Thread: Band or Orchestra Pieces that Require a Euphonium Mute

  1. #1

    Band or Orchestra Pieces that Require a Euphonium Mute

    Use this thread to list the band/orchestra pieces that require a mute. If other than a straight mute, please specify the type!

    I'll add to this list as we get more entries. When a category gets really long, I'll spilt it out to its own thread.

    BAND

    • Doss, Thomas: Spiriti
    • Ellerby, Martin: Paris Sketches
    • Houben, Kevin: Lake of the Moon (one passage with a straight mute and 2 or 3 with cup mute)
    • Hunsberger, Donald: "Star Wars Trilogy" - brief straight mute section at the end of movement IV (Yoda's theme), during the transition into the final movement.
    • Maslanka, David: Symphony Number 4
    • Sakai, Itaru: The Seventh Night of July. It has a short muted section. Not worth the effort!
    • Sandler, Felicia" "Rosie the Riveter" - cup mute for a short section.
    • Schoenberg: Theme and Variations
    • van Der roost, Jan: Dublin Dances


    BRASS BAND
    • (PLACEHOLDER)


    ORCHESTRA

    • Aho: Symphony Number 9
    • Strauss, Richard: Ein Heldenleben and Don Quixote - several sections that require a straight mute in the tenor tuba part.

    Good point. I'll add a brass band category here.

    the brass band euphonium part for Thomas Doss's Spiriti requires cup and bucket mutes! I'd say it was silly, but both are actually really cool effects the way they are written and you'd be missing a lot if you didn't use the proper mutes.
