  • Composer Suggestions for the Euphonium
    Euphonium: 3-Valve, 4-Valve, and 4-Valve Compensating Euphoniums: (The low range and intonation will differ depending on how many valves you have) *see attached chart Breath capacity Articulations: staccato, accents, slurred, legato tonguing, no marking Trills and Tremoli Double and Triple Tonguing Extended Techniques: Flutter Tonguing and Multi-phonics Mutes (You MUST allow time to put the mute in and adjust tuning slide) Composer Suggestions: “The euphonium is often called the “cello” of the band or the “shortstop” of a ball team.” Counter Melodies are great! It can be treated as an individual or be combined with the Clarinets, Horns, Saxes and other brasses. Earlier band literature treated it as an a “cello”, but more recent composers and arrangers are often treating it in a “new and lesser” role. They often give it the upper octave of the tuba part or treat it like a 3rd trombone. It has many more capabilities! The Euphoniums role changes depending on what group it is in. (Orchestras, Jazz Combos, Chamber Ensembles, and British Brass Bands) For example, in a British Brass Band it is treated in this way: The euphonium part is flexible and is often compared to that of the `cello in an orchestra. It is equally at home doubling the solo cornet line an octave down, as a melodic or counter-melodic lead, doubling the Bb bass an octave up or occasionally with the 1st trombone. The range of the part is large: most players will be comfortable over more than two octaves, from low G to top A, with the occasional higher note.

  • Soprano Cornet
    SOPRANO CORNET: THE HIDDEN GEM OF THE TRUMPET FAMILY by YANBIN CHEN (Under the Direction of Brandon Craswell) ABSTRACT The E-flat soprano cornet has served an indispensable role in the British brass band; it is commonly considered to be “the hottest seat in the band.”1 Compared to its popularity in Britain and Europe, the soprano cornet is not as familiar to players in North America or other parts of world. This document aims to offer young players who are interested in playing the soprano cornet in a brass band a more complete view of the instrument through the research of its historical roots, its artistic role in the brass band, important solo repertoire, famous players, approach to the instrument, and equipment choices. The existing written material regarding the soprano cornet is relatively limited in comparison to other instruments in the trumpet family. Research for this document largely relies on established online resources, as well as journals, books about the history of the brass band, and questionnaires completed by famous soprano cornet players, prestigious brass band conductors, and composers. 1 Joseph Parisi, Personal Communication, Email with Yanbin Chen, April 15, 2019. In light of the increased interest in the brass band in North America, especially at the collegiate level, I hope this project will encourage more players to appreciate and experience this hidden gem of the trumpet family.

  • The Composer's Guide to the Tuba
    THE COMPOSER’S GUIDE TO THE TUBA: CREATING A NEW RESOURCE ON THE CAPABILITIES OF THE TUBA FAMILY Aaron Michael Hynds A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF MUSICAL ARTS August 2019 Committee: David Saltzman, Advisor Marco Nardone Graduate Faculty Representative Mikel Kuehn Andrew Pelletier © 2019 Aaron Michael Hynds All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT David Saltzman, Advisor The solo repertoire of the tuba and euphonium has grown exponentially since the middle of the 20th century, due in large part to the pioneering work of several artist-performers on those instruments. These performers sought out and collaborated directly with composers, helping to produce works that sensibly and musically used the tuba and euphonium. However, not every composer who wishes to write for the tuba and euphonium has access to world-class tubists and euphonists, and the body of available literature concerning the capabilities of the tuba family is both small in number and lacking in comprehensiveness. This document seeks to remedy this situation by producing a comprehensive and accessible guide on the capabilities of the tuba family. An analysis of the currently-available materials concerning the tuba family will give direction on the structure and content of this new guide, as will the dissemination of a survey to the North American composition community. The end result, the Composer’s Guide to the Tuba, is a practical, accessible, and composer-centric guide to the modern capabilities of the tuba family of instruments. iv To Sara and Dad, who both kept me going with their never-ending love.

