you will find an unaccompanied solo for low wind instruments.
Let the preface do the presentation:
Ved Dagens begyndelse
(At the beginning of the day)
For basun solo
(For trombone solo)
Composed by Iris Larsen (1944 - )
Edited and typeset by Klaus Bjerre 2004
This present editor was asked to perform this solo as the
opening of a concert in May 1998 in the medieval village church
in northwest Zealand, where the composer Iris Larsen was the
organist. I was offered the option to choose any of my
instruments for the performance. As I doubled on euphonium
and bass trombone in the band presented at this concert, I
chose my King 7B bass trombone. A choice that lead to no
regrets.
Solos for low brasses (or woodwinds) are not that common, so
this edition encompasses these versions:
C-concert bass clef for trombone, euphonium, bass tuba, or
bassoon
Bb treble clef for trombone, euphonium, and bass clarinet.
Performances on Bb soprano and Bb contrabass clarinets may
not lead to immediate arrests.
F treble and bass clef for low horn
Eb treble clef for Eb tuba, Eb contralto clarinet, and Eb baritone
saxophone. Performances by Eb alto clarinets and Eb alto
saxophones may not lead to immediate arrests.
The usual Amen of the prefaces for the YMBBb offerings is
sounded this way:
"This arrangement can be used free of charge, but reports on
readings and performances would be nice."
However this solo represents a different situation, because the
composer fortunately still is alive:
Iris Larsen owns the melody. She kindly and forthcomingly has
given this present editor the rights to distribute his several
versions for free. As Iris Larsen is a member of the Danish
equivalent of ASCAP, named KODA, a short for
Komponistrettigheder i Danmark, each and every performance
shall be reported to ASCAP, KODA, or their applicable national
equivalent in accordance with the laws in the respective nation
and/or state.
Iris Larsen can be contacted via info@...
