‘Twas in the Moon of Wintertime”
“‘Twas in the Moon of Wintertime”, Traditional French Canadian Carol for Euphonium Quartet, arranged by Sarah Houle, 2021. Based on an old French folk tune, this arrangement elaborates on the traditional hymn tune, sometimes known as “The Huron Carol”, except I wanted to make it considerably more musically interesting instead of just chunky block chord…
Canon in D for Solo Unaccompanied Euphonium
There have been a lot of requests for this particular arrangement. Thanks to everyone who inquired about it…and sorry it would take me so long to respond… Now, it can be purchased from Sheet Music Plus and downloaded instantly!

Hop House Hop
“Hop House Hop”, for Banjo, Guitar, Accordion/Trombone, Tuba, by Sarah Houle, 2021.

Tomatoes are one of the most revered fruits according to Pastafarians. The Sauce, in the Pastafarian Holy Trinity (The Pasta, Sauce and Meatballs), is typically a delicious, red marinara. Appropriate for any…
Bier Trinken
I’m remembering the fun, adult band trips overseas today as I post this special piece. There has been hopeful talk of once again gathering for band. Another special trip seems to possibly be in the works as well as the summer season for two community bands I’m a part of. Leadership and members have been…
Veni Emmanuel Bell Carol
It’s a perfect day to introduce “Veni Emmanuel Bell Carol”! In a way, this arrangement embodies the blowing snow and blizzard-like conditions we are currently experiencing here…as well as it being the darkest time of the year. The Veni, Veni Emmanuel melody shines out from over the deep drones in the low brass, leading to…
