Category: SOLOS - Euphonium Composer: Antonio Capuzzi Arrangers: Robert Childs, Philip Wilby
Solo for Euphonium & piano.
Duration: 8:00
Capuzzi was an Italian violinist and composer who worked in Venice in the 1780s. His Concerto for Double Bass is charming and sports simple lines, crisp rhythms, and elegance of form. As a result, it is a great favourite. An ideal addition to recital and exam programmes, the present version of the second and third movements is perfect for young players and professionals alike, and fills a substantial hole in the euphonium repertoire of eighteenth century classics.

Euphonium & Piano
Duration 6.30
"In the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries the ‘fantasia’ or ‘pot-pourri’ was a popular genre built on a selection of hit tunes of the day. Hummel wrote three such works, for guitar, cello, and viola; this arrangement is based on a shortened version of the work for viola and orchestra. The original, published as Hummel’s Opus 94, dates from about 1820 and includes themes from Mozart’s Don Giovanni, The Marriage of Figaro, Die Entführung aus dem Serail, and Rossini’s Tancredi."

Category: Solos Composer: Edward Elgar Arranger: Eric Wilson
For any Bb. Instrument.
Elgar is rightly well-known as the composer of large-scale symphonies and cantatas, but he was also a master of the smaller form and wrote many short works for a vaiety of genres.
This short Serenade, originally for piano, sits well as a work for solo instrument and piano and is arranged here for B-flat soloist. It is particularly suited to the trumpet or cornet and requires a fair amount of delicacy and musicality.

Category: SOLOS - Tuba in BC Composer: Philip Sparke
Duration 13.20
Philip Sparke’s Tuba Concerto was commissioned by the German brass instrument manufacturer, Miraphone; it was composed for, and dedicated to, the composer’s long-time friend, Markus Theinert, who gave the first performance on 30th April 2006 in Sigmaringen, Germany, accompanied by the Brass Band Oberschwaben-Allgau.
The idea for a tuba concerto had been discussed many times between the soloist and composer, who wanted to be sure that the piece really was a concerto for tuba and that its material would suit the instrument in the role of a soloist without resorting to caricature. To this end the solo part covers almost 31/2 octaves and uses the instrument’s technical and lyrical qualities to the full.
The concerto is in two joined movements, which can both be programmed individually. The first movement starts slowly with a noble tune and gathers momentum until a cadenza heralds the return of the opening material. The second is in the form of a scherzo, which starts in determined mood and gradually lightens in character until, again, the opening material closes the work robustly.
The concerto is available with concert band, brass band or piano accompaniments.
Performance notes:The opening of the concerto can be played either by the soloist or the band, following the instructions in the score and parts.
Tuba Concerto, by Philip Sparke, is available on the CD 'Debut - Joseph Cook' by Black Dyke Band, conducted by Dr. Nicholas J. Childs.