  • Victorian Brass Bands: the Establishment of a 'Working Class Musical Tradition'
    HERBERT 1 VICTORIAN BRASS BANDS: THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A 'WORKING CLASS MUSICAL TRADITION' Trevor Herbert y the end of Queen Victoria's reign, brass bands were one of the principal focuses of community music making in the United Kingdom. There were, if we are to believe the optimistic forecasts in one publication, 40,000 of them.1 Such a Bstatistic would indicate that the number of people playing in brass bands by the end of the century was something in the region of 800,000. At about the same time, audience attendance at open air brass band contests was, according to the highest estimate, 160,000 at a single event. This figure was quoted in the popular press following the 1900 National Brass Band Contest at the Crystal Palace. It should not, of course, be taken literally, but it is probably a good indicator of popular impression. When Queen Victoria ascended to the throne in 1837, the term '"brass band" meant nothing more than an ensemble of miscellaneous wind instruments in which brass instruments were prominent. At the end of the century the term was more closely defined. Brass bands had become the raison d'etre for a discrete but significant segment of the British music industry and for a widespread and intricate organizational structure that was largely controlled by working-class people. Since the end of the nineteenth century, the British brass band has had a standard line up of instruments - cornets in Bb (4 'solo', 2 seconds, 2 thirds plus one 'repiano'), 1 soprano cornet in Eb, 1 flugel horn in Bb, 3 tenor saxhorns in Eb, 2 baritone saxhorns in Bb, 2 euphoniums in Bb, 2 Eb basses, 2 BBb basses, 2 tenor trombones, 1 bass trombone, and percussion.

    A SURVEY OF ACTIVE BRASS BANDS IN THE STATE OF OHIO A Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Diana Droste Herak, B.M.E. * * * * * The Ohio State University 1999 Master's Examination Committee: Approved by Dr. Jon Woods, Adviser Dr. Jere Forsythe __a,_fL_}j)-A?L~---- Dr. Russel Mikkelson v--- Adviser School of Music Copyright by Diana Droste Herak 1999 ABSTRACT In England, many adult amateur musicians continue playing their instruments throughout their lives in the brass band world. In contrast, American adult musicians rarely continue performing once their school days are over. By conducting a survey of the current status of active brass bands in Ohio, it is the intent of this study to offer an historical background of each band, bring more exposure to the brass band movement, and promote brass banding as a musically worthwhile activity for adult amateur musicians. Not much is known about the history and current status of the brass band movement in America. In 1992, Dr. Ned Mark Hosler completed a dissertation entitled “The Brass Band Movement in North America: A Survey of Brass Bands in the United States and Canada.” The intent of this thesis was to focus specifically on British-style brass bands in the state of Ohio. A questionnaire was administered to a sample population of British brass bands in Ohio. The categories covered in the survey included basic information, band origin, membership demographics, instrumentation, organizational structure, rehearsals/performances, public/community support, repertoire, the impact of the North American Brass Band Association, and general considerations.

  • Coaching the Brass Quintet: Developing Better Student Musicians Through Chamber Music
    COACHING THE BRASS QUINTET: DEVELOPING BETTER STUDENT MUSICIANS THROUGH CHAMBER MUSIC By Albert E. Miller Jr. Submitted to the graduate degree program in Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Musical Arts. ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Michael Davidson ________________________________ Professor Scott Watson ________________________________ Dr. Alan Street ________________________________ Dr. Paul Popiel ________________________________ Dr. Martin Bergee Date Defended: April 1st, 2014 ! ii" The Dissertation Committee for Albert E. Miller Jr. certifies that this is the approved version of the following dissertation: COACHING THE BRASS QUINTET: DEVELOPING BETTER STUDENT MUSICIANS THROUGH CHAMBER MUSIC ________________________________ Chairperson Dr. Michael Davidson Date approved: April 15, 2014 " iii Abstract The brass quintet is currently one of the most predominant outlets for brass players to gain vital chamber music experience in the university setting. As a result, the role of applied brass instructors at universities has evolved into a role that is not entirely different than that of a conductor. The applied instructor plays the role of chamber coach, often without the skills necessary to provide the students with the skills they need for chamber music playing. This document seeks to provide the novice brass chamber coach with a guide as to the role of the applied professor in the musical and extra-musical development of young players. It will provide vital information for the coach that includes rehearsal strategies as well as samples of common performance issues found in the repertoire. While the amount of different rehearsal strategies and concepts is vast, this document aims to give the novice coach a primer for the instruction of student chamber ensembles.
