Description

Sibelius - Romance in C, Op. 42 for Euphonium and PianoSibelius wrote the five minute "Romance" in 1903 for string orchestra, originally titling it "Andante". However he was persuaded to change the name about five years later by a critic's review. In 1903, Sibelius was still composing in a Romantic style, not the austere sounds heard after he composed the 4th Symphony. Romance is made up of three sections; a slow Andante, a faster middle section and a slow third section. Mr. Sauer has distilled the music

The four movements have a variety of moods much in keeping with much of his music: passion

Amparito Roca March is the most famous of them by far

alternate instruments or voices could be employed as available

spiritual work is scored for five Tenor Trombones and one Bass Trombone

particularly of sorrow over regret and disappointment

consuming all within it as the curtain falls

His experience in performing his arrangement over the years with his late colleague Thomas Parriott was always highly entertaining to the audience

Sound clip is performed by Ralph Sauer (Trombone) and Mac Booke (Piano)

Scored for 6 Tenors and 2 Basses

Playable by advanced performers

Sweelinck's lifetime of keyboard improvisation gave him a great repertoire of keyboard techniques
