About this arrangement

Small Ensemble Euphonium,Tuba - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.837240 Composed by Modest Mussorgsky (1839-1881). Arranged by Daniel S. Augustine. Romantic Period. Score and parts. 15 pages. Daniel S. Augustine #3558603. Published by Daniel S. Augustine (A0.837240).       Modest Mussorgsky (1839-1881) composed his Pictures at an Exhibition -- A Remembrance of Viktor Hartmann in 1874 as a suite of ten pieces (with a recurring Promenade) for piano, representing paintings by Hartmann. The "Bydlo" section depicted cattle or oxen slowly pulling a cart with enormous wheels. Maurice Ravel orchestrated this section with the high solo given to the French tuba in C (pitched a whole step above the Bb euphonium).  The present arrangement gives the melody to the euphoniums, and changes the key from the ungainly G# minor (five sharps) to Bb minor (5 flats). The tempo is very slow, with an eighth-note at 90, at which speed the piece takes about 3 minutes to play.  The highest pitches are a high Bb for Euphoniums 1 and 2, and the Bb a step under middle C for Tuba 1.  Good high school players should be able to handle this level, which is intermediate (perhaps advanced intermediate). This piece should be a crowd-pleaser, since it showcases the low-brass instruments rarely given solos.  Also, it is a piece that welcomes extra players for both euphoniums and tubas. Parts for both treble- and bass-clef euphoniums are provided.
