One of the most dramatic selections ever presented for band, Andrea Chenier has been a staple of mature and professional bands for over a century. This intense and exciting work includes some of the most passionate moments from the Italian opera into a breathtaking tour de force for mature bands. Prominently featuring bel-canto solos for euphonium and cornet/trumpet, the gorgeous melodies and dramatic musical climaxes will both thrill and excite performers and audiences alike. This striking new arrangement includes full score, and is carefully re-orchestrated to be more idiomatic to the wind band medium. Not for the faint-of-heart, and musically challenging, Andrea Chenier is ideal for experienced bands, and is not to be missed!

It’s virtually impossible to visit Ireland without feeling an instant appreciation for the scenic countryside, the endearing charm of its many citizens, and for the deep-rooted history of the country’s many crowning achievements. Solo trumpet/cornet (cued for euphonium) packaged with a brief, but optional, vocal solo highlights the beginning and ending of this beautiful piece. The middle section is pure Irish charm with a light and lively theme performed over the drones of bagpipes along with the rudimental sounds of drummers drumming. Simply stunning!

“Piece of contest (1903) is a work for Cornet and Piano by Augustin Savard. Composed for the Paris Conservatoire contest, this piece lasts approximately seven minutes and can be played by upper-intermediate and above level players . Starting solemnly, the first half of the piece is quite slow while the second half is more energetic and more cheerful. This piece would also be great to use in recitals. Augustin Savard (1861-1942) is a French composer who won the Prix de Rome who composed some oratories and some orchestral works.”.
