Product Information

Ode for St. Cecilia’s Day was originally written in 1692 to celebrate the feast day of St. Cecilia, the patron saint of musicians. Transcribed as a low brass duet with piano accompaniment, written for and recorded by the Symbiosisduo, this piece is a fairly easy read with minimal range in the euphonium, A2 to E4; the tuba player is required at times to play melodically above the staff with a range from G2 to D4. This piece does not require much technical proficiency from the pianist and is mainly supporting the duo by outline chords throughout the piece. Although the copy is very easy to read, there is only one supplied part between the two players, with a choice of reading bass clef or B-flat treble clef for the euphonium player.

This piece is very suitable for advanced high school performers or lower level college students looking to get involved with chamber music or anyone looking for a Baroque piece to add to their own repertoire.
