend the listener with an engaging, buoyant time.

Air The tubist will exercise great breath control and phrasing to achieve a sublime solemnness counterbalancing the prior two movements.

The motif now takes center stage headlining the main melodic phrases; however, here it is disjointed and conveys the sighing for the solemnness.

After the pleasantness of the march, affableness having garnered friendship, we now open ourselves to share some somber matters and offer consolation.  The intended goal here is to add depth to the relationship by addressing darker aspects in the discourse.

Slip-jig Rondo Harking back to the compound meter of the prelude, this dance adventurously wakens the listener from the solemnness of the air asserting a new grandness and gladness.  This is a slip-jig put into the rondo form so celebrate the main dance theme when it comes around and put fire and character into the transitions to make it worthwhile.

The motif now jumps into the compound meter’s beat and morphs into three slurred, conjoint eighth notes.  Now this motif enables several affects: exciting dance steps, transitions/modulations and concluding the phrases and the piece itself.

The performer should aim to lead and amaze the listener with the waltz-like slip-jig rhythm and astound with the virtuosic transitions as a final send-off.

Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Leyandder Trustworthy. Baroque,Christian,Easter,Sacred,World. Individual part. 3 pages. Leyandder Trustworthy #6331211. Published by Leyandder Trustworthy (A0.964500).

Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring is a popular piece of choral music. It was composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. It is the 10th movement of the cantata Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben. It was written during Bach's first year in Leipzig, Germany. Bach did not compose the melody. That was written by Johann Schop. Bach only harmonized and orchestrated Schop's melody. A transcription of Jesu was done by English pianist Myra Hess (1890-1965), and was published in 1926 for solo piano.
In 1934, Hess' version was adapted for piano duet. British organist Peter Hurford made a transcription of Jesu for organ. Today, Bach's piece is often performed at weddings and funerals. Bach wrote the piece for voices with trumpet, oboes, strings and continuo. Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring is one of Bach's most enduring pieces of music.
The present version is a facilitated reduction of the theme where it is soloed by Bâ™­ Tuba, along with piano accompaniment with chords that can be performed by the teacher and the ends. Ideal for young music students in the area, if you don't have a teacher to play along, search for item number: S0.1006121, here is an audio playback so you can play and study with ease and fluidity.

Programme Notes:

 Icarus Also Flew takes its title from the first line of the poem Failing and Flying by Jack Gilbert. He is referring to the classical myth of Daedalus and Icarus, an inventive father and son who bravely escape from their imprisonment in a tower by collecting the disposed feathers of seabirds, then fashion wings out of them and fly away. While the story is often treated as a morality tale--listen to your elders, don’t get cocky like the young man, Icarus, who, in such an understandable state of elation, ascended too close to the sun thus causing the wings to melt and his tumbling to his Mediterranean death--what Jack Gilbert reminds us is how regardless of one’s failure, the sheer transcendental experience of mortal flight remains glorious and unforgettable. Icarus’s fall was not into a legacy of disdain and oblivion, but in truth, he had come to the end of his triumph.

 This piece was the first of a series I composed during the Covid-19 quarantine conditions of 2020, to serve as potential contemporary preludes for each of Ludwig van Beethoven’s nine symphonies--his two hundred and fiftieth anniversary was this year!--though they can all stand on their own on any program. The connection, in this case, is with his celebrated fifth symphony in C minor--the Fate symphony, as it is commonly known. I’ll let the listener find their own connections.

About the Composer:

Benjamin Sajo (b. 1988) is a Canadian composer of contemporary classical music, as well as an educator. Since developing a fiercely independent creative voice upon the completion of his studies at Western (2010) and McGill Universities (2013), he continues to find inspiration from the intersection of mythology, art, and nature upon the contemporary human experience. In 2019, he released his premiere album of original music, The Great War Sextet: Canadian War Poetry with Trombone & Strings, with support from the Ontario Arts Council. He is a member of SOCAN and the League of Canadian Composers.
