The Trombone/Euphonium solos of Gardell Simons have been sadly forgotten over the years. Atlantic Zephyrs is the only one known to most. Gregory Cox has compiled five of them in a new collection:
Atlantic Zephyrs
The Gondolier
Polka Caprice
The Volunteer
The Weldon Polka
The solos are about 5 minutes in length each and are appropriate for Intermediate level and above (range goes up to high C). They are light and delightful, harking back to the turn-of-the last century in style.
Cherry Classics is pleased to have brought them back to life, set in their original format in the Vintage Brass Collection.

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.

This new book from De Haske helps fill the need for melodic unaccompanied solos for the tuba. It contains 16 wonderful concert studies that develop sound and technique while providing a rich environment for the study of style. The accompanying demo CD, performed by Patrick Sheridan, gives you an idea of how it should be done. This book is a must for all developing tuba players.

Eindelijk is er een studieboek met muziek in een verscheidenheid van stijlen - speciaal geschreven voor tubaspelers door moderne componisten, onder wie André Waignein, Thomas Doss, Ferrer Ferran, Philip Sparke en Roland Kernen. Dezeconcertetudes zijn bedoeld voor het ontwikkelen van de klank en techniek, met oog voor de kwaliteit van de muzikale inhoud binnen een scala van stijlen.De wereldberoemde tubasolist Patrick Sheridan heeft de stukken op de bijgevoegdecd voorgespeeld.

Nun gibt es endlich ein Buch voll Konzertetüden mit Musik in einer Vielzahl von Stilen, von modernen Komponisten speziell für die Tuba geschrieben! Dieses Buch enthält sechzehn gro�artige Konzertetüden zur Entwicklung von Ton und Technik und ist darüber hinaus reich an Material für Stilstudien. Auf der Demo-CD ist eine Interpretation der Studien von Patrick Sheridan zu hören. Die Bass-Stimme in B wurde in der für das Instrument optimalen Transposition geschrieben. Das bedeutet jedoch, dass die CD nur als Hörbeispiel verwendet werden kann, Mittspielen zur CD ist nicht möglich.

Pendant longtemps, les tubistes nâ??ont eu quâ??un choix limité de recueils dâ??études leur permettant de travailler le son et la technique. Certes, les précédents recueils constituent un excellent moyen de développer ces deux éléments, mais la qualité du contenu musical de certaines études fait défaut et ce quel que soit le style et en dépit de lâ??intérêt quâ??elles présentent en tant quâ??approche des différentes tonalités et intervalles spécifiques. Câ??est donc avec joie que nous accueillons enfin un recueil dâ??études de concert de styles variés, écrites spécialement pour le tuba par de talentueux compositeurs dâ??aujourdâ??hui.

Approfondite le tecniche più avanzate richeste ai suonatori di tuba per essere dei veri solisti all'interno di un gruppo da camera come di una grande orchestra. Intervalli, intonazione e fraseggio sono gli elementi più ricorrenti nelle pagine di questa raccolta di studi. Il CD propone la demo di ogni brano.

At the request of the dynamic Eufonix Quartet (Danny Helseth, Aaron Tindall, Kelly Thomas, Pat Stuckemeyer), I composed Homage for premiere at the 2015 Northeast Regional Tuba Euphonium Conference, held at Ithaca College in New York. Compositionally, my intention was to capitalize on the uncanny capacity of the four musicians of Eufonix to match tone color and nuance, always the mark of a gifted ensemble. Homage unfolds as a simple memory of respect, admiration, affection and thanks. Set in a timeless ebb and flow of gently swelling harmonies, an introspective calm emerges as performers and listeners meet in a welcome space of repose. The experience is one of shared ritual, imbued with hope and quiet optimism. Originally scored for quartet of two euphoniums and two tubas, Homage is effective for any combination of low brass instruments. The music takes on exceptional depth and meaning when presented by a large ensemble.
