Par FLIGHT JAMES. A Short Sonata is a work written at around Grade 8 standard for Euphonium and Piano. In each of the work's three movements, different qualities of the instrument are utilised and explored. In the first movement, an Allegro in 6/8 time, these qualities are the instrument's general agility, and its ability to play fast-moveing melodies in a way that drives the music forward. Throughout, different ways of phrasing similar material are used to create interest and a varied sound. In the second, slow movement, the resonant and majestic way in which the euphonium can deliver lyrical melodic lines is explored. The movement usmade up of four long phrases which peak dynamically at the third, giving room for interpretation and feeling. The third movement exploits the instrument's ability to play loudly and aggressively, using lots of accented notes, hairpin crescendos and quick double-tounging. A Short Sonata was the winner of the first Stainer & Bell Award for Brass Composition, held at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama in Cardiff, May 2010./ Recueil / Tuba et Piano

Par SPARKE PHILIP. The Green Hills of Tyrol (Les vertes collines du Tyrol) est une commande de Jrena et Beat Knüsel pour leur fils, le joueur d’euphonium suisse Joel Knüsel, pour célébrer son 20e anniversaire, en 2019. Ils souhaitaient une pièce adaptée à une compétition de solistes, peut-être fondée sur une mélodie écossaise ou irlandaise, et le compositeur Philip Sparke suggéra qu’un air varié à l’ancienne pourrait leur convenir. La pièce adopte la formule typique d’un thème suivi de quatre variations. L'histoire de la mélodie d’origine est fascinante. Bien que celle-ci soit maintenant bien connue en tant qu’air pour cornemuse, ses racines se trouvent en Autriche ou en Italie, plutôt qu’en Écosse. La mélodie apparaît dans un chœur de soldats suisses dans l’opéra de Rossini Guillaume Tell (1829), mais était sans doute empruntée à un air folklorique tyrolien. En 1854, durant la guerre de Crimée, le cornemuseur-major John MacLeod, du 93e régiment des Highlanders, entendit des musiciens du contingent sarde interpréter des extraits de l’opéra dans leur camp avant le siège de Sébastopol. La mélodie lui plaisant fort, il l’arrangea pour ses cornemuseurs. Il l’intitula The Green Hills of Tyrol, d’après le passage de Tell dans ce coin du Tyrol dans l’opéra. Depuis, elle est devenue populaire auprès des ensembles de cornemuses, qui l’appellent communément A Scottish Soldier suite à l’ajout de nouvelles paroles dans un succès de 1961 par Andy Stewart. / Date parution : 2022-07-20/ Répertoire / Euphonium en Sib et Piano
