Saudade - Solo for Bb Baritone or Euphonium

Saudade - Solo for Bb Baritone or Euphonium

Saudade, from the Portuguese culture, is a feeling of longing, melancholy, desire or nostalgia, describing a deep emotional state; a yearning for a happiness that is passed or unattainable.

I have produced versions for soloist with piano, full brass band and brass ensemble. The ensemble version was premiered (by me) at the 2021 NZ Brass Band National Invitational Slow Melody.

You can hear a full performance of the piano version HERE.
