Rob Roy McGregor of Balquhidder Music describes "Danse" thus:
"This slinky little tune will easily find its way into your quintet programming. Whether it's the Grinch or any other arch villain, this could be their theme song. Enjoy yourself."

Danse Macabre - brass quintet (Valor Brass)

Homage to the resplendent and redoubtable garbanzo bean!

When my two brothers and I were younger we would sing this on the boardwalk at Rehoboth Beach to pick up change for Grotto pizza! 

The words:

Garbanzo beans for breakfast,
Garbanzo beans for lunch,
Garbanzo beans for dinner,
That is what we like to eat!

This is an arrangement for trombone trio.

Ed Hirschman of Art of Sound Music describes Be Cool thus: "A jazzy brass quintet in a upbeat, happy swing style. Sounds like it could have have words added and sung as a hit by the Andrew Sisters back in the day" Another stellar recording by Valor Brass!

Solitude - trombone quartet (Christopher Bill)

Performed at a Composers' Society concert on January 27, 2019.

From the publisher's listing:

"When writing Fanfare and March my mind was filled with visions and images of a long ago mystical, magical time replete with knights in shining armor, fair damsels in distress, trumpets resounding from the high turrets of castles, dark perilous forests, noble quests, epic battles of good versus evil, and so forth. I hope this piece evokes these magical and whimsical imaginings in you. Enjoy!"

Fanfare And March (live)

Martha and Robert Hanrott. Arranged by Jeffrey H. Bauer. Words by Nirupama Rao. This was recorded live at a Composers' Society of Montgomery County (Maryland, USA) concert on January 26, 2020. Sarah Sparling, voice and Jeffrey H. Bauer, piano

Peace Is My Dream (live)

Danse Joyeuse is an arrangement for brass quintet of Amader Khepie Beray, a song composed by India's Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore. The original Bengali translates roughly as:

The spring wind madly blows,
Swirling away the moon and the stars.
We joyously dance to the rhythm of the waves on the sea.
Let us leave behind all our burdens and move ever onward;
The joy in our steps will show us the way.

In this arrangement I have attempted to capture the rollicking, joyful "dance of life" that is depicted in Tagore's song.

This is the premiere performance on October 27, 2019 at a Composers' Society concert.

In addition to his classical training he has also played trombone and keyboard with a professional rock band that toured extensively on the East Coast.

In 2012 he and well-known Indian vocalist Sudeshna Basu joined together for a two-week concert tour in India performing his fusion compositions. Bauer’s fusion compositions were featured in the dance drama “Moha-mudgar” which was performed at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C. in 1995. Hillary Rodham Clinton was the MC and introduced the program.

In 2007 Bauer received an “Individual Artist Award” for excellence in musical composition from the Maryland State Art’s Council accompanied by a Governor’s Citation from then Maryland governor Martin O’Malley.
