Ideas for an encore?

[Andy_Euph]

I'm going to see about doing the euph solo "The Better World" with my band but thought it would be good to do a slow encore item as well, to try and look professional if nothing else , but I can't really think of any that would go after this piece. I was thinking along the lines of salvation army but the only slow solo i've got is There Will be God, and that is really knackering.

Just wondered if anyone had any ideas?

Cheers

depending on your point of view, "My Way" is slow, and professional, and a classic encore.

How about Annie Laurie by David Catherwood?
It's the last track on Derick Kane's solo CD Lyric Variations.

[Australian Euphonium]

Mate I hear there is a nice little number called "Euphonium Concerto" by Torstein Aagard Nilsen - you might want to give it a quick 5 minutes tweaking before your gig.

Jeannie With The Light Brown Hair?

 

[EIBB_Ray]

Don't know what else you have programmed, but for my money Summer Isles from Hymn of the Highlands is a great slow Euph solo.

Share my yoke is a nice salvation army slow melody, don't know how suitable it'd be for an encore though. One of my fav slow solos

This spring I premiered my own arrangement of "A Night in June," a lovely little selection by the American wind band composer Karl K. King. The original version features the euphonium, and I re-wrote it as a solo. It was well-received on all three of the concerts where we (The Pacific Brass) played it.

I wrote is so that I could have something to demonstrate the Ophicleide, but the solo part is also perfectily suitable for Baritone or Euphonium.

"A Night in June" is in print, but not yet listed on my Bayside Music Press website. If you're interested, please e-mail me at [ jobriant@garlic.com ] for more information.

We've featured "Share my yoke" on euph a few times and it works well - we usually get the trombones to play the introduction, but otherwise the band parts stay as is.

A couple of other slower SA numbers you may want to sconsider are "The Beauty of the Barley Field" (a Korean tune again arranged for cornet but suits euph well), "Someone Cares" or Trevor Davis's "Shepherd Song".

This is the Euph with brassband version of the recording on Tormod Flatens CD Flight. (He used a 10 piece-backing).

When you've finished "The Better World"?? You must be mad! It's a long piece that! Do yourself (and the audience) a favour...grin widely and sit down when you've finished! Encore??? Na, don't bother with it mate!!
