Intrepideedoodah
Composer: Self, Jim
Instrumentation: Mixed Ensemble Instruments: Drum Set, Euphonium, Piano, Trumpet, Tuba
Genre: ContemporaryTrumpet, Euphonium, Tuba, Piano and Drum Set
Intrepideedoodah was commissioned by the wonderful SymbiosisDuo of Gail Robertson and Stacy Baker and was premiered at the 2014 International Tuba Euphonium Conference at Indiana University. It is recorded on the SymbiosisDuo “Playground” CD. Trumpet and Piano (and optional Drums) are added to the Tuba and Euphonium of the group to give it more color and textures. The Euphonium part can optionally be played on Trombone. Much of the work is written like a jazz ensemble piece with themes over harmonic changes with development and written or improvised solos. 6/4 is the predominant meter. I love to write in this meter because of all the rhythmic permutations. It freely goes back and forth between 6/4/ and 12/8. But any groups of 2, 3, 4 or 6 can be used in hemiola fashion. After a rousing intro the main theme is played in the Trumpet over Piano chords with Euphonium and Tuba counter melodies. Then the Euphonium (Trombone) has an improvised solo over modal changes in the piano. A tutti interlude is followed by written Trumpet and Tuba solos. The theme (head) returns and the piece ends with a fast coda featuring short solos by all and a splashy ending. Intrepideedoodah is a high energy jazzy romp. (one movement-7 minutes). The title is another one of my silly puns.

Frivol I Tease
Composer: Self, Jim
Instrumentation: Solo and Piano Instruments: Piano, Tuba
Genre: Contemporarywith Piano
Frivol I Tease for Solo Tuba (or Bass Trombone) and Piano was commissioned by the Portuguese virtuoso Sergio Carolino. It is in two contrasting movements. The first movement, Modal I Tease, begins with a brief modal intro. That is followed by a loping 5/4 jazz waltz (a la Brubeck’s “Take Five”). The tuba states the melody over a static piano figure. Then the piano repeats the theme over an obligato tuba accompaniment. The second is a bitonal section between the instruments. This leads into a real 3/4 jazz waltz based on a “cool” set of chord changes I found that builds to a high G in the tuba. The modal intro returns to end gently.
Movement two, Complex I Tease, is a virtuoso showpiece for both the tubist and pianist. Wide intervals, sudden dissonances, glissandi and surprising meter changes abound. The tuba part covers a 4 octave range and is very high energy. The piece really shows off the spectacular technical abilities of Sergio Carolino.
Frivol I Tease and its movements are more of my “punny” titles. I joke that my titles are better than my music.

Tongue in Cheek
Composer: Self, Jim
Instrumentation: Solo and Piano Instruments: Piano, Tuba
Genre: Contemporarywith Piano
Tongue in Cheek was written for my former DMA student David Holben who is an active free-lancer and recitalist in the Los Angeles area. He has become quite a specialist on the cimbasso and wanted a piece for cimbasso (or bass tuba) and Piano. It was premiered October 22, 2014 at Biola University on cimbasso with Rose Chen on Piano.
Tongue in Cheek is a short (3:30), fun piece with lots of fast changes and a few humorous snippets of familiar melodies—hence the title. It explores the full range from pedal Bb to F above middle C and is for the advance player. The harmonic structure is a mix of tonal, modal and bi-tonalities. The first section is a lively scherzo with lots of rhythmic and melodic interplay between the instruments. The middle is a slower waltz returning to the scherzo tempo with development of the original material and a sudden ending.

