Instrumental Duet,Piano Baritone Horn TC,Euphonium,Instrumental Duet,Piano - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.842571 Composed by Gioachino Rossini. Arranged by Sean Brennan. Classical,Concert,Graduation,Romantic Period. Score and parts. 19 pages. Bl_music #6643225. Published by bl_music (A0.842571). Theme and Variations by G. Rossini, arr. Brennan for Solo Euphonium/Baritone with Piano accompaniment This edition is the theme and variations from Rossini's Introduction, Theme and Variations originally for clarinet and orchestra.                This version has been performed and recorded by a number of internationally renowned Euphonium soloists. We first published the complete Introduction, Theme and Variations for Euphonium in 1991 and performed it on a 1830s ophicleide and a 1840s square piano in 1993. This edition comes with a shortened introduction,theme and variations. Duration around 8 ½ min. Solo part in treble and bass clef.Message from Sean Brennan:This arrangement, or more correctly transcription, was first published by us in 1991, although its origins go back much further than that. I do remember being transfixed in the 1970s by Richard Stoltzman’s recording of the original form of the work for clarinet and orchestra. I was convinced it would work for Euphonium and that one day there would be players with the technique, and above all musicality, to bring it off. For me, this vision came true in 1994 when we first performed the piece in Birmingham in 2004, and then again 10 years later when David Thornton and the Black Dyke Band recorded the Theme and Variations. Rossini composed the Introduction, Theme and Variations for clarinet and orchestra in 1810 at the request of a fellow student at the Conservatorio di Bologna. Although the autograph score has been lost, and some musicologists have questioned the authenticity of the work, I find no reason for doubt since Rossini recycled some of the material in later works, and apart from that his evervascent musical personality is abundant from beginning to end.

Brass Ensemble Trombone - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.811165 Composed by Luigi Boccherini. Arranged by Andrew Poirier and Greg Passmore. Baroque,Classical,Latin,Romantic Period. Score and parts. 34 pages. Gordon Cherry #5790807. Published by Gordon Cherry (A0.811165). Players and audiences alike will be captivated by the energy and pizazz of Boccherini's Introduction et Fandango. Initially composed for string quintet, this capricious work was also arranged by Boccherini for guitar and string quartet. Now the visionaries at iTromboni bring you the ultimate evolution of this masterpiece in the form of a trombone quintet (4 tenors, 1 bass), gregariously adapted and arranged by Greg Passmore and Andrew Poirier. Some people may even use castanets to enhance this obviously Spanish work. We might make fun of them for it, but they might do that. It is interesting that well within the Classical Period framework, a vast array of textures and string effects were pioneered by this adventurous composer.

Trombone Quartet Bass Trombone,Euphonium,Tuba - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1285374 Composed by Louis-Francois Dauprat (1781-1868). Arranged by Becky Dugan. 19th Century,Chamber,Classical,Contest,Festival. 27 pages. B. L. Dugan #876489. Published by B. L. Dugan (A0.1285374). Moderately advanced trombonists or low brass musicians will enjoy this arrangement of Dauprat's Introduction, Andante & Allegro (Quartet No.3). With a slow and solemn opening, it moves to a 3/4 section which is followed by a rousing Allegro and even faster closing section.  This work is apprpriate for festivals, concerts, recitals and other special occasions.

Saxophone Quartet,Woodwind Ensemble Alto Saxophone,Baritone Saxophone,Soprano Saxophone,Tenor Saxophone - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1167803 By United States Army. By John Philip Sousa. Arranged by Aaron Hettinga. Classical,Historic,March,Patriotic,Traditional. 9 pages. Aaron Hettinga #768155. Published by Aaron Hettinga (A0.1167803). The official U.S. Army song, commonly known as “The Caissons Go Rolling Along� or “The Army Goes Rolling Along,� predates John Philip Sousa’s version by several years. In 1917, Sousa composed “The U.S. Field Artillery March� containing the Caisson Song’s melody as the basis for the march’s TRIO section.This arrangement makes use of Sousa’s introduction, then remains faithful to his harmonic treatment and the flavors of the melody and accompaniments throughout. While each of the four parts do feature some small technical requirements, they remain at an intermediate level where even less-experienced players should be able to pull them off handily.While originally scored here for SATB Saxophone quartet, a sub part to play the top line on Alto sax is also included.This arrangement is a great vehicle to share some patriotic flair on your patriotic Saxophone quartet program!Note: the live demo recording is made from a brass quintet version of this same basic arrangement.
