Category: Solos Composer: Caesar Frank Arranger: Stephen Tighe
Arranged as a soprano solo, this is Possibly the most famous song that Cesar Franck every composed. This soothing piece has been recorded by everyone from Luciano Pavarotti to Charlotte Church. Composed in 1872, originally for Organ, Harp, Cello, Double Bass and Tenor Voice, the piece was later interpolated into a 3 voice mass. A popular piece for any concert occasion.
Category: Solos Composer: Caesar Frank Arranger: Philip Sparke
Band arrangement which features the Solo Cornet.
Although Cesar Franck won many prizes during his student days his music was generally unrecognised by his contemporaries. His pieces were written in the romantic style whilst retaining a classical structure and his later compositions were referred to as 'cathedrals of sound'. Panis Angelicus is poetic and almost serene and this arrangement by Philip Sparke retains all of the beauty of the original.
Parallel Realities is one of Peter Meechan’s earliest works for brass. It was composed in the year 2000 and although originally intended for solo trumpet, it has been well and truly adopted into the euphonium repertoire having received over 30 performances in this form. The first performance was given by David Thornton in January 2001.
