Playgrounds are full of children having fun together. No matter their background, the laughter and shrieks of joy are the same as they run and play. Playground Games by Cooper Ford is a playful musical portrait of this experience. In the first section, the children gather for their game as the melody is supported by building rhythmic energy. The second section depicts another game in a round. Finally, it's time to go home, but only after one quick moment to finish! This piece uses only the notes of a D major scale and simple rhythms. Parts are doubled in second violin/viola and cello/bass. (2:00).

Children the world over love 'playtime'. A welcome break from lessons, a time to burn some energy and have fun. A time to play some games!Playground Games is a collection of etudes for bass trombone portraying these traditional games and reflecting on the childrens' enjoyment. We can picture them jumping, playing Hopscotch, Leapfrog and 'Skipping' (the Double Dutch version of this popular game) and running around in the fast and furious Tag! More peaceful moments are to be found when you sense the concentration during Marbles and Cat's Cradle and an exciting contest is on during Conker Fight.These entertaining pieces are in many genres and styles, keys and meters. Some etudes are funky and rhythmic, others dance-like with waltzes and a merry gigue. They are appropriate for intermediate to advanced performers.The etudes evoke feelings for those on the playground today and for others, bringing back happy memories.

In this composition the composer gives an impression of the village square where all the young people gather. In four movements he takes us along to his home town: 1. Folkdance - Moments of happiness, freedom from worries and optimism 2. Sunday Afternoon - a musical picture of a quiet day 3. Hide 'n Seek - time for sports and games 4. Saturday Night Fever - the sounds of a Saturday can also be heard on the square De componist heeft getracht een impressie te geven van het dorpsplein waar de jeugd zich verzamelt. In vier delen neemt hij ons mee door zijn woonplaats. 1. Folkdance - Momenten van opgewektheid, zorgeloosheid en optimisme 2. SundayAfternoon - de rustdag muzikaal weergegeven 3. Hide'n Seek - tijd voor sport en spel 4. Saturday Night - de geluiden van de zaterdag klinken ook door op het plein.

James Grant's Double Concerto for Euphonium and Tuba was commissioned by a consortium of individuals and ensembles. Regarding the concerto, Grant says, Movement I, 'Playground', needs little description beyond its title. Together, the two solo instruments make their way through a relentless maze of technical challenges (imagine seesaws, sliding boards, swing sets, obstacle courses and trampolines) accompanied by wind ensemble, which is faced with its own insistent array of fun and games. Movement II, 'Passage', is best described as the recollection of a journey - as though the two soloists have returned from a noble quest and are recounting their adventures... Like the title to the first movement, the title to movement III, 'Sprint', speaks for itself. The music is based on materials from a previous work originally scored for tuba quartet called 'Etude/Attitude', and is a breathless, high-energy romp from beginning to end..

In the spring of 2010, University of Arizona Associate Professor of Music Kelly Thomas invited me to join him in designing a project that would result in a new and challenging large-scale work for the euphonium repertoire. I eagerly accepted; and after tossing around a number of ideas, we decided that a double concerto for euphonium and tuba with wind ensemble accompaniment would not only be great fun to put together, but also would contribute significantly to the growing repertoire of new music designed specifically to show off the virtuoso capabilities of these two low brass instruments. Movement I, Playground, needs little description beyond its title. Together, the two solo instruments make their way through a relentless maze of technical challenges (imagine seesaws, sliding boards, swing sets, obstacle courses, and trampolines) accompanied by the wind ensemble, which is faced with its own insistent array of fun and games. Movement II, Passage, is best described as the recollection of a journey -- as though the two soloists have returned from a noble quest and are recounting their adventures. Unique to this movement is the challenging role played by the ensemble's two euphoniumists and two tubists -- the instrumentation commonly referred to as a tuba quartet. One might easily imagine that this tuba quartet has accompanied the soloists on their journey, as they are featured prominently in the movement supporting the soloists' unfolding narrative; and twice, all six instruments briefly join forces to present unaccompanied triple two-voice canons -- just think Frere Jacques on steroids, played by three euphoniums and three tubas. Like the title to the first movement, the title to movement III, Sprint, speaks for itself. The music is based on materials from a previous work originally scored for tuba quartet, called Etude/Attitude, and is a breathless, high-energy romp from beginning to end.
