This is the second movement of a composition for euphonium and piano at a college level. It is being composed
through a commissioning consortium where each participant pays a small
fee that is refundable and receives score and parts, local
premiere rights and an inclusion in the dedication. For more information
about the consortium, please visit http://www.cooppress.net/page9/page385/index.htmlhttp://www.cooppress.net/page9/page385/index.html
The
composition for euphonium piano is a series of intermezzi in a third
stream style. Third Stream is a combination of classical and jazz
elements. The second intermezzo uses a light swing feel in a 7/4 meter. The harmony uses frequent 7th and 9th chords and counterpoint is also often used. Other jazz elements incorporated at times are a walking bass line and blue notes. The form is ABA.
I
export my Sibelius Music Notation file as a movie (new to version 7.5).
I also use Noteperformer software for the sounds. These are sample
sounds, but the software also includes an algorithm that
reads ahead in the music and phrases the music according to context,
therefore making the realization closer to live performance. I upload
these videos to youtube and embed the video for each
movement. I hope that this technology allows the reader to have an
easier experience and a more realistic performance. To see

As always, your comments are appreciated.
