Duration: 9 m : 5 s
Antonio Capuzzi (August 1, 1755 – March 28, 1818) was an Italian violinist and composer who studied violin with Nazari and composition with Bertoni. In 1805 he moved to Bergamo, where he was professor of violin at the Instituto Musicale and leader of the orchestra at Teatro Riccardi. He was highly regarded there both as a teacher and a performer. Although popular in his day, most of his music is now forgotten; his most commonly performed piece today is the Concerto for Double Bass. All of Capuzzi’s known compositions were written during his Venetian years. It was in Venice that Capuzzi became close friends with Domenico Dragonetti, Beethoven‘s virtuoso bassist. It is speculated that Capuzzi wrote his Concerto for Double Bass for Dragonetti. Gerald Oswald has made a fine arrangement of the second (Andante) and third (Rondo) movements of the concerto to feature either euphonium or tuba with concert band. The solo part is also available in an edition with piano accompaniment.

BATTLES AND CHANTS (large format score) Prestige Series - Grade 5.0 - Soloist 6.0 Performance time 21.02
BATTLES AND CHANTS is in three movements. The solo clarinet can be heard in the role of Cassivellaunus defending his territory against the Romans (the wind and brass instruments), and on occasions the clarinet wins the upper hand. The first movement, ‘Foreign Invader’, starts slowly on the timpani and leads to a clarinet solo followed by a full-blooded fanfare representing Cassivellaunus, commander of the Southern Tribes. This section soon changes tempo, anticipating battles and skirmishes to come. The second movement, Betrayal’, is the emotional core of the concerto, with Cassivellaunus contemplating defeat. The timpani start the movement, reflecting the opening of the first. A hymn-like chant in the wind and brass allows the soloist to soar over the top of the band with melancholic phrases. The third and final movement, Defeat of the Southern Tribes, starts with Caesar, represented by the percussion section, marching towards Cassivellaunus’ Hertfordshire stronghold for the final showdown. After a full-blooded battle the work ends with the final sounding of Cassivellaunus’ fanfare, but this time heralding his defeat and Caesar’s victory.

Grade of Solo trumpet - 2.0 Grade of Band Accompaniment 1.5
BEGUINE For Solo Trumpet and Band is the third in a series of solos with band accompaniment at the grade 1.5 level in the Queenwood/Kjos Developing Band Series. The first two include SERENADE For Solo Clarinet and Band by this writer and BALLADE For Solo Flute and Band by Anne McGinty. All three have been commissioned by the ‘Wilson Junior High School Band of El Centro, California, and by their director Mitch Sturman. A fourth for solo alto saxophone with band accompaniment is contemplated for the future to round out this series. Mr. Sturman’s goal is to provide accessible solo with band literature for the common band instruments of the junior high and middle school bands. Young performers need the experience of playing solos in order to develop and refine skills, and to develop the confidence needed to perform in public as a soloist.
The goal in any solo with band performance is to allow the soloist to be heard at all times, which means volume control on the part of the band players, or the thinning out of the number of players, as necessary, in order to achieve this goal. BEGUINE For Solo Trumpet and Band establishes and maintains a steady pace throughout. If extra percussion players and instruments are available, or the players can be recruited from the ranks of larger sections of the band, a special Latin Percussion part is provide for claves, maracas and guiro (scratcher). This part is not indicated in the score, but is very easy to memorize, because it is basically the same four-measure phrase repeated throughout. An optional piano accompaniment part is provided for rehearsal only, or for use as a separate solo with piano accompaniment presentation, and in fact all the solos in this series are available separately for this purpose. Check the Kjos catalog for ordering information. The soloist should be in front of the band playing toward the audience, and it should be rehearsed this way. Amplification should not be necessary for this instrument, but if it is employed, the volume should be very carefully controlled to avoid imbalance with the band and distorted sound from the soloist.

Bliss is one of the most spectacular euphonium solos around. It was commissioned by the euphonium virtuoso, Steven Mead. This two-part concerto brings all the characteristics of the instrument into the spotlight: it contains a slow, colourful section that resembles a typical English air, in which the full round warmth of the instrument is revealed, followed by an extremely virtuoso, dynamic fast movement. A great one for any soloist looking for a challenge!
