As the progressive rock band 'Transatlantic' quote in their song of the same name "We All Need Some Light".
Since the dawn of man, fire has been our most essential companion. A steadfast provider, it is a source of comfort, assurance and safety. On the other hand though, fire is one of natures most brutal and unpredictable forces; erratic, entrancing, devastating and spectacular.
Our personal 'fire' finds us in a multitude of ways. At one stage or another, we will all search for The Healing Power of Flame.
Proverbially is a concertino for euphonium and brass band. The piece is structured in three individual movements, each around 3 minutes. Each movement is based on a particular modern proverb:
Category: SOLOS - Tuba in BC Composer: Philip Sparke
When writing his tuba concerto, Philip Sparke wanted to create a work which explored the many aspects of the instrument’s technical and vocal qualities but without resorting to caricature. The result is a concerto in two joined movements, which can both be programmed individually, that contains both many lyrical lines together with stunning virtuosic passages. An outstanding concerto that tuba players and brass band audiences alike will enjoy and applaud.
Categories: SOLOS for E♭. Horn, SOLOS for Horn in F Composer: Philip Wilby
A fabulous new concerto for horn in Eb. or F with piano or brass band accompaniment.
This exciting new concerto is a welcome addition to the repertoire of french and tenor horn players alike. Like the 18th-Century Serenade form there are five movements, arranged symmetrically around a slow movement – Soliloquy – which separates movements entitled Burlesque (two) and Valse Caprice (three) respectively. The first and last movements share common material of a more symphonic stature, and the concerto ends with a brisk fugato. The solo horn is (in the band version) accompanied by a quintet of solo players (two cornets, euphonium, trombone, and tuba) who provide the lion’s share of the counterpoint and contrast with the main body of musicians who provide musical punctuation in the more sonorous tutti sections. The first movement, Don Quixote’s Dream, contains references to Cervantes’ famous hero, the Spanish nature of his stories, and the ambling gait of his horseback adventures.
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 - Euphonium Composer: Johann Nepomuk Hummel Arrangers: Robert Childs, Philip Wilby
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 - 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.