HoopLA
Composer: Self, Jim
Instrumentation: Brass Quintet Instruments: 2 Trumpets, Horn, Trombone and Tuba
Genre: Contemporary“For many years I have coached brass quintets at the USC Thornton School of Music. One of the outstanding young quintets was the Valente Brass: Yurie Yoshida, and Jessica Cruz, Trumpets; Erika Miras, Horn; Jonathan Sie, Trombone; and Jake Kraft, Bass Trombone. They kept urging me to write a quintet for them and thus was born HoopLA. This short (4:30 min) one movement piece was premiered by them at the “Live at Basset Hall 8” concert, April 13, 2014. It was during this same time that I was writing two other works, Intrepideedoodah and Pocket Change. In all three I used 6/4 meter as the main rhythmic structure. I call it my 6/4 “period”. That meter translates easily into 12/8 and many other groupings of 2s, 3s, 4,s and 6s—the glories of hemiola abound. A unison intro leads to a Latin set-up in the trumpets and a tricky groove in the trombones. The horn has a haunting melody over that. A middle waltz section follows with imitative solos in the trumpets and a series of duets between the all of the players—giving the impression of odd meters. The main theme returns with a rousing ending. The brass quintet members named the piece HoopLA and, as the title suggests, it’s a lot of fun in Los Angeles.” - Jim Self Learn MoreFrom $24.95

Duh Suite (Euphoniums)
Composer: Self, Jim
Instrumentation: Duet Instruments: Euphonium
Genre: Contemporarywith Drums
From the composer:
Duh Intro, is a fast contrapuntal piece with declamatory fanfares and a four-octave range. Then comes Duh Odds, a fast, relentless series of odd-meter measures with a variety of tom-toms providing a driving beat (don’t be surprised if you hear some Stravinsky). Movement three is a slow, jazzy ballad named Duh Fool Professors. The percussion accompaniment is all spacey metallic sounds (cymbals, triangles and the like), over wide-interval melodies in the tubas. Duh Blooze calls for lots of laid-back slippin’ and slidin’ and much trading of blues melodies and bass lines–while the drummer plays brushes. In Duh Yaz the tubas are called upon for some super acrobatics. After a scary intro, the group moves into a jazz/rock and samba feel for “the tune”. The middle section is a kind of development section with each tuba taking the limelight, after which there is a return to the tune and a fade ending. The finale is, of course, called Duh KoDa (an acronym based on the initials of the soloists). The music of this movement returns some of the fast scales from the first movement and more wild, declamatory material for all. Like all the movements, it emphasizes interesting and varied rhythmic patterns. The drums are to be played at a drum set by a musician who has jazz and rock “chops” and is encouraged to be creative with the part.

Three 4 Five
Composer: Self, Jim
Instrumentation: Brass Quintet Instruments: 2 Trumpets, Horn, Trombone and Tuba
Genre: ContemporaryThree 4 Five was written in 1996 during a slow period in the studios — mostly just to write an energetic piece for brass quintet. It was premiered by the Wisconsin Brass Quintet. The quintet repertoire is full of old transcriptions and aleatoric modern pieces but not enough good, solid, new concert pieces. I thought about those favorite pieces that I enjoyed playing and using with students – the Arnold, Reynolds, Bozza, Jones, Cheetam Haines – and found them all to be melodic, tonal/modal in harmony, rhythmically interesting, and technically challenging. Three 4 Five (Suite for Brass Quintet) is my attempt to add to that “kind” of repertoire. Capriccio begins with a rather dissonant fanfare followed by the acrobatic main theme in the horn. The form is a modified rondo with many rhythmic permutations. Cantilena was written for my wife, Jamie, and is a ballad featuring the solo tuba. The trumpets and trombone change to flugel horns and euphonium giving a lush conical sound to the movement. Modal and jazz harmonies are prevalent. The final Caccia (chase) begins with a fast 6/8 intro that leads into a lop-sided “Viennese” waltz in 5/8. The chase returns and leads into a coda section with references to the first movement. The piece ends in a flurry of lines and final octave low G’s (pedal G off the piano in the tuba). Three 4 Five was recorded on The Big Stretch CD, Basset Hound Records BHR 106-2, by studio greats Malcom McNab and Jon Lewis, trumpets/flugel horns; David Duke, horn; William Booth, trombone/euphonium; Jim Self, tuba. For the musical and technical challenges of this piece, these guys are my “Dream Team” brass quintet. The Big Stretch CD is available from www.bassethoundmusic.com
