Composer Eduardo Nogueroles writes, “Brass Turbulences is a chamber piece for traditional brass quintet. The title of the works refers to the experience of air travel that brass ensembles make on tour. The nerves, the tiredness and the turbulence in the air inspired the piece, so that these sensations are recreated with the sounds of a group of brass instruments.” Learn More

Serenade, Op.21, for Euphonium and Orchestra was composed in January 1979 as a work commissioned by Henry Charles Smith for the Minnesota Orchestra.   Smith, longtime principal trombonist with the Philadelphia Orchestra before assuming the resident conductor/trombone post with the Minnesota Orchestra, was the soloist on euphonium in the premiere subscription concert performances with the orchestra later that year.  

The Serenade is “an attractive, accessible but by no means insubstantial work” (Michael Anthony review, Minneapolis Star Tribune) for the instrument and orchestra.  The Serenade runs about 15 minutes, is cast in four sections, and there is much of a feeling of a serenade about it, especially in the first two sections.  Even the scherzo-like third section, after several pages of brassy, rhythmically vibrant activity, concludes with a series of slow, upward moving, yearning phrases in the solo instrument.  The work is tonal and in the orchestral version, there is a considerable amount of solo work from various instruments of the orchestra – like the dialogue between the euphonium and the oboe in the “Nocturne” second section.   Forsberg always keeps the solo instrument busy, especially in the festive finale.  But his concern seems to be less with virtuosic display  - or with exploring new techniques for the instrument – than with exploiting the instrument’s lyrical potential.  Although written especially for the euphonium, the work might be performed as well with the tenor trombone.  After editing and a few minor revisions from the 1979 manuscript score, the piece will now be available from Cimarron Music Press in piano, orchestra and wind ensemble accompaniment versions.

BRASS MINIATURES for brass quintet by Howard J. Buss is in 4 short movements inspired by light and images reflected on polished brass: On the Edge, Refractions, Facets, and Illuminated Reflections. In November of 2018 the composer found a box labeled “1974” in a storage closet. It contained a collection of long-lost scores he had composed 4½ decades earlier. Upon examining the music it was apparent that in these works was a trove of youthful musical ideas that could be developed, polished, and edited into exciting “new” compositions. The musical content of first 3 movements of is close to that in the 1974 brass quintet. The final movement was rewritten to include elements of the original score, but updated to be closer to the composer’s current musical language. While On the Edge, Refractions, and Facets, have a decided edginess to them; Illuminated Reflections is more consonant and lyrical. It includes subtle references to material in the previous movements as well a buffed rendition of the opening melody of the first movement in its coda. Learn More

This Concerto for Euphonium and Wind Band was composed for one of my former teachers and fellow euphonist Dr. Gail Robertson. For this work I based the material around pitches corresponding to each letter of her first name: G = G natural; A = A natural; I = Ionian, or the current key’s tonic, C natural; L = Lydian, or the fourth degree of the current key, F natural. Each movement is derived in some way from this figure.

The work begins with an energetic fanfare and a taste of the second theme. The euphonium enters with similar pomp and dazzling virtuosity that settles into more heroic statements. Next, the euphonium soars over thick ensemble textures in a tender reflection. Finally, the soloist charges forth in a ferocious display of dexterity and power.

The Concerto premiered April 21^st, 2016 by Dr. Gail Robertson (euphonium) and the Little Rock Wind Symphony - Israel Getzov, conductor.

Ms. Wan-Yun Liang is a young Taiwanese woman composer, whose works mostly focus on winds chamber music as well as ensemble works. The Euphonium Concerto, Ms. Liang’s latest composition, was commissioned by Shih-Yao Huang, a Taiwanese Baritone player, and the winds ensemble of National Chung Hsing University, Taiwan. This Concerto contains three movements. The first movement is in a sonata form with two contrasting style melodies. The second movement is titled “Rondo” and the main theme is played by the Alto Saxophone player. In the middle section of this movement, the music turns into a charming waltz and which leads goes back to the beginning section. The third movement is a fast dancing movement with a slow introduction. As a brass player herself, Ms. Liang is willing to give the solo part many fast tonguing passages as well lyrical melodies to demonstrate the specific characteristics of this instrument. This work was premiered in July 7^th, 2018, by Shih-Yao Huang and the winds ensemble of National Chung Hsing University, Taiwan, under the direction of Chwan-Yaw Foo.
