The Vocalises by Giuseppe Concone were originally composed in the 19th Century as exercises for vocalists learning their art. More lately in the 20th Century, musicians have discovered this body of literature and have transcribed these exercises for every possible instrument for their inherent benefit in teaching musical expression, phrasing, lyricism and breath control.
Volume 1 of these duets or counterparts for Euphonium and Tuba are perfect for teacher and student to help perfect the techniques mentioned above and are of intermediate difficulty.

Granados was a Spanish composer whose music had the unique style of his homeland burned into his soul. He was also a very talented painter in the style of Goya.

The Two Dances, 1. Oriental and 2. Fandango are taken from the 12 danzas espanolas, volume I from 1890, for Piano.

Mr. Sauer has brilliantly taken the solo Piano part and divided it between solo Euphnium and Piano.

Euphonium performers will enjoy working on this style of Spanish Nationalist music of which there is none in the solo repertoire.

The Two Dances (in tenor clef) are about 6 1/2 minutes in length and can be performed by advanced musicians.

The mp3 sample is an excerpt of the Bass Trombone version taken from a live performance at the 2012 Academy of the West Festival performed by David Hagee and Luis Ortiz, Pianist.
