Howard Snell writes :
These four pieces were written for Gordon Higginbottom and the Tenor Horn Society, but are equally at home on the Euphonium. While they are essentially playful – “Bagatelle – a trifle, a light piece of verse or music” – two of the movements (2 and 3) tip the cap, with due reverence, to Brahms (including some quotation) and Bach. The third movement, in fact, requires the player to join in creating the piece by choosing a significant number of factors: the tempo, the articulation, and the overall characterisation. Above all, these little pieces require a very wide range of response, both musical and technical: in Nr. 1, for example, the mood varies from light and elegant to raucous and jazzy, while in Nr. 4, helter-skelter is the key. Both contain a certain amount of bad-tempered conflict between the soloist and the pianist. part.

From the pen of Richard Rock comes a solo that should belong in every bands library. The Baritone has long been the most under rated instrument of the Brass Band movement, but on hearing this work, all that could change.
“Appassionata” is a simply gorgeous melodic work that can show off the Baritone instrument in a light not often seen. With the parts not too demanding either, this really is a must for all Baritone players.
Category: SOLOS - B♭. Cornet/Trumpet with Piano Composer: Joy Webb
Arranged especially for “Kirsty Abbotts’ solo CD by Stephen Hague, this gem of a piece comes from the salvation army composer Joy Webb (composer of the well known cornet solo “Share My Yoke”). A New Dimension incorporates the same simplicity, lush harmonies and a gorgeous tune as was done in “Share My Yoke”. A perfect addition to any bands library and soloists repertoire.

This melodic Tenor Horn solo was composed for Kate Brown of the Fulham Band. With moving band parts and a tuneful, yet technical solo part, this piece allows the soloist to show off their high register and technical skills whilst maintaining entertainment value for the audience. A welcome addition to any horn player’s repertoire.
Composed for the Baritone players of Bournemouth Concert Band, this is a rare work for what has been, until recently one of the most under-rated instruments in the Brass Band.
Marked “Allegro Giocoso”, this lively piece shows off the band and allows the soloists to demonstrate their melodic and technical skill.

Winners Galore is essentially a series for unaccompanied use, but whether for use in performance or for simply enjoying the experience of ensemble playing, the addition of piano accompaniment opens up a new playing experience for the beginner player. The simple piano accompaniments to Winners Galore have been especially arranged.
"... a separate piano accompaniment which even the pianistically challenged should be able to bluff their way around ..."

"Romance was probably written between 1811 and 1821, when he rested from opera, if indeed the piece is genuinely by Weber. There seems to be no hard evidence from any contemporary source that it is by him, but since it first appeared with Weber's name at the top around the beginning of the 20th century no other composer has been found to replace it.
Trombonists of course are woefully lacking in works by the great classical and romantic composers, so they have never thought it worthwhile to abandon this piece, even if its origins are questionable."
"An urtext edition of this piece is impossible, so I have included what I consider to be the best features of several versions that have appeared over the years, plus some additional editorial changes. It is highly likely that the piece was originally written for bassoon, so some low music that is not possible on the tenor trombone, but appears in some editions, has been omitted. I am supported in this by the fact that the Bb/F trombone was not developed until after Weber's death. Similarly, one or two florid ornaments that might work well on the bassoon have been simplified, along with some extra dynamic and tempo markings." Chris Mowat
