Brass Ensemble Euphonium - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.844483 Composed by Phil Beaman. 20th Century,Instructional,Jazz. Score and parts. 5 pages. Phil Beaman #3414561. Published by Phil Beaman (A0.844483). Offbeat in Two is a vibrant piece that is all about the rhythmic drive! The downbeat is always a rest as are most of the cardinal beats. The notes are easy; the difficulty level depends on how well you feel offbeat rhythms. I have marked it as Intermediate not only because of rhythms, but also because it is all tongued and up tempo. For some instruments, Parts 1 & 4 might push the upper and lower range limits. Form is AA, bridge, BB, D.C., Coda with the A theme in a contrasting key. Individually the parts are not difficult, but it is the dynamic way they pulse together and interact that creates interest and excitement. It is a wild ride for one and a half minutes! With the right drive and energy this can be a real showpiece!5 pages score and parts; recording is a piano reduction of parts.This version is for Baritone Horn Quartet. Go for it!
